 Buy this movie. April 14, 2009
1 out of 3 found this review helpful
One of the greatest films of all-time. Blu-ray version makes is that much better with a flawless picture and amazing revisions to the soundtrack. Even if you don't like anime or animated films, you should still buy this movie for its contributions to film and it's enthralling story.
Great remaster of the original classic. Terrible presentation and extras April 14, 2009

Visually and audibly this is the best Akira you can get. However presentation wise the special edition DVD release that came out a while back blows it away, as it has a barren menu with little extras and a boring static splash page. The movie deserves five stars but I wacked one off for presentation.
(Almost) definitive version of the classic April 14, 2009
1 out of 3 found this review helpful
This is a great release, especially for the audiophile, and a great transfer, true to original theatrical releases, with grain, muted colours and vibrant tones mixed, and truly a must for fans of the film. The only missing piece that would have made this the definitive version for me, were some of the extras from the Pioneer DVD version. Having said that, for me, Blu-ray is about THE BEST vision and sound, and THAT is what keep bringing me back to a BD for repeated viewing. I would rather the PCM Uncompressed soundtracks than gimmicks.
