Review title: A Very Disappointing Transfer
Product review: It's a shame that a significant classic such as Metropolis should be the victim of bad execution to the DVD format. The quality of the print is poor. It is dark and not sharp -- obviously the result of using a print that is several generations removed from the original negative. The opening card is so out of focus, I had to check to see if I still had my glasses on. Worse, whoever did the telecine transfer zoomed into the frame -- the result is that everything is cut-off from the top, bottom, left, and right sides of the screen. Very frustrating with a full-frame movie.I have VHS copies that are heads and shoulders above the quality of this DVD. If you want an example of a bad DVD transfer to show your friends, use this as an example -- otherwise find a good copy on VHS.
