Reviewer's Rating 3 out of 5
The Majestic DVD (2002)

Jim Carrey goes all feelgood in Frank Darabont's "The Majestic", which finds a new home on DVD, after a tepid reception in the cinemas.

TECHNICAL FEATURES

Picture The glowing cinematography transfers to disc with a warm sheen that's certainly pleasant on the eye.

Sound Seeping through the speakers is an atmospheric 5.1 sound mix that effectively encloses you into the heart of the film.

SPECIAL FEATURES

Wandering around the menus of this disc is like finding a house with the lights on but nobody home. Perhaps this movie's failure to strike gold at the box office means no one is willing to do anything special for the DVD release.

There are seven deleted scenes presented without explanation, and a chance to see the five minutes of footage from the "Sand Pirates of the Sahara" film that's shown in the movie, but that's it.
