Note : What the hell is there to say about this movie? Famously known as a flop, although that's not entirely true, it's a garish disco swashbuckler take on the classic comic book character, with a wonderfully weird cast, Star-Wars-meets-art-deco set design, some atrocious blue screen effects over very obvious matte paintings, and Brian Blessed doing his thing. Is it a good film? Probably not, although it's not exactly bad either. What it is is a lot of fun, though. I would suggest this as a double feature with Barbarella, for an evening of goofy, colorful sci-fi adventure.
The story, well, evil emperor Ming is bored, so he decides to destroy the Earth, and only hunky but wooden-acting American football player Flash Gordon, his real estate agent, and a genius mad scientist can stop him. Once in space, our heroic trio meets up with a dashing swashbuckling prince (of space), and a band of Hawkmen, led by Brian Blessed having the time of his life. Luckily, the evil emperor's daughter is an Italian model who promptly falls in love with Flash, causing complications.
This is a good-looking, sharp 4k remaster, with nice detail and very moderate grain. I have to say that even though I respect the desire to make the hyper-saturated color palette really pop, the color, especially the reds, can not possibly be faithful to the film as originally shown, film prints simply don't saturate this much, and it's a bit garish at times, even more than intended. 5.1 remaster is good, all commentary tracks worthwhile, although, if you can listen to Brian Blessed, why listen to anything else?
