The Island of Dr. Moreau (DVD, 1997, Unrated; Director's Cut)

Haven't received it yet but am ordering for my dvd library. Liked it when I saw it a few years ago! xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

I watched this movie because i loved the book so much. Well the movie was not what i expected. It was just awful. Do yourself a favor and read the book you won't be dissapointed.

I enjoyed the movie very much. I was very happy with the whole deal. Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their country.

audio had 2 choices english default and french. an interesting film that makes you think. 2 choices for screen - widescreen and standard

Product was as stated. New in package sealed and not a "knock off". Price was reasonable, and shipping time fairly quick. Very satisfied with this purchase. Hard to find in a "regular store".

Okay, so this movie was done when there wasn't great deals of special effects, but I love this movie, I love the idea and story line, nothing is left undone, and I totally think this is where Austin Powers got the "mini me" from!!

I recieved this book in a reasonable amount of time and in good condition. I bought this dvd for a class assignment.

This movie was a blast from the past and I remembered it had given me chills in my younger years. I wanted to share this with my teen on a rainy Saturday with a bowl of popcorn. Fun, fun.. and considering presently, the advanced special effects this generation is experiencing, Dr. Moreau still held it own in entertainment.
Plus having my teen just seeing the movie and reading the book, Street Car Named Desire, in school and being exposed to Val Kilmer in recent films, it was nice to see his reaction to a younger Brando and a younger Kilmer. Also the poor stranded man is now a featured professor in the Harry Potter series, Lupin.

THE CONDITION WAS GREAT. IT LOOKED BRAND NEW FOR BEING AN OLDER MOVIE AND WAS SENT IN AWSOME SPEED.

Do not confuse this Sci-Fi Flick with the 1977 Island of Doctor Moreau, which has become a cult classic, but unfortunately is now out of print!
1997 arrives with John Frankenhiemer's remake starring Marlon Brando in the famous role of Doctor Moreau. However, Brando is an aging over-weight albino scientist who really appears to be high on drugs or something to the extreme as with the rest of the cast and the Beastmen as well.
Val Kilmer plays Brando's assistance, who immediatly in the first 10 minutes of the film breaks the neck of a small helpless rabbit, which in turn really WAS A MAJOR TURN OFF! Why they wasted filming this scene doesn't make sense!!
British extrodinare David Thewlis of Dragonheart fame, is rescued by Kilmer after Thewlis' plane crashed and has gone down in the Ocean. On an exclusive solitude island in the Pacific, where all of the weird experimentations are taking place, Brando as Moreau is experimenting with animals and turning them into creatures called humanimals. Dr. Moreau is a brilliant geneticist on the brink of superseding evolution, when the experiments back fire and the beast-men revolt and take over the island and are on the verge of threatening all life on Moreau's island, and perhaps the rest of the world as well.
The Outstanding special effects by the Wizard of Special Effects Animatronics and outstanding make up by Stan Winston Creature Workshop does make this flick worth viewing the upgrade from the 1977's version. This version's time stream takes place in the future around the year 2052 unlike 1977's version was based in the 19th Century.
