Speed Racer

Over graphics

Excelente calidad! Muy padre presentación aunque solo debo confesar que el audio queda un poco a deber, viene más bajo que lo normal pero me gustó volver a tener la emoción de las carreras. En cuanto a la peli 5 estrellas sin duda, mucha acción

Speed Racer is one of those rare live action movies that actually looks like and plays like a Saturday morning cartoon but with much better graphics, sound and a (slightly) more mature dialoque.If you've ever seen the Dick Tracey or the third SpyKids movies, you'll know what I mean. If you haven't, then you're in for a real visual treat. It's two hours of the most eye-popping ultra-bright colourful visuals you've ever seen as the racers zip around, over, under and at times I swear through every obstacle in their paths and that's a lot! It's actually quite faithful to the old 80's cartoon series on which it's based.While it's primarily a kids movie like Spykids 3, an adult will find it equally good fun. Just park your brain in neutral, sit back and enjoy the adrenaline rush.And if you've got a home theatre system, sooooo much the better. This movie really shines on my 61" flatscreen in either dvd or bluray and the Dolby 5.1 does a good job in the surround department with good channel separation and deep bass when warranted.Please note that while the BD has slightly better video over the dvd (the dvd is still very good though), it's the same Dolby 5.1 audio track as on the dvd, no DTS master audio here. But they did take advantage of the increased BD storage capacity to add full 5.1 audio tracks in Spanish and Portugues.J. A.

Very happy with the product, and also with the excellent service provided by Gigs Books and Media !! The best !

Great movie. Visually stunning and it offers a subtle hidden depth to the story that can also be enjoyed purely for it's surface level cartoonish action. Underrated for sure.

I love this movie. It's not a guilty pleasure, because then that would imply that the movie is actually bad, and I know it's bad, but I like it anyways. I legitimately think this is a great movie, and it's a shame that the critics and audiences didn't resonate with the film.If you've ever had the feeling while watching a movie adaptation where you felt that the directors or writers didn't really understand the source material and you feel like Hollywood never makes good movies that are true to the source material, then you need look no further than Speed Racer to find out why. It's a fantastic adaptation of the original cartoon, made with love and respect, and yet audiences and critics railed on it mercilessly at its release. The mass public doesn't want creative movies that are true to the source material. And we've proved it over and over again. However, if you are like me and you want a movie like that, despite what critics and general audiences say, then this is a perfect fit for you. It improves on it exponentially in every way, and it makes for a fun, heartwarming, action packed movie that is overflowing with love for the source material.There are so many details that the Wachowskis put in their movie to call back to the original cartoon, and while I was watching it I couldn't help but feel that passion shine through. The story isn't winning any originality, but it's the way that they present the story that makes it original. Some might find the transitions and exposition scenes a bit jarring, because it isn't just people sitting around talking. Instead the movie mixes action and exposition moving back and forth through the present, past, and future, and it just gets you so invested in what's going on.This film also deserves to be seen on Blu-Ray. The CGI looks a bit dated sometimes, but most of the time the stylized look just looks amazing, and even better in 1080p HD Blu-ray.If you haven't seen it and you value originality and passion in filmmaking and are looking for a movie that can both pump you up and tug at your heart strings, then do yourself a huge favor and check out this highly underrated dare I say... classic!
