2.0 out of 5 stars STEER CLEAR OF THIS ONE !!, May 25 2007

This review is from: Cars Unlocked (DVD)

One look at the packaging of this latest "Cars Unlocked" release and fans will think it contains outstanding quality. Well if you're a "Cars" fan like me, you'll be completely disappointed with this DVD/CD release once you open it. The outside packaging looks fantastic but it's the absolute worst idea I have ever seen. The DVD and CD sit inside the 28 page photo booklet and each disc slides into a paper sleeve built into the front & back booklet cover. The packaging for this release is so cheap that the discs were already scratched before I even had a chance to play them. The twenty so called never-before seen live performances are just a collection from various US tours from 1978-1987 and the quality of the sound & video range from average to poor. The Dolby 5.1 sound is inconsistent throughout the DVD and the video transfer isn't much better than a bootleg video. The video transfer is grainy and riddled with all sorts of imperfections and the poor editing and camera work make this DVD even more frustrating to watch. There is a disclaimer regarding the sound and video quality of this release, but you don't see it until you put the disc into your player. Let's be honest if they put the disclaimer on the outside of the package nobody would buy it. This review is strictly my opinion of what I've seen and heard in this DVD release. My advice to "Cars" fans is to steer clear of this one.

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Cars Unlocked (DVD)

I saw this DVD at Sunrise Records in Oshawa (Ontari0) not too long ago. Since I enjoyed the Cars hits, I thought I'd buy it. I was at the cashier's desk and about to plunk down alomst forty bucks for it when I had a change of mind. I put it back and decided to check Amazon reviews first. Thank goodness. Since then, I've heard another copy owned by a friend and found it to be precisely as critqued by the other two good people who took the time to post their opinions here. In fact, they gave more than mere opinions----cold hard facts. I'll find something else by the Cars.

Merci beaucoup

This review is from: Cars Unlocked (DVD)

Maybe I was expecting too much but this DVD/CD set is somewhat of a letdown. First off, about 80% of the CD sounds terrible. Its muddy, real bassy with lots of tape hiss! Like a bad bootleg. Hard to believe this is the best they got "Live". The DVD picture quality is quite bad as well(and has a quality notice at the beginning to warn you) except for the "Door to Door" footage from 87'. I realize the footage is quite old but I've seen cleaner footage from the 50's and 60's.(maybe that sez something for film). The booklet looks cool from the outside until you open it up; the DVD and CD are placed in tight hard-to-access sleeves at the front and back of the booklet and were quite scratched after only pulling them out one time. The pictures are mainly b/w blowups with only a few candid photos ,a couple of out of focus shots(?)and cool partial lyrics throughout. Though the backstage stuff in the DVD was mildly interesting at best(I guess you had to be there) I gave it 2 stars for the music, sound and great song selection.
