Story Synopsis:
This super science fiction action adventure was inspired by a short story by Phillip K. Dick. As the protagonist, Schwarzenegger finds himself in a surreal fantasy world of the year 2084, where his beautiful wife ( Stone) turns deadly and he is trapped in a mind-altering mining colony of aliens whose overseer alters reality accordingly to his own dubious wishes.
DVD Picture:
The anamorphically enhanced 1.85:1 DVD picture has a slightly dated and soft appearance, but detail is satisfying and images are more nicely rendered, with better clarity when compared to the previously reviewed DVD. Colors are generally well balanced, with accurate fleshtones and deep blacks. Source element artifacts and film grain are revealed. Edge enhancement is noticed, as well as occasional pixelization. (Suzanne Hodges)
Soundtrack:
The Dolby® Digital 5.1-channel discrete soundtrack is a new remastering and an improvement over the previous DVD release. The low-end is deeper and more powerful, and the sonic character is slightly less strident. Additionally, left-right separation in the surrounds is much better, and the sense of overall spaciousness sounds more refined. Nonetheless, the original, somewhat dated fidelity shines through, and the tonality tends to err toward the bright side. Split surround engagement is certainly notable and aggressive, and the use of back surround decoding serves to further heighten the sense of expansion. Deep bass is substantial at times, with aggressive .1 LFE engagement and extension to below 25 Hz in the main channels. A great example of powerful deep bass delivery is the spacecraft fly-over at the very beginning of Chapter 11. The dialogue sounds reasonably natural, considering the age of the production, but also somewhat forward sounding. Overall, this soundtrack offers a significantly energetic soundfield that should be engaging and entertaining. (Perry Sun)
