A good news, everyone: Amazon has now carries the newly published original Sakyo Komatsu's 'VIRUS,' has been translated into English on a hard cover book format. Look for and find it in Amazon's literature section or in the recomemdations or the related matterial section at the bottom or above this review section.
Now, this is the point where my original revew begins:
Please DO NOT under rate the movie 'VIRUS' before you watch this DVD. It's an almost completely new movie with much greater in geological, scientifical, and even political aspects of the decade of '80s. For those of you have been deeply disappointed by the erlier, edited, shortened version of the film, now it's the time to fully appriciate the movie.
I really feel relieved when I watched this DVD, which had been professionally prepared from the original Japanese mortion picture released back in 1982 in such a superb quality, knowing this the the way in which everyone of us should have watched. The DVD presentation contains the entire 156 minutes of the original Japanese feature length of the same tittle based on the late famous Japanese Science Fiction writer Mr. Sakyo Komatsu of 'Sinking of Japan' in the late 1970s.
The aspect ratio of the DVD image is the right match of the original movie, as well as the entire original sound track of music scores of Italian composer of Teo Masero. The scerenaries of the Antartica are brathtaking and absolutely beautiful. I believe this is the first comarcially produced movie/drama shot on locationed there, with full cooperation of Chillian Navy submarine: Yes, that sub was a real one! Sound quality was good, too.
Speaking of the music, I must point out the fact that the beautiful and very lyrical original theme song of the movie was written and sung by Janis Ian. Listening into her song alone might bring tears in your eyes. It's that emortional song and music.
I do recomend this DVD to everyone or anyone, especially to whom thought the 'VIRUS' was a less important SciFi movie made with a B- or C-level or less-than-the average production. I asure you that it would give you a whole new impression of the movie. One last note: Please remember this fact that the original novel on which this movie was based, was written about some 40(yes, that's right, fourty) years ago: It was when no one cared or even knew about a biological warfare or the pandemic using or caused by a simple virus. I think it was written even before 'The Andromeda Strain" by Micheal Criton in the late '60s or the early '70s. The entire story and all events were taken place inside of one geneus, a science fiction writer called Sakyo Komatsu.
