Magnificent
Warriors is a non-stop action-fest featuring Michelle Yeoh. The film is set
during World War II and Michelle is fighting off the Japanese Army which is
trying to occupy a small town in order to build a chemical warfare plant. There
is little if any downtime in this movie. Action fans as well as Michelle Yeoh
fans will want to check this movie out.
The picture quality is great. Though not the quality picture
of a major Hollywood release, this is a really good looking DVD. No dropouts,
speckles or splices to be found. The picture quality was just as good as FULL
CONTACT.
The
sound was the usual 5.1 re-mix. I didn't notice anything special with the sound.
I don't think the rear speakers are used at all. It was mixed well which is
a definite plus. The dialogue was never drowned out by the sound effects.
The sound was synced pretty well with the action on the
screen. I had watched the movie in Cantonese with the English sub-titles. The
sub-titles were also in sync with what was said. These things are usually taken
for granted but there are many DVD's that have bad sub-titles and out of sync
sound.
The
extras are very basic. It has chapter stops, filmogrophies and the trailer
as well as the trailers for two other movies. The menus are pretty well done
but the words are very small and hard to read. I had to get up and stand close
to the TV to read the options.
I really enjoyed this movie and the DVD is really worth
having if you are a Michelle Yeoh fan. Michelle gets a lot of screen time
in this one. This one is highly recommended.
