It may have taken a small eternity, but the wait is over and the original Star Wars Return of the Ewok makes its DVD release debut courtesy of OCPMOVIE and as a extra the DVD is filled with bonus materials.
Expectations for this release ran high. So, I was eager to find out how the DVD set would satisfy my expectations.
This is a reconstruction of the original version with a combination of the hyperspace footage intergrated with a grainy yet very well restored version of the film. This is not the shortened version on STARWARS.COM. The true fans like us deserve better and OCPMOVIE delivers the goods.
I’ve been following OCPMOVIES for a few months now and quite frankly, I am impressed.
Overall the film exhibits a much stronger resemblance to what we are missing in poking fun and having fun. Frankly, I can't remember the last time a film was released that was from the heart such as this film.
On the presentation side, the DVD version is nothing but simply jaw-dropping. I can guarantee that you have never seen this movie short like this before, ever. The image quality is phenomenal for what was available with a razor sharp image that holds a level of detail even in transition with the original short print. Every single frame of this movie had to have been cleaned up to remove specks of dust or grain. As I watched I was feeling the pain of how much effort was put into every single frame. The result is an image that rivals most high end VHS recordings.
The thing that amazed me the most is the amazing level of detail and sharp editing the presentation, making the viewing simply and utterly breath-taking.
On the audio side things are equally very good considering the source. With aggressive seamless sound usage, the tracks are as identical kinetic as the movie it self. I could not tell the differnece between the two sources. No matter how well you know about this release I am sure you will still be able to hear things here you have not heard anywhere before.
You will also be treated to a good selection of special features as well as a beautiful title menu that is very cool. Infact, the menu was easy to navigate which was great for people such as my father who is sort of old school on all this DVD stuff. ie: "Do I hit where it say's play movie", laugh out loud!
The vision, of the one who would take this simple movie short and restore it to whats released is awesome.
Once again, OCPMOVIE delivers the goods in serving up a release like this.
This is "Return of the Ewok as it was meant to be seen and I am glad I had the opportunity and the privilege of that experience.
Once again, outstanding work.
The Return of the Ewok Disc was awesome
As soon as I recieve the final print of OCP Releases Classic Edition I will be in heaven because if it was anything like this I am in for a treat.
Peace
