Except for a poorly madeup horse who is supposed to be a trained zebra, everyone in the cast gives believable performances and the action is logical and well paced. Tanya Roberts is upstaged here by a clever elephant and a talkative chimp. A horse painted like a zebra and a flamingo stampede just aren't enough.

Sheena Blu-ray ReviewReviewed by, April 14, 2019Mill Creek has released Director John Guillermin's 1984 Fantasy-Adventure film 'Sheena' to Blu-ray. The film makes its Blu-ray debut as part ofthe studio's line ofreleases featuring 'Retro VHS' slipcovers. The Blu-ray presentation is poor, featuring heavily processed and poorly compressed video and a bland andflat two channel lossless soundtrack.

Therelease does not include any supplements. Read on for brief film, video, audio, and packaging reviews.A young girl is left an orphan when her parents are killed while on a scientific expedition in Africa. She is taken inby African Zambouli and placed in the care of the kindly Shaman (Princess Elizabeth of Toro). She is considered to be the fulfillment of prophecy, 'agolden god-child' who shall 'grow in wisdom and be the protector of the Zambulis and all their creatures.' She is given the name Sheena: Queen ofthe Jungle. Years later and now an adult, Sheena (Tanya Roberts) finds herself in the middle of a conspiracy to kill the king of Tigora, Jabalani (CliftonJones).

When the king's brother, prince Otwani (Trevor Thomas), successfully pulls off the crime, he has Shaman framed and sets his sights onvaluable titanium deposits which are, of course, found on Zambouli land. Sheena teams with a Western filmmaker named Vic Casey (Ted Wass) toprotect her landand put an end to Otwani's scheme.At its best, Sheena is giggly goofy. At it's worst, it's goofy garbage. The plot is ridiculous, the plotting is contrived, the acting is lacking, andthe movie never quite falls into a rhythm or reveals a sense of purpose. Some of the scenery is nice and the animals play well to the camera, butthere's little more of any value. There are a few fun moments on tap, and Wass and Roberts build up apassable chemistry, particularly early on when they're still in the 'feeling one another out' stage.

The movie has some value as filler for a bad moviemarathon but it's more inconsequential than it is poor, leaving it in a lonely middle ground where it's not good enough to warrant a watch and not badenough to earn cult status. Sheena's 1080p Blu-ray presentation is not what one would call 'ideal.'

The presentation struggles in all areas of concern. Problems ariseright off the bat when large fires are lit in early scenes during a ceremony in which an ill man is brought back to health in the 'healing earth.' Significant visible macroblocking comes to define the scene, even more so than poor black levels and print speckles galore. The scene, and much of theentire image, appears on the verge of digital collapse. Compression artifacts abound, and just as bad, severe digital processing smooths out textures,erases grain, and leaves the picture appearing smudgy and artificial. It's a digitally processed disaster, for the most part, with the odd shot appearingmore stable but never fully, or even approaching, filmic-natural. Details are extremely poor, whether considering skin textures which barely revealcommon features with any depth orclarity.

Clothes and environments, including manmade and natural locations alike, also succumb to shoddy detailing. Structures are smooth andgrasses and trees are smudgy andindistinct.

Colors are probably the transfer's best asset. Essentials, like natural greens or Sheena's blonde hair, present with a semi-realistic tone, butthe palette is generally flat and without much life to it. Black levels range from pale to crushed and skin tones are pasty. Unfortunately, the included DTS-HD Master Audio 2.0 lossless soundtrack is also of poor quality. A cave-in early in the film barely presents with even abasic sonicsignature. There's a slight feel for the core sounds of collapsing rock, but there's no depth and no detail. The effects sound sharp and unkempt, and thetrack's general unreliability, especially beyond music and dialogue, remains throughout.

Roaring beasts, blasting gunshots, wailing sirens, and allvariety ofwould-be prominent effects fizzle. And that's not to say music is majestic. It's adequate, presenting with unremarkable clarity and not much wide frontend spacing. It's also not very prominent at reference listening level. Dialogue does image to the center and basic clarity and prioritization are fine. Finally, a purpose for slipcovers!

So often the collectible outer shell features the exact same artwork, front, back, and side as the Blu-ray case inside,making them largely ornamental at best.Occasionally embossing/debossing work adds a little variety but this reviewer has always pitched them in the trash, partly for that reason and partlybecause doing so saves precious (albeit finite) shelf space, critical when one's collection is in the thousands. Mill Creek has taken a step tomake slipcovers a little more meaningful with this line of 'Retro VHS' slipcovers that offer a shrunken-down approximation of a vintage rental storecopyand also feature a portion of a VHS tape extending from the side of the case, even if most VHS covers were open at the bottom.For Sheena, the cover features a bit offake wear (creases, edge frays) notably along the corners. The box features a pair of stickers, one notifying of the film's PG rating and theother advertising that the film is an Action/Adventure, the former appearing near center, just to Sheena's left, and the other at the bottom, theremnants of a much larger sticker that has long since been peeled off (a nice touch). The front artwork is significantlydifferent than the Blu-ray case inside, which is a much less interesting and dynamic Photoshop-like image, but it's nice to have two differentartworksavailable in one package. The main title sticker on the VHS tape reveals the film's title, some legalese, and a rating. Thesticker shows somehandling wear, too. A 'Please Rewind' sticker has also been applied.

Of course these arenot real stickers (it would be great if they were) but rather part of the print, and there's no texture to the cassette, either. Still, it's apretty nifty visual.The rear side is a little less neat, keeping up with the vintage look at the top but showing a few necessary tech details on the bottom that correspondtothe Blu-ray. The bottom side of the VHS tape is also visible.

Humorously, a handful of Blu-ray disc logos appear on the front, rear, and spine to breakthe illusion (though not entirely); the one on the front, situated at the top, in a fairly large size, is the worst offender, though on this release it isaccompanied by 'home video' text which at least gives it a little more weight as something in the tradition of 'vintage.' Truly: kudos to the folks atMill Creek cooking these up. They're all unique while following a basic template. There's room for improvement, but these really are worth collecting.What would be really cool would be if the entire box art mimicked the VHS cover and the Blu-ray artwork underneath entirely mimicked theVHS tape, which could have easily been accomplished.

That would offer more of a seamless illusion of actually pulling a VHS tape out of the packageratherthan it simply appear printed on part of the slipcover.Note: Photographs of several other Mill Creek 'Retro VHS' slipcovers can be found,. Because each slipcover offers thesame basic layout with only somesmall unique identifiers distinguishing one from another beyond cover art, photos will not be included for every release in the line. Those linked imagesdo offer a good overviewrepresentation of what to expect form this line.As for on-disc supplemental content, there is none. This one at least offers a top menu screen, but its onlyoption is 'Play.'
