Blast from the Past
starring:
Brendan Fraser
Alicia Silverstone
Sissy Spacek
Christopher Walken
In the year 1962, A young couple with a baby on the way are having a party when JFK appears on their television screens informing them of the nuclear missiles that the Soviet Union has placed on the "imprisoned island" of Cuba. The man, a right wing conservative, asks all the guests to leave and then he and his wife proceed to their fallout shelter located beneath their house. Just as they enter it, a plane crashes into their back yard and believing that it was a nuclear missile, lock the shelter up for 35 years at which time the radiation fallout will have dissappated. Their son, whom they name Adam is born a few days later. He grows up in the shelter, with his parents schooling him in the ways of the world. In those 35 years the world changed considerably and when Adam finally emerges he finds it much different than what his parents told him. But then he meets a woman named Eve and...
This fish out of water story was thoroughly entertaining. You knew what was going to happen, that Adam and Eve would fall in love, but like most films like this the fun is in the getting there. The movie also makes a point of showing us just how much the world has changed in the last 35 years. Not only in a physical sense but the attitudes and morals of the people that inhabit it. The one thing that hasn't changed and never will is the feelings that engender when two people fall in love.
I didn't notice any flaws in the transfer and the sound won't dissappoint even if there isn't much for the surround speakers to do.
A feel good movie!
