Many young viewers may not have seen the original film (with Danny Kaye). This re-make is shot in some of the most beautiful landscapes in the world (Iceland). The visual effects are terrific; but the juxtaposition between the familial/business-related inter-personal dynamics make this a modern classic comedy satire. Ben Stiller and Kristen Wiig create the necessary space for the viewer to enter the film and experience the magic.

Walter Mitty couldn't have been a better movie. I was worried about another remake of an old classic but Ben Stillar ( directed and acted ) did an incredible job composing each and every shot in the movie. Every scene is like a beautiful photo. Stillar does a masterful job of playing Walter Mitty as well and you won't soon forget the helicopter pilot or Kristen Wiig who is perfect as Walter's love interest. Watch it on Blu Ray and you'll feel the same way I do. I needed this one in my collection as I'm sure I'll be watching it over and over again

I think I relate to Walter a little. I just wish I had the chance to just get up and took risks like did. He went out of his comfort zone and in the end He succeed on every level.

The ONLY negative is that they have not come out with an ultra 4K Edition. This movie is made for that kind of quality given all of its epic panoramic scenes. To be brief I just think it's a very unique movie. I'm not necessarily a huge Ben Stiller fan but this is not Ben Stiller and one of his normal roles. He does a great job within the limitations of his initial character while slowly becoming who he was meant to be through certain risks in life and taking those chances. I guess there's something about him that I relate to in that I know there are things inside me that this world has tried to crush but has not yet succeeded and in fact I have changed over the years more and more. The entire cast did a great job. Everybody from the drunk Icelandic pilot to Kristen Wiigs as Ben's love interest is fabulous. My three favorite scenes are quiet moment with the ghost cat, longboarding down an Icelandic road with sweeping, vastly empty but captivating views, and the courage inducing singing of Wiigs character of Major Tom. I've watched this film about 8 times and can't see a limitation to the times that I will watch this very uplifting film.

This movie delves into peoples imaginations. It teaches many lessons in life and offer us hope to those who may live a reserved lifestyle.
