Here is what people are saying about the The Fly
 "Picture a bit soft, effects still pretty amazing" | 2009-09-11 |

| I just watched this on my 42" Panasonic Plasma and BD35 Player. It was not the sharpest picture, but I'd say a 3.5/5 for PQ and 4/5 for AQ. The storyline, Jeff Goldblum and Gina Davis were great. The creature effects matched Jeff's eccentric personality well, and were a mix of funny, but still rather groundbreaking in the grand scheme of things. I can't say I'd buy this disc (mine came free with an early adopter BD promo in '07), but I definitely recommend you viewing it if you're a fan of the director,or actors, and like this type of flick. It still stands up! |

| An old film that I always liked and wanted to experience it in Blu-ray. Still one of my favorites. |

David Cronenberg took the same approach as John Carpenter did with his remake of "The Thing"; he created a film that is every bit as unique as the original film returning to the themes that interested him. The screenplay by Charles Edward Pogue and Cronenberg focuses on Seth Brundle (Jeff Goldbloom) who creates a device to teleport things but he's failed at teleporting humans. Science writer Ronnie (Gena Davis) chronicles his attempt to figure out why he can't transport humans. He licks the problem and foolishly decides to make himself the first human test subject. When a fly accidently gets into the telepod, the computer combines the DNA of Seth and the fly creating a bizarre hybrid in the process.
The blu-ray looks good but not as brilliant as I had hoped. Keep in mind that the source is over 21 years old. The fly does look better than the DVD with a sharper image, better depth and detail but it doesn't look as good as a more recent film. Make no mistake though it IS an improvement but it's incremental not a huge leap.
We get all the extras from the previous two disc edition including the excellent documentary on the making of the movie. The new extras here include a swat the fly game (which like the annoying "Build a Gort" a game on "The Day the Earth Stood Still" is a waste of resources). We also get a good trivia track and blu-ray search index. All the other extras including the commentary tracks and featurettes are ported over from the regular DVD.
While the Blu-ray transfer here isn't a huge leap compared to the DVD (I suspect the previous high def remaster that was prepared for the DVD reissue forms the basis for this version), it does look better than the DVD. It's a pity that Fox didn't elect to do an upgraded high def transfer but what we do get looks quite good. The film which came out during the beginning of the AIDS epidemic was seen as a metaphor for that outbreak the film manages to touch on a number of common themes in Cronenberg's work. It's a terrific film that manages to be creepy, humorous and touching. I'd give the film five stars, the transfer three and the extras four. |

This movie is the pinnacle of what science fiction in film should be -it's emotional, thought provoking, gut wrenching, and awe inspiring.
Jeff Goldblum is magnificent in this film. The FX are the initial draw, but the characters are so well drawn and the film so expertly acted, that you, the veiwer, almost believe that that a man could really be undergoing a transformation into a fly. Try watching the "Insect politics" scene- a truly brillant bit of film making- and not being horrified and saddened that the characters in the film are suffering through such an ordeal.
This film represents Cronenberg at his hieght as a director. The scripting is tight and skillful and the makeup and animatronics on display are as enthralling as any current CGI-relient blockbuster's FX. This film proves that a slavish devotion to realism is not needed in order to make veiwers emotionally connect with a film. All that is needed are a skilled set of filmmakers coming together to make a film that matters... and a bit of luck doesn't hurt either. Watch this movie. Own this movie. And love this movie as I do. You want regret it. |

| This is a great version of this movie. Jeff Goldblum is a scientist who builds a machine that he says can teleport things from here to there. To test it, he uses himself. By accident, there is a fly in the machine too, and so he and the fly merge into one being. Geena Davis is his journalist girlfriend, and as he changes into this combination human-fly, she is more and more grossed-out by how icky he gets. Understandably. Because he really does get icky in this movie. Hideous is not a strong enough word. Jeff Goldblum is absolutely fantastic in this movie. Special effects are very good. I highly recommend this movie. |
