Demolition Man BD

Sylvester Stallone and Wesley Snipes go at it amid a dazzling cyber-future in this explosive hit. In 2032 archcriminal Simon Phoenix (Snipes) awakens from a 35-year deep freeze in CryoPrision to find a serene, non-violent Los Angeles ready for the taking. Unable to deal with Phoenix’s brutal 1990s style, officials seek an old-fashioned cop to fight old-fashioned crime. They revive Sgt. John Spartan (Stallone), unjustly serving a CryoPrison sentence because of his last encounter with Phoenix. Sandra Bullock, Benjamin Bratt and Denis Leary also play rough and tough in this “terrific mix of action and humor” (Joel Siegel, Good Morning America/ABC-TV).

Customer feedback: 4.7/5 average rating.

Customers say: Customers consider this movie a cult classic from the 90s with solid action sequences and comedy elements. Customers find it fun to watch, with one describing it as a "thrill a minute" experience.

Review snippets: Still baffled by how the 3 seashells work. But they pulled out all the stops to put together this 4K set of a pretty under-rated 90's action flick when Stallone was at his full power. Snipes is great as the / Classic movie by Stallone and Snipes. Hilarious! Read more

From the manufacturer Demolition Man A cop is brought out of suspended animation in prison to pursue an old ultra-violent enemy who is loose in a nonviolent future society. Director Brambilla and his DP, Alex Thomson, designed a distinctive look for the bulk of Demolition Man (the chief exceptions being the pre-credit sequence in 1996 and the underground sequence in 2032). Brambilla wanted the pseudo-utopian future society into which John Spartan awakes to look "cosmetic" and interiors like the SAPD station to resemble a Neiman Marcus store. Thomson used slow film stock to minimize grain and shot through special filters that softened the image without losing shadow detail. For exterior scenes, smoke was used both to conceal contemporary scenery in portions of the frame and to change the density and texture of the image. (Brambilla refers to the desired look as "liquid lighting".) As it happens, this look is a good friend to home video. The laserdisc and DVD versions of Demolition Man were among the better-looking examples of each format, in terms of color values, and the DVD was all the more impressive for being an early release. However, the 1080p, AVC-encoded Blu-ray offers major improvements in detail, depth and color differentiation. One is much more aware of the details of Bob Ringwood's futuristic costumes (many of which are mini-jokes unto themselves), or the 20th Century bric-a-brac in Huxley's office and apartment, or just the individual facial expressions in long shots crowded with people at the SAPD or Taco Bell. The improvements are most dramatic in the sequence where
