5.0 out of 5 stars Also suitable for adults!, February 1, 2005

Although classed as an animated film for younger people, this is definitely also for adults. I accidentally caught the series on TV and was hooked. While the story of good vs evil is straightforward enough for younger viewers, there are plenty of themes that appeal to older viewers: the environment, corporate politics, the blurring of entertainment and propaganda, the manipulation of individuals. There are plenty of characters who are neither wholly good nor wholly bad, but who are manipulated or misguided. There are technologically enhanced humans and human-like androids and even the line between human and artificial becomes blurred. The DVD release is long overdue and I'm looking forward to further instalments.

3.0 out of 5 stars Great story, but not a great picture on big screens, March 19, 2011

This review is from: Phantom 2040: The Ghost Who Walks (DVD)

Phantom 2040 is a very good update to the character and was one of my favorites when it originally came out on VHS years ago. So when I discovered it was now available on DVD,I jumped on it. I was accustomed to animated features being remastered and looking good on my 42" HDTV. Unfortunately this one appears to be a straight transfer from VHS. No remastered treatment appears to be present. The picture is very grainy and not at all what I expected. If your playing this one on a traditional size TV, this may be fine. But on the latest flat screens, this product was not properly mastered. Too bad. I hope that changes in the future. I'll repurchase it if they do.

it is excellent, my son who is 12 enjoyed it more than the other two phantoms videos which he also liked. It has several interesting life lessons for adults that make it worth alot
