movies for guys movie review Men in Black Limited Edition
Rated PG-13
Runtime: 1hr 38min
Starring: Will Smith, Tommy Lee Jones, Linda Fiorentino, Rip Torn, Vincent D'Onofrio

MFG Rating: 5/5

DVD Features

Video: Both widescreen and fullscreen versions are included with the limited edition. The widescreen enhanced version is absolutely stunning. The colors and contrast are excellent and the effects come across just as well as they did at the theater.

Audio: An outstanding Dolby Digital 5.1 track. You'll get a lot of low frequence effects as well as surround effects without being too obnoxious. The big scenes in this movie will really show off your home theater's sound capabilities.

Extras: The "limited edition" is a 2 disc set and absolutely loaded with one of the best collections of extras you'll ever see. You'll get the usual commentary, trailers, production notes, photo galleries, etc. But the real fun is with some of the special effects stuff where multi-angle is used for animation studies, and even the ability to edit some scenes yourself. If you like the creatures, you'll learn everything there is to know about their creation.

DVD Quick Take

This is a DVD that belongs in everyone's collection. There are several versions of Men In Black available on DVD, but we really like the "Limited Edition" 2 disc set. Any true fan of the movie will enjoy this as it has one of the best collections of extras we've seen including lots of great interactive stuff. You can literally spend hours with these DVDs even after the movie is over.

As for the movie itself, surely you've seen it. But if not, this is one of Will Smith's best efforts. He is recruited by the dead-pan Tommy Lee Jones to be one of the Men In Black. This is a secret organization that secretly monitors and polices alien activity on earth. And you'd be surprised just how many aliens there are here!

The DVD faithfully reproduces the big screen experience of this movie. The picture is near perfect, and the soundtrack will really wake up your home theater if you have invested in Dolby Digital.

This 2 disc set gets our highest recommendation. It belongs in everyone's collection.
