"Dazzling computer animation and special effects…" – Variety
Dr. Lawrence Angelo (Pierce Brosnan) is a brilliant scientist obsessed with perfecting virtual reality software. When his experiments on animals fail, he finds the ideal substitute – Jobe Smith (Jeff Fahey), a slow-witted gardener. Dr. Angelo's goal is to benefit his human guinea pig and ultimately mankind itself, but evil lurks the guise of "the Shop," a shadowy group that seeks to use the technology to create an invincible war machine. When the experiments change the simple Jobe into a superhuman being, the stage is set for a Jekyll-and-Hyde struggle for the control of Jobe's mind and the future of the world.

I had waited so long for this Director's Cut, to have it in HD is amazing. The whole set is pretty much perfect, to me, from the features to the art :)

Some love this movie, while some hated it. i have never read the story so I'm one that enjoyed it. If your someone that didn't car for it you'll still enjoy Shout! Factory's release. Another great looking transfer with both cuts of the film on two discs. The reason I like Shout! Factory is they actually spend time doing extra's for the films the release. I didn't care for the artwork on this one but, I got tne poster anyway. It's nice to see them rolled more and more. All in all. a Great release.

Say what you want. I've always loved this movie, and the fact that this blu-ray comes with the director's cut is absolutely awesome. This was the first things k ordered straight from Shout. And it was prompt shipping and lie the poster. Very underrated movie in my opinion. Especially with VR technology actually coming back nearly 20 years after the fact.

Like Nightbreed, the beautiful transfer and additional footage kicks this out of the incoherent guilty pleasure category. Whether it's compelling cinema is for you to decide.

I love this movie. If you've seen it you know what you are getting. If not then probably research it a bit. The packaging is beautiful and the design work is outstanding!

Love being able to have both versions of the film in one set. The new Bluray from scream factory is the best I have ever seen The Lawnmower Man look, for sure beats any other version out there. Been a fan of this film since I was young & was very satisfied with this release! Thank You
