First Men in the Moon (1964)
Great color restoration, good sound quality
This recent DVD re-release (May, 2003) now has Dolby 4.0 stereo along with a remarkable color restoration. While not up to today's Dolby (THX) standards the soundtrack and musical score are quite good for a vintage 1964 classic. The color of this version is actually better than what I remember in the theater and much better than any TV replays (which are quite rare for this film).
This was one of my all time favorite Harryhausen films as a kid and I'm glad to see it given a decent treatment to DVD. No spoilers here other than to say I still find this film as intriguing and interesting now as I did almost 40 years ago.
For pure fantasy buffs and sci-fi fans "First Men in the Moon" is a fun flick to enjoy.
Grab the popcorn, take the phone off the hook, and enjoy this DVD.
