Be Warned… It's Alive!
Kenneth Branagh leads an all-star cast including Robert De Niro, Helena Bonham Carter, Tom Hulce, Ian Holm, John Cleese and Aidan Quinn in his definitive cinematic version of Mary Shelley's classic tale of gothic terror.
At the turn of the 19th century, visionary scientist Victor Frankenstein (Kenneth Branagh) embarks on an obsessive quest to conquer the mysteries of human mortality. But his hubristic bid to create life out of death goes hideously wrong, and succeeds only in begetting a deformed monster (Robert De Niro).
Horrified by what he has wrought, the scientist attempts to destroy his creation, but fails. Rejected by his creator and shunned by the world of man, the tormented creature swears vengeance against Frankenstein and his family. As the monster begins to enact his murderous revenge, Victor must face a terrible reckoning with the tragic consequences of attempting to play God.
Mary Shelley's seminal novel is one of the most adapted books of all time, and this retelling faithfully goes back to the original source, lushly transforming the story's twin themes of love and death into a darkly operatic gothic romance.
Unlike many versions of Shelley's novel, Branagh's adaptation understands that Frankenstein's misbegotten creation is as pitiable as he is monstrous, and never loses sight of the human tragedy lying at the core of its horrific tale. Filled with sweeping, atmospheric visuals and powerfully emotional performances from an award-winning ensemble of acting talent, Mary Shelley's Frankenstein stands as a landmark interpretation of this enduring masterpiece.

Underrated & Over The Top
'Een significante upgrade over de eerdere Sony uitgave' Nadat Bram Stoker's Dracula een succes werd ging Francis Ford Coppola eens shoppen met zijn Frankenstein project. Daar kwam hij Kenneth Branagh tegen en gaf hem de leiding over dit project. Daar zou hij later wat spijt van krijgen gezien de ruzies die Branagh had met Coppola en screenwriter Darabont. Desondanks werd dit een film die ontzettend goed past bij de eerder genoemde Dracula adaptatie. De film staat wellicht bekend dat deze soms wat over-the-top is en vooral ook wel wat 'catered' aan de ijdelheid van de regisseur die zichzelf maar al te graag laat zien in deze film. Van de vele adaptaties van het klassieke verhaal is dit wellicht de meest getrouwe versie. Toch is deze film door de critici van toen niet heel goed ontvangen met gemiddelde scores. De tijd is goed geweest voor deze film en er wordt nu beter op terug gekeken dan eerder. De disc zelf is een goede upgrade voor iedereen die de eerdere Sony uitgave had. Arrow heeft een prima scan gemaakt van de originele negatieven en men heeft op plekken wat opgepoetst, wat niet altijd iedereen mooi vindt, maar camera wobble en dergelijke zijn bijna absent. Voor een film die eigenlijk bijna alleen maar aardetinten heeft ziet het er op deze 4K echt fantastisch uit in geweldig detail. Ik ben er blij mee, nu nog even die Bram Stoker's Dracula op 4K meepakken.
