Your Opinions and Comments
Video- The video is presented in 2.35:1 anamorphic widescreen. For the most part, the video is quite clean and is quite flawless. The real flaw here is the really bad CG monsters in this film, it`s an eye sore to say the least.
Audio- Your choice, regular DD 5.1 or DTS. Both are agressive, but the real problem is the rubbish dialogue.
Extras - In this DVD, you`ll find 2 short and self praising featurettes, 5 music vids and a bunch of storyboards. Skip all those and go straight to the commentary by Herr Boll himself. He at first admits his mistakes and then he goes ranting and raving about how this film is compared to Alien which I`m shocked by his comments. He then praises Tara Reid, who he thought she looks really smart with the glasses, total BS. What really is absurd is his appraisal for the CG in the film which he thought it was good but in reality it isn`t. According to the master of error, it took 1.5 years to complete. Oh joy.
Overall- Not worth renting let alone buying it, even if the DVD costs 1p at the bargain bin. This is from the same guy who compares himself to David Lynch and Sergio Leone and this is a really absurd statement, IMO. I can`t believe that he`s challenging his critics through a boxing match especially the ones who give a detail account on why his films are some of the worst creations ever made.
