Gremlins: Other Editions

Plot Synopsis: When Billy (ZACH GALLIGAN) receives an adorable, mysterious pet named Gizmo (voiced by HOWIE MANDEL) for Christmas from his gadget-creating father (HOYT AXTON), he’s given three rules for its care: Don’t get them Wet. Don’t expose them to bright light. Don’t feed them after midnight. In advertently he breaks the rules, and a resulting army of duplicate furballs wreaks havoc throughout the town. Gremlins was shot using Arriflex 35 IIC cameras on 35mm film. The source for this release was made from the original camera negative which was scanned at 4K resolution and then utilised for the creation of this Ultra HD Blu-ray release. The disc presents a native 4K 3840 x 2160p resolution image in the widescreen 1.85:1 aspect ratio, and uses 10-bit video depth, High Dynamic Range, and is encoded using the HEVC (H.265) codec.

Warner Bros. Home Entertainment’s 4K Ultra HD + Blu-ray + Digital Code of Gremlins gives this comedy classic the best presentation yet possible, showing how top quality hard-media home video blows away compressed video streams.Photo Gallery” (SD) lets you navigate manually, using your remote control. The photos here are comprised of some on-set, some behind-the-scenes, and even some storyboards. There aren’t really many photos but they do prove to be worthwhile. This is one UHD presentation that I had been extremely excited about. There are very noticeable improvements over the unimpressive and outdated Blu-ray from 2009. Fine detail shows vast improvement. Keep in mind that the film is visually fairly reserved with brown, grey, and muted colors for the most part. For collectors like myself, the old disc will become a frisbee. That said – is this UHD impressive on par with the amazing presentations we have seen on newer films or Close Encounters of the Third Kind? Not so much. But fans of the film are going to be excited to finally have a truly quality release of this classic film. Audio: How’s it sound? That being said, it’s perfectly entertaining and the technical, special effects work was pretty top-notch and of course Gizmo himself is a cute furry creature, its near-undetectable speaking voiced by Howie Mandel. The human cast led by Zach Galligan and Phoebe Cates were fine, of course, but the Gremlins (a.k.a. Mogwai) are the stars of this Joe Dante ( Innerspace) helmed film. The movie was shot on 35mm film using the Arriflex 35 lic and Panavision Psr R-200 cameras with spherical lenses, according to IMDb. Note: The screen captures were taken from the Blu-ray disc and do not represent the 4K Ultra HD transfer.

A number of family favourites, cult classics and overseas imports will be taking to the silver screen once again on the the run up to December 25. It begins on December 8 with Diehard and Its a Wonderful Life, with the essential Christmas film being screened every night until December 24.

Gremlins UHD 4K Blu-ray Extras

Clever. Mischievous. Intelligent. Dangerous. – Making Gremlins– this extensive piece is a great retrospective on the film. Additional Scenes – a little over ten minutes of cut scenes from the film. There is an optional commentary by director Joe Dante.

The 5.1 lossless audio mix that is found here comes in a new format (DTS-HD Master Audio) but it really doesn’t seem all that much different than the mix (in Dolby TrueHD) found on the Blu-ray counterpart. I am a bit disappointed they didn’t opt for giving this movie a Dolby Atmos mix, especially considering the original score composed by the late legendary Jerry Goldsmith. choice on the part of the colorist, because it isn't pervasive. In the final scene, for example, Mr. Wing's shop that were previously obscured, and the enchanted small-town world of Bedford Falls—excuse me, Kingston Falls—is more Warner Bros. Home Entertainment provided me with a free copy of the Blu-ray I reviewed in this Blog Post. Seen on a full 4K monitor, the picture pops more strongly than it did in 99% of theatrical screenings — the scan pulls more detail and ‘atmosphere’ out of the film than one would think possible. The added visual and audio detail allows us to examine the clever effects and scan for gags and references we might have missed on earlier viewings. Gremlinsof course has no computer-generated effects. Since most of the fantasy material was filmed live on a set with puppets and mechanical rigs, there are few optical dupes beyond fades and dissolves, and those are so clean they’re difficult to detect.

Randall tells his wife and son “Billy Peltzer” ( Zach Galligan) there are three strict rules he must follow to take care of the Mogwai. The rules include not getting it near bright light, not getting it wet with water, and lastly to never feed it after midnight. Let’s just say one of those rules will be broken and as a result, some not-so-cute or friendly creatures are spawned – referred to as gremlins. These pesky little creatures decide to cause all kinds of mischief all throughout the small town where the Peltzers reside. Along the way, Billy will get some help from his co-worker and obvious crush “Kate” ( Phoebe Cates). The local law enforcement does not prove to be much help and it’s essentially up to these two young adults to save the day.

Every couple of years we hear about a revival or remake of Joe Dante’s Explorers, the wonderful fantasy about junior high schoolers that fly an amusement park capsule into outer space. I hope something happens, just to get Paramount off its duff for a Blu-ray of the original show. So many genre favorites have hit Blu-ray this year, that anything seems possible.
