Samurai Jack - The Premiere Movie

I recently was flipping through the channel and captured (no captivated) by the Samurai Jack Cartoon on The Cartoon Network. The style was nothing short of mesmerizing, amazing, and (insert another thousand adjectives here). While talking with another fan of the series where I worked, I jumped online to see if there was a Boxset of the season or anything else. I came across this and just by looking at the technical specifications was cautious, but ordered it any (speed shipping in fact). I popped it in the DVD Player the very first chance I got. I WAS BLOWN AWAY. For the duration of the 70 minute feature, I was paralyzed. I watched in awe as the style and story sucked me in. The art was amazing despite the simple look and very well directed. When the story took the step into the future, I saw how original this series was and how creative the makers truely were. It was Akira Kurisawa meets The Fifth Element. The one aspect of the disc that I was the most impressed with was the superb sound design. The Dolby Digital 5.1 soundtrack rivals some of the best sounding DVD I have in my collection. The score entrances. The Ambient sounds sweeps from speaker to speaker as the camera weaves in and out of the action. The noise reduction adds a ton (literally) of tension in the quite moments before the nothing short of epic battle sequences. For the price, you have to get this DVD if you're a fan or not. If you've never seen the show, trust me in saying it's worth the buy. If you're young or young at heart, it will carry you away. If you're a fan of Stylized directing, it will inspire you. Everyone should enjoy this DVD.

Samurai Jack is pure, cartoon action goodness. Very much an experimental work, it blends elements from Hollywood cinema, Japanese sword films, and classic animation into a seamless whole. There is literally nothing else quite like it out there. As another reviewer commented, Samurai Jack is the very reason why we have animation. The DVD format really shows the quality in this program. Many times, one is struck by the simple beauty of the animation used in this series, especially the backround images. And the sound design on the program is some the best two-channel sound design I have heard. The fantastic music and directional sound effects really underline the ambiance of this program. If you have a Pro-Logic or Pro-Logic II receiver, you are in for a real aureal treat with this disc. In addition to the premiere movie on this disc, you also get one of the best episodes of the ongoing series, Jack and the Scottsman! In short, if you enjoy the art of animation, this is a must-have DVD.

Classic good vs evil, jack is stoic disciplined and honor bound to defeat Aku. Along the way Jack meets a Scottish fighter and after a prolonged fight sequence learns that they both fight against Aku and therefore respect each other as well as their mutual respect for the others fighting skill. This is a wonderful premiere movie and introduces the main characters very well. I enjoyed it.

I love the animation, the actions, the marvelous array of colors, and the stories. Though violent, Jack does prevail against impossible odds in his rightious quest to return to his own time and to defeat the evil Acu. In addition to the Movie, I have also acquired all four TV seasons of Samurai Jack.

I love it. To watch movies.

Best Samurai Jack movie episode

My title says it all. This is one of the most original shows to come out in a long time. The mix of mythology, science fiction, sword play, as well as the unique animation style and wide screen/split screen presentation make every episode an enjoyable experience. Genndy Tartartkovsky has surpassed all of his work with this show. As the DVD has not been released, I don't own this item yet, but I will be receiving it as soon as it is released, if for nothing but the bonus episode. Any fan of anime, classic Tex Avery/Bob Clampett/Chuck Jones animation, fantasy, sci-fi, and/or martial arts should do themselves a favor and pick this DVD up!

If you want the full experience of witnessing jack's origin and the beginning of his quest then buy this! The first three episodes just aren't the same split apart, And with the new season coming out next year this is the perfect way to introduce new viewers, In fact I plan on buying this again to give as a birthday present to my youngest cousin I'm sure he'll be thrilled to see it again

カートゥーンネットワークで放映されたサムライジャック。 日本のアマゾンではDVDが販売されていなかったのでVHSを買いましたよ。 頼むよ、リージョンコードが違うので、アメリカ版DVDは歯が立たないので 邦訳版を出して欲しい、買うからさ。 それはともかく、いわゆる勘違い日本観に基づいて、和風ファンタジー世界で 活躍するサムライジャックの話なのですが、これが案外と楽しい、真面目に。 セリフ少なめで乏しい語学力でも楽に理解できるのもですが、ちょっと間違った 時代劇としてみれば、ジャックの風貌も往年の時代劇スターを思わせますよ！ 敵はアクゥ（悪？）、時間トリップファンタジーものですが、ロードムービー風でも あるかなあ？彷徨うジャックが元の世界に戻る道を模索しながら旅をするのです。 お勧めなので、だから邦訳版DVDを出して欲しい。

Easily one of the best – if not THE best – cartoons on TV at the moment (it's broadcast on the Cartoon Networks Toonami Channel). These shows are 20 minutes of perfection: great storytelling, beautiful visuals and they work on more than one level. The pilot is great, although the shows improve (both in animation and depth) as the series progresses. Hopefully Warner Bros. will bring out season box sets.
