Title: Great movie...good DVD
Review: ST6 is a great movie. This DVD presentation from Paramount Home Video doesn't quite measure up to the original material. The Super 35 image (2.35:1 theatrically) has been cropped to about 2:1 (the same transfer used for the laserdisc), but the picture fares fairly well. The REAL discovery here, though, is the Dolby Digital soundtrack. ST6 has never sounded THIS good--even in the theater, unless you were lucky enough to catch this one in the one few Digital screenings. This 1991 5.1 soundtrack has enough directional effects and bass to rival the newer snazzier 5.1 soundscapes. Also, there are 2 trailers included, including a swell-looking full-length theatrical trailer.Here's hoping that Paramount embraces the 16X9 format in the future, and they start striking NEW transfers of their old laserdisc releases.
Is the review positive or negative?
