Before you order this DVD, effect certain you are aware that this is the shortened, U.S. release version! Fox issued the complete film several years ago on laserdisc in a exquisite widescreen transfer, so naturally everyone expected that they would do the same for the DVD. No such luck — Fox has decided this time out to go with the well-known truncated version, which runs a fleshy nine minutes shorter than the modern British release. Ray Harryhausen fans should be particularly outraged, as the edited film snips away some of his special effects footage. This has to defective as the first major DVD disappointment of 2004.
I admire this movie, but I won’t be purchasing the U.S. DVD. Immediately upon finding out the dreadful news, I placed an order through Amazon.co.uk for the complete film on R2 DVD, which, in addition to being uncensored, also features some extras (including reportedly lengthy interviews with Raquel Welch and Ray Harryhausen) that will not be included on the R1 disc. If you are a fan of this richly atmospheric, goofily absorbing dinosaur narrative, I recommend you do the same.
This is the best cavemen-and-dinosaurs movie ever made! The acting is suitable, and, yes, there is a lot of scope for acting in this movie. The site isn’t very subtle, but it concerns the most grand of all dramatic themes — survival — and it is utterly moving. The scenery is ravishing, and magnificently filmed. The animation by Ray Harryhausen is knowing and realistic. The fetch by Mario Nascimbene is awe-inspiring and perfectly appropriate to the action. No, the movie is not scientifically factual, but that doesn’t matter. The movie is fantasy, and should be viewed as a narrate, not of the world we live in as it was long ago, but of another world, which might have existed if things had gone differently.

There are some people who laugh at the scene where Tumak is chased by the giant blue iguana, but Ray Harryhausen may have the last laugh, as this is the most realistic portion of the movie. In Australia 50,000 years ago, there really were big carnivorous lizards, and there can be no doubt that on some occasions they really did sail down, end, and eat the ancestors of the Australian aborigines. The lizard is called Megalania today, and it was 30 feet long and 7 feet high in the middle of the befriend. Its limited relative the Komodo dragon is a known man-eater. Of course, Megalania did not observe exactly like an iguana, and the shot would have been more realistic with a true Komodo dragon, but a staunch Komodo dragon would try to eat the cast and crew, and its bite is almost as risky as a cobra’s. In addition to venom glands which bustle the whole length of its lower jaw, it harbors a host of obnoxious bacteria in its mouth. One of these is Yersinia Multocida, which translates roughly as “the bubonic plague relative that kills everything”. Iguanas are harmless.
By now you’re wondering why I gave the movie one star instead of five.

A cessation comparison between the DVD version (Area 1) and a full-screen version shown on television reveals that, contrary to the advertising, this is not a widescreen version of the movie. It was made by cutting off the top and bottom of the fullscreen version.
Nor was it made by a careful pan-and-scan process, like the one archaic to convert movies filmed in Cinemascope into fullscreen versions for television, which tries to ensure that the most valuable parts of the record remain centered on the visible camouflage. Instead, they seem to have slash off the same parts of the record without regard to what was being shown. Heads and legs of people and dinosaurs are slash off. Spectacular mountain peaks are prick off, leaving a insensible brown scene without distinguishing landmarks. In coarse close-ups, people’s foreheads and chins are prick off.
If they had advertised this version as a fullscreen version cleave down to fit a widescreen TV, that would be truthful and I would have no complaint. But to advertise it as a “widescreen” version, “preserving the recent theatrical aspect ratio”, is untrue and misleading.
