Negative Positive
Title: Terrible image quality!
Review: Of all the editions of this film available in the world this one (the USA Image Edition DVD) has the worst image quality. It is extremely blurry and out of focus. Better is the Ruscico edition, but it has a very high contrast boost, losing much detail into the blacks. Best is the French Bach DVD, having excellent grayscale detail but only has the original French intertitles and no English subtitles.There is a custom DVD to be found free online which uses the Bach image and has new English intertitles, a soundtrack of Philip Glass music, and subtitles in eight languages. Search for: Aelita Oyarsa-Q.It is a very interesting film. Most people seem to miss the fact that all the scenes on Mars take place in an escapist fantasy in the mind of Los, who is prone to flights of fancy and daydreaming.In the final scene there is the message that the problems on Earth should be solved before governments spend large sums on space exploration.
