Advantages: Superbit versions are actually cheaper it seems, as well as sharper
Disadvantages: I suspect this'll only get used for action movies!

...This may not seem like the usual critique of a movie on DVD, but since this film has been available on DVD for some time, I thought I’d alert you to an interesting re-issue of the disk, with some added (some might say taken away) features. If you’re looking for a blow-by-blow account of the movie itself look elsewhere. I’d seen The Fast & The Furious before, lent to me by my neighbour who likes this kind of thing. Well, he’s got a 42” widescreen set monitor and DTS sound with an extra woofer, and boy, can it woof! My own home cinema’s no slouch either, and it’s a good job that our two ‘semis’ are the ‘halls adjoining’ kind TF&TF is an ideal movie for showing off your equipment, and so it was with some interest that I noticed the emergence of the so-called ‘SUPERBIT’ version of the DVD, retailing for £9.99.

After a devestating battle between the two factions, a new threat turns up in the form of a (Death Star Like) monster planet.

Advantages: A different kind of movie
Disadvantages: Didn't follow the books-comics

...***Immortel*** Yes this is one of those movies that I watch and no one has even heard of! Blade Runner and The Fifth Element stole ideas from this director-comic writer (Like Matrix did from Ghost in the shell - Akira). See Introduction for general information :) ***Cast – Direction*** Direction: Enki Bilal Playing: Linda Hardy, Charlotte Rampling, Thomas Kretschmann, Thomas M. Pollard, Yann Collette, Frédéric Pierrot, Jean-Louis Trintignant, Corinne Jaber, Joe Sheridan Duration: around 102 minutes Production: TF1 Films Productions, 2004 ***Introduction*** Before I even begin trying to explain this movie you need to know some background information. Immortel is originally a futuristic comic created by Enki Bilal. For the Yugoslav Enki Bilal this is the first time where he transports his comic... Read review
