Last Exile: Complete Series [Blu-ray]

Last Exile: Complete Series [Blu-ray] Review



Imagine a world divided into two warring nations, full of airborne warships, political tangles, and a mysterious riddle that will decide all their fates.

"Last Exile: The Complete Series" is full of all these things, filled with glorious CGI, likable characters and some truly brilliant plot twists near the end. The plot becomes kind of knotted up in the last lap of the series, but it's still a beautifully rendered story about love, friendship and occasionally revenge -- and it's rendered in such beautiful animation that it simply sweeps you away.

Vanship pilot Claus Valca and his buddy Lavie Head are in the middle of a race when they encounter a mystery pilot being chased by a Guild star-ship. His cargo: a little girl named Alvis.

Unfortunately, getting Alvis safely to the rendezvous is no easy task -- especially when the ship picking her up turns out to be the legendary, deadly Silvana. But Claus and Lavie don't want their new friend to be alone and frightened, so they manage to make their way onto the Silvana, and end up becoming part of its crew. Of course, the head vanship pilot Tatiana Wisla isn't too happy about that.

And life aboard the Silvana is anything but boring for the two teenagers. Claus and Lavie take part in a vast vanship race, a battle with the overblown Goliath, a rebellion against the Emperor, and a crash landing in the middle of the desert. And Claus has caught the interest of the whimsical Dio of the Guild -- the younger brother of the cold-hearted, calculating Delphine.

What's more, the Silvana's journey is somehow wrapped up in the mysteries of the Grand Stream, a search for revenge by the Silvana's captain, the secrets of the Mysteria, and the very future of their world. What is Exile, and where will it lead?

"Last Exile" is one of those series that blurs the lines of genre and style -- it feels like a more ethereal brand of steampunk, complete with Victorian trappings and advanced airships. It's full of glowing light, vast expanses of cloads and flowing cities, and beautiful mountainous landscapes and clouds that could have come straight from a Hayao Miyazaki movie. Not to mention some brilliant airborne battles.

The many subplots of the series unspool gradually throughout each episode, twining together as the plot goes on -- such as Alex's vendetta, the plans of the villain Delphine, and the mysterious Grand Stream that seems to be central to the mysteries of Prester. The dialogue is rather run-of-the-mill, but the carefully-drawn world (complete with water shortages and a fictional fuel called "claudia") make up for that, as well as the tangled political clashes that stretch from one episode to the next.

The last few episodes are a bit of a mindbender. The plot becomes a bit tangled up, before twisting into a startling revelation about the world of Prester -- which admittedly, while carefully foreshadowed, is quite a surprise when it's revealed.

Claus and Lavie make a likable pair of protagonists -- he's mellow, sweet and rather laid-back, while she's fiery and easily upset ("This is OUR vanship, and YOU can't touch it!"), so they end up playing well off each other. And the supporting cast is a pretty solid one, with a ride range of personalities and plenty of likable minor characters (like the mechanics). Among the standouts: the melancholy and mysterious Alex Rowe, Alvis, the whimsical and tragic Dio, and vanship pilot Tatiana (who develops a crush on Claus).

"Last Exile: The Complete Series" has a few odd twists, but it's a solid and atmospheric anime series that glides slowly to a rather startling conclusion.

Slayers Revolution: The Complete Fourth Season [Blu-ray]

Slayers Revolution: The Complete Fourth Season [Blu-ray] Review



It's been over a decade since there was a new season of "Slayers," but better late than never. "Slayers Revolution" is a solid first half to the long-awaited fourth season, although it suffers from some wobbles in execution -- not only is it fun to revisit Lina, Gourry and their colorful unruly world, but the writers introduce some clever twists and concepts along the way.

Lina and Gourry have been busy nabbing pirates on the high seas, but they're unexpectedly interrupted by Amelia, Zelgadis, and the Ruvinagald Inspector Wizer, who promptly arrests Lina for "the crime of being Lina Inverse"... and for blowing up some magic tanks with the Dragonslave.

The actual culprit is actually a sort of... flying stuffed bunny thing called Pokota, who can cast almost every spell Lina knows AND has a Sword of Light replica. The gang ends up on the road again, pursuing Pokota and being dogged by Wizer. Of course, they come across new problems on the way -- kidnapped pets, a golem festival, assassins on a ship, and Wizer's attempts to trap Lina in a building full of booby-traps (such as "do not push" buttons).

Pokota also leads the gang into the presumed-lost Taforashia, a ruined city shrouded in mist whose inhabitants are locked in a magical suspended animation... courtesy of the infamous Red Priest Rezo. Unfortunately, a corrupt Ruvinagald marquess and her servants (a ninja, a clockwork robot, and a beastman) are using Taforashia's magical technology to gain power -- and when Lina and her friends try to stop the marquess, a devastating evil is unleashed that could destroy the entire world.

It's a pretty awesome feeling to see the "Slayers" cast in action again, like revisiting old friends whom you haven't seen for a long time. The first few episodes of "Slayers Revolution" are rather weak (seriously, a stuffed toy that can cast the Dragonslave?), only to gain their footing when the Taforashia storyline is woven in. You know what to expect: lots of explosions, arguments, Lina and Gourry gobbling down feasts, and Amelia attacking in the name of justice.

As usual, there's a string of standalone stories interwoven with a solid plot arc, which harkens back to the first season of "Slayers", involving a kingdom locked in a magical barrier, and an elaborate web of lies that lead to a monster being unleashed on the world. There's plenty of hilarious dialogue ("I think it might be edible!"), a hearty dose of comic relief (Gourry's special bond with a jellyfish chimera), and lots of explosive action. The finale is utterly thrilling -- a dramatic three-episode eruption of smashing stones, Dragonslaves, energy blasts, and a giant silver dragon-dog-thing that craves destruction.

Lina is still flat-chested, assertive, hypersensitive and wonderfully bombastic -- and in this one, she encounters someone as crazy and magically-skilled as she is. Gourry is struggling to fight bad guys without a sword that can withstand his strength, Zelgadis has mellowed out somewhat, and Amelia has to grapple with a shocking discovery about her kingdom. And Xellos.... is Xellos. As usual, he's got secrets.And it's worth noting that Funimation (bless 'em) is reuniting almost the entire cast -- Lisa Ortiz, Eric Stuart, Veronica Taylor, and Crispin Freeman. The one change is Michael Sinterklaas as Xellos.

Additionally, Pokota is kind of annoying but gradually becomes likable as we see what drives him, and the tragic past he's trying to correct, while Duclis is the figure of a noble man corrupted by hatred. Wizer seems like an idiot who constantly tries to arrest Lina and impress the ladies, but soon you find that he's almost scarily clever and manipulative. Flan and Zollan are pretty boring, though.

It's not quite revolutionary, but after a bumpy first few episodes "Slayers Revolution" charges along like a runaway magical tank -- and of course, it leaves plot threads dangling for the next half of the season.




Slayers Revolution: The Complete Fourth Season [Blu-ray] Overview


The original cast of Slayers is reunited for the first time in over a decade in Slayers Revolution – a totally new season full of the magical mayhem that can only happen when Lina Inverse and her crew pull into town.

Lina’s on the run from a government inspector who’s ready to put her away for good. Her crime? Just being herself! The guy’s hot on her tail, but a tiny creature that actually has a tail might be Lina’s biggest problem. Pokota’s a powerful little furball, and his path of destruction is getting pinned on Lina. With so much explosive magic between them, you know things will go boom when they face off. But there’s more to Pokota than anyone knows, and if Lina’s gang can get to the bottom of his habit of blowing stuff up, they could end up with an awesome new ally.

The Complete Metropolis [Blu-ray]

The Complete Metropolis [Blu-ray] Review



This new 147-minute version includes an extra 25 minutes of footage, previously thought lost.
The film benefits from being remastered in 1080p and has a DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 soundtrack.
Extras include a 50-minute documentary on the making and restoration of the film and an interview with Paula Felix-Didier who is the curator of Museo del Cine, Buenos Aires, where the missing footage was discovered in 2008.
The restoration took a year and returns the film to the original release version seen by German cinema-goers in 1927.
This release comes in a Limited Edition Collectible 3-D Lenticuar Box Packaging.




The Complete Metropolis [Blu-ray] Overview


Fritz Lang's Metropolis belongs to legend as much as to cinema. It's a milestone of sci-fi and German expressionism. Yet the story makes minimal sense, and the "theme" belongs in a fortune cookie; to experience the film's pagan power, you have to see the movie. But for decades we couldn't, not really--not with so many versions, all incomplete, often in public-domain prints like smudged photocopies. This Murnau Foundation restoration changes all that. Some shots, scenes, and subplots may be lost forever, but intertitles indicate how they fit into the original continuity and the characters' individual trajectories. Most crucially, the images are crisp, vibrant, and three-dimensional instead of murky and flattened. The composite sequences (the Tower of Babel, a sea of lusting eyes) have been restored to their hallucinatory ferocity. And there's one moment when you can see a bead of sweat roll down a man's cheek--in medium long-shot. --Richard T. Jameson

Heroic Age: The Complete Series [Blu-ray]

Heroic Age: The Complete Series [Blu-ray] Review



Overall, this is a wonderful series which combines similar ideas from other anime series' such as Guyver, Gundam, and Evangelion, as well as throwing Greek/Roman Mythology and Sci-Fi elements like those of Star Wars into the mix as well. Character designs are good, and the American voice acting is quite convincing 90% of the time.

My only complaints are that sometimes, the voice acting becomes over the top, and usually annoying. Examples include that of the Princess Dhianeila constantly crying for no reason. I mean, yes, I understood why she was crying half the time, but the rest of the time I swear, she just started crying out of no where. Other annoying voice acting complaints are for that of Dhianeila's brothers. They're convincing a lot of the time, and tend to seem quite evil, but then when things go wrong they becoming whiny and extremely irritating. Aside from some voice acting/character complaints, the only other major complaint that I have is that I counted quite a few animations that were rehashed over and over through out the series, making the animation quality seem somewhat lazy. The 3D animation of ships is nice too in most spots, and successfully makes it look hand drawn. Sometimes though, the 3D animations can seem a bit cheap, and look like something in a cell shaded anime video game (basically it just doesn't seem to mesh well with the rest of the drawn animations). Some character designs are also a bit annoying. At times some of the characters seem disturbingly skinny, as if they were all bone and had no muscle or fat. Another character flaw is that for one of the Silver Tribe leaders and that of Lt. General Nilval. Both seem to go around with with half of their boobs hanging out of their clothes, and in Nilval's case with her cape tacs (I say tacs but they look like spikes) placed awkwardly on her clothes where her nipples should be, as if trying to say "Hey, I have huge boobs, so I'll tease you and show you half of them, and make it look like I have metal spikes for nipples."

Again, overall this series is quite good, but a few reoccurring issues keep this from being as good as it could be.




Heroic Age: The Complete Series [Blu-ray] Overview

CSI: Crime Scene Investigation: The Complete First Season [Blu-ray]

CSI: Crime Scene Investigation: The Complete First Season [Blu-ray] Review



I delayed purchasing this title on Blu-ray for two reasons - waiting to see if it would be released in the UK as a region B or region free issue and concern about the many reviews criticising the video and sound quality.

In the end, I gave up waiting for a UK release and chose to ignore the negative reviews and judge for myself.

All I can say is that both video and sound quality are very good. I can only assume that those who criticise this Blu-ray title either have deficiencies with their home cinema equipment or have very unrealistic expectations.

Using a Pioneer BDP-LX71 Blu-ray player connected to a Pioneer PDP-LX5090 50 inch 1080p plasma the picture is sharp, with excellent black depth and detail. Grain was very rarely visible and the whole transfer is impressive when compared to the DVD release which I also have. It's widescreen too. The picture is more grainy than some of the best Blu-ray releases when paused however.

With the HD soundtrack playing through a Dali Helicon 5 channel speaker set-up via Primare electronics, I never thought it was anything other than excellent. I never noticed the problem of unclear voices reported by some others.

Another notable plus is the packaging. The five discs, all of which are easily individually accessible, are accommodated within a standard size and thickness Blu-ray case. Why can't all box sets be packaged this way?

The one big negative is the advertisement for the Star Trek Blu-ray release at the start of the first disc - this appears to disable all player transport functions to defeat any attempt to skip or fast forward through it. Extremely annoying!

AND.....WHY IS IT REGION CODED AND NOT REGION FREE???? I WOULD LOVE TO KNOW THE JUSTIFICATION.




CSI: Crime Scene Investigation: The Complete First Season [Blu-ray] Overview


CSI: Crime Scene Investigation is a fast-paced drama about a passionate team of forensic investigators trained to solve crimes the old-fashioned way - by examining the evidence. CSI: Crime Scene Investigation is on the case 24-7, scouring the scene, collecting the irrefutable evidence and finding the missing pieces that will solve the mystery.

Lost: The Complete First Season [Blu-ray]

Lost: The Complete First Season [Blu-ray] Review



From the first episode of LOST I was hooked. The cliffhanger kept me begging for more. That's a drive that is still going strong waiting for the final season this January. The first season is my favorite just because there is so much mystery. Nothing is known of these characters when they crash, but you quickly bond with them and began to understand what makes them tick. There are flashbacks in every episode that helps fill in the backstory of each character. The island is a mystery that you and the survivors attempt to figure out. There are tons of plot twists and mysteries to keep you on the edge of your seat. LOST is filled with mystery, drama, comedy, and suspense. There are tons of characters that help develope the plot. As they try to investigate the island you attempt to figure them out. LOST is the best show on TV. The writting never stops to amaze and shock you. The cast never misses a beat either. They are on top of their game at all times. If you haven't seen LOST pick this blu ray up today you won't be disappointed. This show stabs you in the jugular and doesn't let go.

Also the blu ray looks amazing. LOST is shot digitally and is the best looking show on Blu Ray. I had the first season prior to this on DVD, and I still am going to pick up the entire series on Blu Ray next year. This is a great series that has the best writting staff and cast on TV. Don't miss this saga. Every adventure has a beginning don't miss it.
