Title: Great Movie, Terrible DVD
Review: This is one of the great remakes -- a remake that actually doesn't just rehash the original. It takes the same premise in a different direction. And it has a 70s apocalyptic character -- edgy and just a little depressing. The original and this remake really reflect their times.So the movie is fantastic. This DVD is one of the worst I've seen (I have a few hundred DVDs). The compression is terrible -- tons of artifacts indicating severe over-compression badly done. The "letterbox" version is not true letterboxing and is also hideously bad.So it's six of one, half a dozen of the other. If the price is low enough, probably worth having because the film is so good.
