She sails to Egypt to raid a tomb that supposedly hides the cure, but what will she do when an army of resurrected mummies get in the way? Back in Paris she finds the city in chaos after a 136 million-year old pterodactyl egg mysteriously hatches. Adele realises she is the only one game enough to take control of the prehistoric bird. Special Features: * Making of * Interviews with Luc Besson and Louise Bourgoin * In the Studio * Cinemoi interview with Luc Besson AMAZON REVIEW The Extraordinary Adventures of Adele Blanc-Sec is the latest film from acclaimed director Luc Besson, and it’s one that ranks with some of his finest work. It’s also, comfortably, one of the year’s most enjoyable movies. Set during early 20th century Paris, and based on the comic book series of the same name, The Extraordinary Adventures of Adele Blanc-Sec finds the title character embarking on some far-fetched quests, with the feel of an old-fashioned family adventure movie. It’s a winning mix, and certainly makes for exciting cinema. The film is helped by its casting, too, not least Louise Bourgoin as Adele Blanc-Sec. But it’s also an exciting, funny and adventurous movie, that’s got no shortage of imagination to it. It effortlessly blends different genres, and while there’s the odd bump across the film’s running time, it’s a small price to pay for such an enjoyable, rollicking film. Hopefully, all concerned can be convinced to reunite for further adventures of Adele Blanc-Sec. For now, though, it’s hard to resist the many, many charms of The Extraordinary Adventures of Adele Blanc-Sec. --Jon FosterDVDs ARE REGION 2 UNLESS OTHERWISE STATEDPlayback Region 2 :This will not play on most DVD players sold in the U.S., U.S. Territories, Canada, and Bermuda.
