Kill Bill Vol. 1: DVD Review
by Tanner Rhoden, Team IronLife.com Writer
"Kill Bill Vol. 1" is presented by Miramax in 2.35:1 anamorphic wide screen. The picture quality is very good, but it's a few steps short of superb. Sharpness and detail are just alright in the presentation. Overall it is a very nice presentation, although it comes up a little short of what I was expecting.
The movie is presented in Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1 by Miramax. The film's sound mix has stretches where the majority of the audio takes place within the front speakers. While these dialogue-driven stretches sound terrific, the presentation really does take off during the action sequences, which have sword slices and other sound effects whipping through the rear speakers. Audio quality is terrific.
A 22-minute documentary is the main extra feature. It offers some interviews, promotes the flick and throws out a couple of decent tidbits about the film's influences. Nothing too great. We also get to see some very interesting trailers for Tarantino movies.
"Kill Bill Vol. 1" is lead by a great performance from Uma Thurman that perfectly sets the tone and the style of the movie. While brutal, the action sequences have a real grace to them and the choreography of the major battles is incredible. Also starring are David Carradine, Lucy Liu, Michael Madsen and Sonny Chiba This is clearly a blend of genres and films that Tarantino loves, but he's fused these styles together in a way that's often electric. The DVD doesn't offer much in the way of extras, but presents the film with fine audio/video quality.
