Short Circuit

I love Number 5. DVD format is UDF, 2009-01-06
The DVD's picture quality is OK, viewable. You cannot expect much if it's about 25 years old. But be careful, it will not play on Mac or Linux automatically. Installation of additional software or packages on Linux is painful and very often it does not work. It is a proprietary format that plays only on Windows PC's.

Its all about the 80s, 2008-12-13
At the time this movie was released I was 8 years old and I really enjoyed the film. Feeling a little nostalgia I bought the blu-ray version and boy was I disappointed , not by the movie, but the quality of the Blu-ray. This Blu-ray version is 1 notch above VHS quality and thats even debatable. The scene outside with the fog is were you can really see the lack of quality in this movie.

Amazing transition to Blu-Ray, 2008-12-07
Note: This is a review of the Blu-Ray and it's technical aspects, not the film. br / br /You would never know in watching Short Circuit on Blu-Ray that this is a film that is over 20 years old. While the Blu-Ray is not in 1080p (it's in 1080i) the clarity and lack of graininess in the transfer was astounding to me. I have come to expect that older movies that weren't shot digitally and with older film equipment wouldn't see much benefit from the transition to blu-ray, this has me thinking otherwise. There are parts of the film that don't look spectacular, but they are few and far between and overall the movie looks beautiful. If you enjoyed the film, and have a HD setup, this is easily the best way to see Short Circuit. br / br /Specs: Resolution: film 1080i, extras 480i SD br /Audio: film: DTS 5.1, Dolby 5.1 extras: Dolby 2.0 br / br /Special Features: Commentary track w/ writers director br /Isolated Music and effects track br /Original Theatrical Trailer br /Featurette "Creation of Number 5" br /Cast Crew interviews br /Behind the scenes footage br /Promo photo gallery br /Robot and production design still gallery br /

Great as a kid, still is., 2008-11-25
I remember watching this growing up. It is a funny movie with witty comments as well as nerd jokes. Also, not to mention "robots do not feel things, they run programs", well clearly not Johnny 5. br / br /I bought this to show my wife where they came up with the design for WallE (the face) and she thought the movie was going to be stupid but she loved it to and has watched it several times since we got it 2 weeks ago.
