Six Days, Seven Nights
Touchstone / 1997 / 98 Mins / Rated M15+


MOVIE
I never did see Six Days, Seven Nights at the theatre and I wish I did, it's an enjoyable movie although it didn't do very well commercially, it's very good. 

It's the story of Robin Monroe (Anne Heche) a reporter for a magazine who comes to the islands of Tahiti with her fiancée (David Schwimmer) for a little holiday. 

While there she is requested to go to the main island for an interview so she reluctantly goes with Quinn Harris (Harrision Ford) along the way they hit a thunderstorm and crash. 

Stuck in the middle of nowhere on an uninhabited island they have to make do with what they have while trying to find how to get off the island. Along the way they fall in love and meet some very nasty pirates and animals. Fun stuff.

VIDEO
While not as good as Crimson Tide this still is a very good transfer. There were a few artifacts during the thunderstorm scene but that was the limit of major problems. The colors were well saturated and the blacks were completely solid, contrast was spot on as well. Good form.

Six Days, Seven Nights is framed at 2:35:1 and is 16x9 enhanced.

This is a single-sided, single layer disc.

AUDIO

This is a great Dolby Digital 5.1 mix. Every little sound effect is well mixed. From music to ambient sounds to sound effects. This is a great lesson in sound field design. The surrounds were always active as was the bass .1 channel when it was required.

The dialog was very clear.

EXTRAS
Nothing, Nada, Didley-Squat, Zip, Nothing. There are absolutely no extras on this disc.
FINAL THOUGHTS
Another great Buena Vista Disc. And it's 16:9 enhanced. Get it.
