Customer Reviews of Iceman / Movie

This is a Pan and Scan Version
Though an excellent film, the release only in a reduced-screen, pan and scan, version is abominable. <
>I want what any good film collector wants: the release of this fine film in its original 2.35:1 widescreen aspect ratio. <
>When will the movie producers realize that people who buy DVD films are collectors and don't want to see the films in the "edited" 1.33:1 versions? <

Great movie, disappointing DVD
I saw this movie in the theatre when it came out - I was sent to see it for an Anthropology class and then returned two more times to see it again because it was so good. A wonderful film, touching and well acted by the main characters. I've remembered it for 20 years. <

>It's hard to believe, though, that it's not being issued in widescreen. What is this, converted from the VHS? I don't care if there aren't extras, but widescreen is sort of basic these days, don't you think?

A very touching movie.....
When I first saw "Iceman" about 20 years ago, I was touched and cried about the ending. But at that time, I did not understand the deeper message the director was trying to convey to the viewers. When I watched it again, the message hit me like a ton of bricks! <

>This movie shows us the attitude of human behaviour when Man receives additional knowledge about his past origins. The way the prehistoric man was treated by the "cold-hearted" scientists shows us that a little knowledge is a dangerous thing for immature people. It is like giving matches to a child and expecting the kid to be safe with it. Humanity has progressed in the scientific field but when it comes to moral behaviour, we are primitive in this aspect. (A good example is the countless of wars being fought with the use of destructive weapons over the last century alone) <

>In short, the reason why I gave this movie a 4 star rating is because there are virtually no extra features of this DVD. There is no commentary by the director or the actors. Anyway, the acting was top-class and I feel that this is one of the most under-rated movies in the 1980's.
