Time Bandits: The Criterion Collection Blu-ray Review – starring John Cleese, Sean Connery, and Shelley Duvall
Time Bandits (The Criterion Collection) [Blu-ray] is an incredible movie that has stood the test of time. Directed by Terry Gilliam, this classic comedy features an all-star cast including John Cleese, Sean Connery, Shelley Duvall, and a host of others. The Criterion Collection Blu-ray edition of Time Bandits is an excellent addition to any home video library. The picture quality is superb and the bonus content is plentiful. The film itself remains as funny and relevant today as it was in 1981.
The story follows 11-year-old Kevin (Craig Warnock) as he embarks on a wild adventure with six dwarves who are using a magical map to hop through time and space for their own personal gain. Along the way they meet up with some historical figures, battle evil forces, and even come face to face with God himself! It’s a fun romp that never takes itself too seriously, but still manages to have something meaningful to say about our place in the world.
