Judge Dredd: The Movie

by Andrew Helfer (Artist), Andrew Helfer

“I AM THE LAW!”

In the Third Millenium, the world changed. Climate. Nations. All were in upheaval. Humanity itself turned as violent as the planet. Civilisation threatened to collapse. And then… a solution was found. The crumbling legal system was merged with the overburdened police, creating a powerful and efficient hybrid. These new guardians of society had the power to dispense both justice and punishment. They were police, jury, and executioner all in one. They were the Judges!

When Mega-City One erupts in violent block wars, there’s only one man Justice Department can rely on to suffocate the flames of rebellion. His name is Judge Dredd.

But when the city’s brightest beacon of justice is convicted of breaking the very law he’s been entrusted to uphold, he’s sentenced to spend the rest of his life rotting in the Aspen Penal Colony.

In order to clear his name, Dredd must escape captivity, make his way across the toxic Cursed Earth, break back into the city, and find the familiar foe that framed him. All in a day’s work for Judge Dred

Reviews

[Pedro Plasencia Martínez · Rating 4 out of 5]

Es la adaptación de la película original, pero mejorada, sin tanto humor infantil estúpido, más directa, con diseños muy parecidos a los de las historias de los cómics (ya que es el propio Ezquerra quien se encarga del trabajo), con extras que cuentan el recorrido largo y difícil que tuvo la producción antes de estrenarse en los cines y de fracasar comercialmente y con una obra más añadida de regalo, también con Dredd de protagonista, que se titula 'Trinidad'. Este título embarca al rudo juez en un viaje interdimensional donde se encontrará con otras 2 versiones de sí mismo, sus copias cinematográficas ni más ni menos, la de Stallone y la de Urban. Buen contenido a buen precio.

ENGLISH
It's an adaptation of the original film, but improved, without so much stupid childish humor, more direct, with designs very similar to those of the comic book stories (since it's Ezquerra himself who is in charge of the work), with extras that tell the long and difficult journey that the production had before being released in theaters and its commercial failure, and with an additional work added as a gift, also starring Dredd, entitled 'Trinity'. This title embarks the rude judge on an interdimensional journey where he will meet two other versions of himself, his cinematic copies, none other than Stallone's and Urban's. Good content at a good price.
