This is a very different movie, a sort of Dances with Wolves but 20 years
earlier. It's the story of Jeremiah Johnson (Robert Redford) a shady character who comes
to the rocky mountains to begin life anew, as if he is trying to hide something or is
running from someone.
In his first year he is so unprepared he nearly dies, another victim
of the power of nature. But after being saved by an old hermit who also lives in the
woods, he develops enough skills to begin fending for himself, the story then moves along
as he tries to tame nature, the elements, Indians and pretty much anything else that gets
thrown at him along the way.
As you can probably tell I didn't like the movie very much
but I stuck it out, although this movie is great to watch if I have insomnia. 2 hours of a
bloke roughing' it. No thanks.

Pretty poor actually the were a lot of specks and noise in the picture and it
seem to wobble and shimmer quite a bit, it looks like they have tried to clean it up but
they didn't do a very good job at it. The movie did also have an overture, intermission and
closing sequence scores. I did like that.
Jeremiah Johnson is Framed at
2:35:1 and
is 16:9 enhanced.
This is a single sided, single layer disc.

Again the movie has been re mastered in Dolby Digital 5.1, but the movie didn't
seem very immersive.
Hardly used the surround channels at all and the .1 channel didn't
even peep, the sound only seemed to come out of the front 3 channels, at least the dialog
was clear and easy to understand.

| EXTRAS |
|
A couple of things on this disc, you get production notes, a trailer, a ten
minute Featurette and scene access commands. The box states that the movie has a French
soundtrack on it, but only an English soundtrack is included.
|
| FINAL THOUGHTS |
| Overall I was quite disappointed by the movie and the disc quality. For starters
the Featurette was in a stupid box but that is 16x9 enhanced so it was easily fixed, the
movie was as boring as whale shit and there weren't many extras on the disc. And I also
think there isn't enough chapters on the disc as well. Get the disc if you really need to
but I would personally stay clear. |
