Pink Floyd - The Wall

Summary: great
Review: i thought that it was one of the most expressive movies i have ever seen. the realism of the human mind is un paralleled in its point of view along with its constant music is one of the greatest misunderstood movies in that a true nervous breakdown is truly rendered from an insiders point of view

Summary: Secret Buttons
Review: Loved the DVD greatly. I have an idea though; has anyone put it into a DVD-ROM drive and try to click on those squares in the corner of the menus? Just curious to see what the secret buttons are about. Please e-mail me at [e-mail] if you have any info on this.

Summary: Nothing Less than Brilliant!
Review: I can't say I agree with the editorial comments; I have to go with the reviewers on this one! I purchased The Wall on LaserDisc back in 1984 and have always been impressed with the quality of the music and the story line itself.

While the story is indeed depressing, it is also brilliant. Watching "the wall" build up around the main character is fascinating to say the least. It's interesting to see what things can cause a man to delve into himself and come out with his own distorted view of reality.

Furthermore, the soundtrack is unequaled in quality and sound. Pink Floyd was, and is, a premier band in terms of talent, sound and uniqueness.

This is a must movie for any true rock fan. Owning he DVD only enhances the experience.

Summary: A must have for Music Fans
Review: This is a must have for all music fans, especially for a fan of the legendary band of Pink Floyd. The sound quality of this DVD is amazing. I found myself hearing things I've never heard before on VHS. DVD is the way to go for this timeless story and biography of the band Pink Floyd.

Summary: Secret Buttons?
Review: Of course this is the best edition to date of The Wall (I think all will agree). I do have one question, were are the "secret buttons" as listed on the back of the package?

Summary: Pink Floyd The Wall on DVD...WOW!
Review: If you a Floyd fan, or a DVD buff...you gotta get this one.....The Wall as the best interactive menus i have seen on a DVD so far. The commentary by Roger Waters and Gerald Scarfe is insightful, and often very amusing. I wont go into great detail about all the other goodies this DVD has to offer....i could rave on forever....JUST BUY IT!

Summary: I see movie reviews, but no DVD tech review so here we go.
Review: Yes, I liked "The Wall", and in my opinion it deserves 5 stars. The DVD is feature packed: 2 music videos, 2 documentaries, several commentaries, a sound calibration section, and of course the theatrical trailer. But there are a few things I didn't like about this disk. The menu system is very simple, and well designed, but the chapter search section lacks any way to determine the contents of any of the chapters. All you get are numbers - no pictures and no titles accompany the numbers. As far as the transfer to DVD - the picture quality is excellent, and the Dolby Digital 5.1 sound is expansive, but the sound is marred by backgound noise (hiss) and distortion in parts of the soundtrack. These problems should have been fixed especially since the music is what inspired the creation of this movie.

Summary: High water mark for DVD (Waters mark?)
Review: It seems we the public enjoy this film more than the filmmakers, judging by their intriguing (and at times silly) commentary, but it's no matter because at least they've treated it with the respect we hoped they would.

The transfer is lovely to behold; sheer perfection. The commentary (Roger Waters and Gerald Scarfe) really is quite entertaining and informative. The sound quality is excellent (although I don't have the proper system to give you a more specific critique of the sound). The documentaries (one old, one new) are fascinating and comprehensive. And the best thing could be the menu design - breathtaking visuals and clever design (it knows when you've accessed a submenu once already, for exaample).

In short, PINK FLOYD THE WALL is a great movie served well by an outstanding DVD presentation.

Summary: A minor let down
Review: IT is a great movie and a worth while buy on DVD, however, Hey You isn't added in the movie but only as an extra feature. Just a warning to those that want to buy the DVD just for that reason
