- A.G.Classic movie.Killer presentation. Tons of extras. Great movie. Super violent. Movie looks great. Movie still holds up to this day.
- Randy M.Fun MovieRobocop is one of those fun sci-fi/action movies that's a lot of fun for mature adults. There are a couple of scenes, however, that are quite violent and grisly, while many "F-bombs" and other expletives pepper the entire movie, so maybe younger children should be kept away.
In a not-too-distant dystopian future, the huge Omni Consumer Products corporation (OCP) is contracted to run the Detroit police department, which is struggling with rampant crime. What OCP needs are police officers that are indestructible, so they study the possibility of building robots to replace human police officers. When Officer Alex Murphy (Peter Weller) is all but killed in the line of duty, OCP decides to salvage his brain and a few other body parts and combine them with a robotic body to create a cyborg policeman. Murphy, it turns out, has the temperament required to live as a cyborg. OCP also builds another gigantic and purely robotic machine, "ED 209" (Enforcement Droid 209) with devastating firepower, and markets it as an improved, "urban pacification" police robot. OCP's actual intention is to sell ED 209s to the military as super soldiers, but first, ED 209 has to prove itself capable of "pacifying" Detroit.
Robocop Murphy goes after the man who killed him, a drug and criminal kingpin, Clarence Boddicker (Kurtwood Smith), “unofficial crime boss of old Detroit,” who's in cahoots with Dick Jones (Ronny Cox), Senior President of OCP. Since Murphy proves to be a "one-off" (impossible to duplicate) success, OCP upper management wants to kill him off. This is so the military will forget about him and instead consider buying Ed 209s as battlefield soldier droids (a contract worth billions). Eventually, Robocop and an ED 209 have an epic showdown inside the top executive floor of OCP tower. Bullets and missiles fly profusely and indiscriminately.
Robocop is a thoughtful, multifaceted sci-fi/action film that feels like it could actually happen thirty or forty years in the future. I would rate it as one of the best and most influential sci-fi/action films of the 1980s, although it is actually a successful movie franchise that continues up to 2014. Don't forget to bring plenty of popcorn! - 37373635wdbsbCooler than JesusHe is risen great Easter movie.
- SamuelYanoEpic RoboHere's the deal, if you ever claimed to be a fan of the original ROBOCOP, then you have to get the 4K Remastered Edition Bluray that just released. I pre-ordered it for $9 but now the price is about $11 but it's still such a great deal for this release of the film! Let me preface by saying that I watched this film as a kid on VHS and before I became a filmmaker. So watching this (projected on an 8 foot screen) would be my 1st viewing of the film in hi-res and at native 24p (I'll explain how that's important).
The brilliance of the film is that it starts with a video broadcast of the news that is in the low-fidelity of the TV of old. But then it cuts to the full glory or future Detroit (which apparently was shot in Dallas TX) the sharp, sprawling details of the wide angle lenses shooting low angled city skylines is like the current trend of cutting from 35mm film to spectacular 70mm IMAX (like what Nolan did with THE DARK KNIGHT). It's like night vs day, small vs big, TV vs cinema. The 4K output to 1080p HD is excellent and it's as if Verhoeven shot it in IMAX or with that IMAX sensibility of composition (I'm exaggerating a little but it's to make a point).
Now as much as I've always loved ROBOCOP, even as a kid I found the ED-209 stop motion to be a little off-putting - it always looked like a scale model and the motion always looked jittery. But here's where I was surprised the most. At native 24 frames per second and at full HD, ED-209 looks incredibly detailed and menacing. The stop motion is much less distracting than when I watched the film in SD resolution telecined to 29.976 fps. I really think the telecine process is what killed a lot of the model work in ROBOCOP but this Bluray rectifies that. I don't even think a CG ED-209 would be that much of an improvement and that's also because Verhoeven and company utilized a full scale model in many shots. Of course there are a handful of stop motion shots that still don't quite deliver but they're not critical shots in my opinion.
And here's another revelation I had watching this film as a filmmaker. Blanks and Squibs and performance. ROBOCOP is not just a film that used real full flash blanks and real blood-pack squibs, but it's a film that went big with explosives. And you can see this in how the actors really squint - not only when they get hit and a squib explodes, but even when they just shoot a gun the muzzle flashes are so big and sparky and smokey that actors squint and flinch with every trigger pull. That makes a huge performance difference to me when compared to all the digital muzzle flashes and blood hits being added to gunshots these days (and I've done my share of CG gunshots!).
Finally, the sound is decent. The 1st time ED-209 fires his guns they sounded a bit a hollow which worried me. But when Robocop fires his signature 3-burst hand canon, it was nice and bassy and that distinct sound of bad-assery that I remember.
I could go on about the merits of the film itself: the tight writing, the memorable lines, the iconic performances, the timeless visuals. But I enjoy conversing about those details over writing about them. And this Bluray really brings out the best in those conversations. So check it out, enjoy it, then call me - we'll talk then.
Oh and seriously, f*** the remake. - Ronny HazeSteelbook and movie rock!AWESOME PICTURE QUALITY!! The steelbook is also so much better in hand. They used a striped spot gloss pattern that works well! The artwork really grew on me. The movie itself looks and sounds amazing! How high recommend Robocop 2 in 4k no matter what release you get.
