In Reply to: Good action movie from either Warner Bros or columbia/tristar posted by Jay on March 19, 1999 at 13:02:41:
After searching high and low, I've come up with the :fifth element (from Columbia/Tri Star. Good? It's gotten good reviews at www.dvdresource.com and from the SMR forums, plus I never saw it before so it seems to match.
the other movies I found that fit was Twister, which I've seen and wasn't that impressed with the movie, Air Force one, which I've also seen or
Blade Runner, which is tempting, but it's only 2-channel DD or DPL (I forget which) Since I want to check out the 5.1 channel I thought I'd go with the 5th element...
Jay
The Fifth Element is much better than Twister or Air Force One, IMHO, but it's no Blade Runner.
Great, I've seen twister and AFO already, I didn't like twister, and AFO was OK. Blade Runner is a classic and I doubt I would or could compare it against BR, but I just as much now want to play with the DD as much as watch a movie, unfortunately the BR is just an enhanced transfer, although supposed a good audio track, it's not full 5.1 channel transfer. I can get that cheaply on the net down the road, haven't seen it since college anyway...
Jay
I'd say it's typical action. Not a great film but good soundtrack, stunning visual effects and entertaining.
Thanks, that's what I'm really after, I'm at the newbile stage where I want to setup my HT after purchasing my first DVD player so I read some good reviews of the audio and video portions of fifth element and I've never seen it before. I've seen Blade Runner a couple of times (not on DVD) and I read that it's only enhanced, not 5.1 so it wont really test out my DD processor and my HT as good as the Fifth element.
Jay
True, but a Wozz points Blade Runner is in another class.
