If you don't think Speed is the fastest-moving adventure film ever made, we challenge you to find a faster one. Keanu Reeves stars as an LA Bomb Squad specialist whose principal antagonist is elusive bomber-extortionist Dennis Hopper. Seeking vengeance after his latest ransom scheme is thwarted, Hopper presents a personal challenge to Reeves: A wired-for-destruction city bus, which will detonate if the speedometer drops below 50 MPH. Playing the reluctant civilian who is pressed into service as the bus' "substitute driver," leading lady Sandra Bullock became a major star in her own right. Once Speed gets to the meat of its story, the excitement never lets up--not even after the boobytrapped bus is out of the picture.
I have always enjoyed this movie, always paused to watch it when I found it on the television so I decided to add it to my own collection. Happy I did.
Eric Darnell and Tim Johnson's CGI release Antz gets a fantastic DVD release from Dreamworks. The disc contains a widescreen anamorphic transfer that preserves the original theatrical aspect ratio of 1.85:1. A closed-captioned English soundtrack is rendered in Dolby Digital 5.1. There are no subtitles on this release. The educational supplemental materials include an audio commentary track by the two directors, a behind-the-scenes featurette, a documentary look at the creation of CGI images, and a theatrical trailer. This superb disc will please every member of the family and illuminate modern animation techniques for those interested in learning how this particular kind of movie magic is made.
