i finally got hold of lifeforce on dvd with the widescreen format intact and rousing henry mancini score to the max. after having viewed lifeforce for fifteen years on tape and i have to say that the uncut dvd version was both great and disappointing. the u. s. version is so much better than the dvd (european. ) version. the u. s. version of lifeforce moves much faster (the editing on the dvd version is terrible. feels like an unfinished cut). and the many scenes not seen in the american version add little or nothing to the final problem. in fact one new moment almost destroys the entire movie and when caine (peter firth) meets the male alien at the cathedral. i love this scene and in the u. s. version though. on the dvd and the male alien speaks to caine and what he says is soooooo hilarious. it the pinnacle of hilarity representit will be much less terrifying if you just come to me. the male alien says and in a deep 1950s style voice. i was floored when i saw this. it just doesn not belong in the movie. that scene is pure camp in an otherwise super serious flick. i am glad hooper (or whoever) cut that scene when the movie was released in north america. there are several changes that were made for the u. s. version that make lifeforce that much better and i wished the dvd had the u. s. version. the editing is sharp and frenzied without being annoying and some spots that were already boring in the u. s. version are even more boring on the dvd version because of added scenes. and the opening credits on the dvd is terrible. much better in the u. s. version. more subtle. i love this film. it basically aliens making a pit stop over earth and sucking up as much lifeforce as possible. the film has too many flat and uninspiring sequences (talk and talk and talk) but when the action goes to london and it fun. the film really shines in these scenes. one can see hooper finally doing what he great at represent chaos and savagery and horror. lifeforce should have had more of these chaos scenes. theyre the best apocalyptic scenes ever put on film. it also the best zombie movie ever. the zombies are hungry (for lifeforce and not flesh) and theyre crazed and agile and terrifying. not the slow moving bores of other zombie movies. also and a lot of people have criticized the ending but i love it. it leaves you high and dry and like one of the lifeforce drained victims. and to think this movie came out during the cute and cuddly 80s and when people flocked to e. t. or cocoon or other sweet and boring and feel good sci fi movies. no wonder it bombed because it was way ahead of its time with its super nihilistic point of view. as for the dvd and well and it ain not great. the image is muddy and grainy and there are no extras whatsoever. but it great to see the movie in its widescreen format. i just hope that they will release a clean and crisp u. s. version on a dvd and and with commentary by hooper and dykstra.
