    I must admit, I've only seen this film twice, and I'm very impressed, good story, excellent talent, awesome soundtrack which includes 2 great tracks by the star of the movie Michael Jackson-the songs are: 'We Are Here To Change The World' and 'Another Part Of Me' which adds a pea...( read more)ceful colour to the movie , and it's fun to enjoy and watch.

    Captain EO made full use of its 3-D effects. The action on the screen extended into the audience, including lasers, laser impacts, smoke effects, and star fields that filled the theatre. These effects resulted in the seventeen-minute film costing an estimated $17 to $30 million dollars to produce. At the time it was the most expensive film ever produced on a per-minute basis

    This should be released on DVD, the movie's popularity is HUGE, so why not is it available to purchase on DVD, it'll make a lot of money! And Michael Jackson, will be very pleased and happy!

The song wasn...( read more)'t very memorable. I want this on DVD so I can analyze the madness.

    Decent flick, produced by George Lucas.

    This was the first 3-D film I ever saw. I remember being pissed though, because the theater at Disneyworld cheated. They shot actual laser beams and bright lights at the audience. Plus, Michael Jackson is a freak.

    In 3D its worth watching, otherwise, you might take away a star.
