About this product

Product Information

Based on the 1960s Japanese-manga-derived animated TV series of the same name, SPEED RACER follows the adventures of the title character (Emile Hirsch), a young race car driver who sits behind the wheel of the lightning-fast Mach 5 vehicle. Aided by his family, which includes Pops Racer (John Goodman) and Mom Racer (Susan Sarandon), and his devoted doe-eyed girlfriend, Trixie (Christina Ricci), Speed racks up victory after victory, but still lives in the shadow of his late older brother, Rex (Scott Porter), who died in a race. When Speed garners the wrath of Royalton Industries, he must team up with the enigmatic Racer X (Matthew Fox) to defeat the ruthless corporation.Written and directed by Larry and Andy Wachowski, the masterminds behind the MATRIX films, SPEED RACER replaces the gritty techno patina of that blockbuster series with a polished, brightly hued virtual reality. Though the eye-popping visuals threaten to eclipse the acting, the fine cast gamely makes the most of their green-screen environment, particularly the likable Hirsch, who won acclaimed for his decidedly different INTO THE WILD role, and LOST's always-noble Fox. Adding to the movie's giddy mood are Paulie Litt and his chimp companion, who provide comic relief as Speed's playful younger brother, Spritle, and Chim Chim, respectively. While definitely a case of style over substance, SPEED RACER is a movie meticulously designed to appeal to families and kids, especially the Spritle-like young ones.

It's about speed and racing.
For being a remake of an old cartoon show it was great, especially if you have never seen those shows before. It is one movie that you have to give your full attention, so that you can understand the whole process. Realize this is a "fun" movie and don't get critical over technical details that deals with breaking the laws of physics. Just have a fun ride.

First Place Winner...but not at the box office.
I must admit that I know, or knew rather, very little about the story or history of Speed Racer- and his TV series - and maybe that is why I enjoyed this movie so much. Although, this is still a different type of situation where one who was a big fan of the shows might be seriously critical of every little detail of the turned movie. I don't believe anyone who considers themselves truly knowledgeable about Tatsuo Yoshida's work can say that this was not represented well on the big screen. I'm now intrigued to go back and check out some episodes of Speed Racer. That aside, as far as it being a movie and a work of art, I would give this movie high marks in both categories.

For it being a movie, it was nice to see something so different as far as the approach to making it go. Also, having such an incredible cast makes it all the more intriguing. I don't see anyone else having portrayed any of these characters any better than the cast that was hired to do so. On an artistic level, it is extremely hard to think of any other movie that comes close to being in the same league. I did not see The Matrix, but I would say that anyone who liked Sin City for its cinematography and graphic elements, would love Speed Racer. The use of bright photography that's added behind a green screen makes for a far more dramatic effect. Take the artistic elements of this movie, and put it together with the amazing cast (both looks and talent) and throw it together with a very different but coherent plot, and you've got yourself an extremely enjoyable movie that is definitely worth seeing. And seeing at the theater no less! My hats off to The Wachowski Brothers, and the rest of the cast and crew for putting together something different for a change.

Amazing hi-def movie
The movie was amazing. The video quality of the blu-ray was in my opinion better than avatar. It was amazing how the cgi technology is so awsum in this movie. Best graphics ever. The movie was also very entertaining. I have 6 blu ray copies of this movie. I also have 6 led 60 inch TV's in one room with 6 blu ray players. I have all disc's playing at the same time all around the room and my room seems to come alive. Note: for most amazing picture, keep your tv on "VIVID" picture mode.The movie was amazing.

What a ride!
Blu-Ray is Amazing! The clarity, in this movie, is beyond anything I've seen thus far on blu-ray, not to say that other blu-ray titles aren't clear or awesome looking, but this just has such a polish to it, maybe it's the cg mixed with live action that made it look so good. Regardless, I had read a lot of bad reviews when this movie came out in theaters. One good review however, mentioned that this is a live action cartoon, and in order to enjoy the movie it's best to go in thinking this way. Seeing how much I enjoyed the original animated show, I turned off my critical thinking, and went in with the mentality mentioned above, and to expect the crazy races, with the unbelievable maneuvering cars, gadgets, weapons, plot, that the original had.

During the movie, I just had a big smile on my face...it was exactly like the original anime, insane, eye popping, gorgeous looking CG, great cast, good story, a real fun movie, and a true love for cars and racing. This movie went beyond what I expected. My hat goes off to the Wachowski Brothers for making a movie about an old, forgotten show, that not many people ever watched. You can tell that they adored, the original material, and honored it by putting it on film.

One of my favorite movies of all time; from the directors of "The Matrix"
I've seen this movie about half a dozen times and still enjoy watching it; there are very few movies I enjoy over and over like this one, "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy and "Gladiator" being two other examples. It is a great family-fun kind of movie filled with laughs, colorful graphics and even a heartfelt motivational story portrayed by a great cast. Enough said.
