Story Synopsis:
Forever Young is a magical story that the whole family can enjoy. It is the romantic adventure of Daniel McCormick (Mel Gibson), a daredevil test pilot, flying B-25s in 1939. He has found the love of his life (Isabel Glasser) who is tragically taken from him in an accident. To ease his sorrow he volunteers for a top-secret, cryogenics experiment his long-time pal and confident (George Wendt) is conducting. He is awakened in 1992 to find himself lost and out of step. The two young boys who discover him and one boy’s mother, (Jamie Lee Curtis), help him as he gets one more chance for true love.
LaserDisc Picture:
The picture is generally sharp and noise-free but a little oversaturated, and a little reddish-orange in scenes. The aspect ratio measures 1.90:1.
LaserDisc Soundtrack:
The sound is excellent with good stereo definition and appropriate surround effects for a generally enveloping sound field especially during the last scenes of the movie. The music, composed and conducted by Jerry Goldsmith, is very nice and adds to the romantic feeling of the film.
