Title: Great Movie - TERRIBLE Transfer!!!
Review: One of THE greatest Sub movies ever filmed has received absolutely shabby treatment from it's recent transfer to DVD. Overall, the DVD menus are fine (though lacking in any sort of comprehensive background material which would be expected with a DVD that carries a label of "Special Edition"). The audio is also fine; however, even that should have received the DTS treatment rather than just the Dolby Digital.The main crime committed against this film was the horrendous film-to-DVD transfer as it is presented. Frankly, with the sheer graininess and tendencies towards pixelization, I can't help but think that this is a VHS-to-DVD transfer. Not even a pristine VHS tape, but one that has been played daily for over 10 years! The video quality of this transfer is the worst I've seen of any movie in a very long time. Shame on the production company that made this transfer!This great movie deserved a lot better (Special Edition???) than what it got!
Is the review positive or negative?
