Customer Rating: Summary: phenominal Comment: I really enjoyed the movie even though some of my friends did not. It was very different and enjoyable
Customer Rating: Summary: WONDERFUL FILM Comment: This movie is a special piece all the way. Travolta shines - and the chemistry is perfect in all other characters. If you read about spiritual light and sound in Paul Twitchell's The Flute of God (!!!), you have an even better handle on the depth of this movie! Movie and book can expand what you are . . . if it's your time.
Customer Rating: Summary: Travolta's Best Comment: I love this movie. It will always be part of my permanent collection for its timeless brilliance and beauty. I know that at times it can be a bit sappy or outdated as some have mentioned, but I have watched this movie dozens of times and have yet to be disappointed. It is interesting, thought provoking, romantic and emotional. I hope you enjoy it as much as I have.
Customer Rating: Summary: Suprisingly Good Comment: When i bought this movie, I really did not know what to expect. I had been told it was a good movie, and that is all i had to go on. In the simplest terms, it is a great movie, although just shy of the five out of five mark. I consider this one of John Travolta's best performances. There was enough humour to keep me satisfied but it did not draw away from the drama of the movie. I urge you to watch this movie... you want regret it.
Customer Rating: Summary: Phenomenon Review Comment: Phenomenon is a pleasant film with fine acting (particularly John Travolta and Robert Duvall), beautiful setting and photography, and nice score by Thomas Newman. Unfortunately, the 2.35:1 widescreen DVD is not enhanced for 16:9 TVs, which makes it a real shame.
