Review - SciFi.com’s Drive-In (Web)
THE SCIFI.COM DRIVE-IN [NR]
Sometimes, nothing is better than something, as SciFi.com has proven with their slapdash collection of public domain movies at www.SciFi.com/DriveIn. The original sci-fi movie — 1902’s Voyage To The Moon by Georges Méliès — is presented without English title cards, and instead comes with an awkward narration…in French. Fritz Lang’s film school staple, Metropolis (1927), is also a fright to look at, and even the most hypercritical fans of it will prefer the 1984 version with the Giorgio Moroder score (rent the amazing Kino restoration instead). The website interface is pretty nifty, but the content seems to be a cheap afterthought. Delivering the channel’s content with this broadband concept would be nice, not that anyone really wants to watch Hammerhead: Shark Frenzy in any format. –Robert Newton
