Story Synopsis:
A super-powerful experimental spy plane is stolen by an evil arms dealer and is about to be handed over to an international terrorist. The U.S. Government drafts an egotistical boxing champion (Murphy) to join a very earnest special agent (Wilson) on a dangerous top-secret mission to get the plane back. Armed with the latest high tech (and not so high tech) spy gadgets, this ultimate odd couple might be able to save the world - that is, if they can just get along! "I Spy" also stars Famke Janssen ("GoldenEye") as an ultra-sexy secret agent who captivates the boys. Based on the 1965-68 television series starring Robert Culp and Bill Cosby. (Suzanne Hodges)
DVD Picture:
The anamorphically enhanced 1.85:1 DVD exhibits a sharp and nicely detailed picture, with excellent contrast and shadow delineation. Color fidelity is remarkable, with accurate fleshtones, vibrant hues, and deep blacks. At times, the picture can have a slightly hard appearance, with edge enhancement noticed at times. Pixelization occasionally breaks up finer details, but otherwise this is a superb visual experience. (Suzanne Hodges)The DVD also includes a modified 1.33:1 (4:3) version (not reviewed).
