## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ brilliant fun for the whole family
*by R***E on 5 August 2012*

Having seen this on one of the movie channels a year or so ago i decided to buy it @ under a fiver on blu ray i felt it was a bargain. The story as many reviewers before me have pointed out is a pretty straight forward well worn one and does work well.However the main reason for buying this was not to re watch it at my leisure but thanks to the amazing colours & eyepopping visuals that take place during the races,show how amazing high definition films can truly be.I have several friends who are still on the fence regarding blu-ray & the whole HD Debate & i find the best way to showcase the quality that HD can truly capture is encapsulated in the film speed racer. The Watchowski brothers (now known as the watchowski siblings as one of them is currently aiming to go through gender re-assignment proceedure)are masters in pushing the CGI & visual effect envelope as with the blu ray box set of the matrix trilogy which also shows off to a lesser level the wonders of HD speed racer with its Fully CGI Raceways & the explosions of colour from carribean sea blue to sickly Candy cane pink & the million colours in between really turns the OTT Meter up to 11!!Thats not to take anything away from the film 4 stars for that but thanks to the full use it makes of the HD format it knocks it up to a full 5!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Simply incredible...two words....'buy it'!
*by N***K on 9 November 2009*

I'll keep this review simple - this blu-ray is easily the best piece of visual entertainment I have ever seen and you have to buy it!Whilst the story is relatively predictible, it is the way it was told that makes this an absolute must have for any blu-ray/hd tv owner. It comes across as more of a piece of moving visual art rather than a movie. Borrowing heavily from the SpeedRacer comic book, the colour in this movie simply has to be seen to be believed - everything is pumped up to the max and looks incredible.The racing itself looks stunning and it fizzes along so quickly you miss so much of it. I bought this disc because I reckoned it would look amazing in HD and it certainly does. The depth of the image is awesome and the backdrops look 3d.This is premium grade demo disc material for showing off your high-def rig to family and friends...don't hesitate, buy it today and enjoy!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Vibrant, Underrated Visual Masterpiece
*by C***Y on 1 December 2024*

Speed Racer is a dazzling explosion of color, energy, and heart that captures the spirit of the classic anime while delivering a wholly unique cinematic experience. Directed by the Wachowskis, this film is an unapologetically bold and innovative take on the world of high-octane racing, blending live action with hyper-stylized CGI to create a visual feast.Emile Hirsch shines as Speed Racer, perfectly portraying the passion and determination of a young racer driven by love for his family and his craft. Christina Ricci’s Trixie is charming and supportive, while John Goodman and Susan Sarandon add warmth as Speed’s devoted parents. Matthew Fox's mysterious and brooding Racer X provides a strong foil to Speed’s idealism.The film’s storytelling is straightforward yet emotionally resonant, anchored by themes of family, loyalty, and integrity in the face of corruption. The racing sequences are jaw-dropping, with their kaleidoscopic visuals and gravity-defying action that feel like an adrenaline-fueled video game brought to life.The Blu-ray release amplifies the film’s vibrant aesthetic, delivering stunning picture quality and immersive sound that make every race track and high-speed turn leap off the screen. The extras offer great behind-the-scenes features that showcase the groundbreaking technology and creativity behind the film.Speed Racer may not have been a box-office hit, but it’s a cult classic in the making, perfect for fans of visually stunning films and anyone seeking a fun, heartfelt ride. Don’t underestimate this gem—it’s a thrill from start to finish! Highly recommended.
