Rating: 3.0
Sound was lackluster - video is low resolution
I was not impressed by Paramounts lousy effort at transferring this movie to DVD. They were late in the game to bring out DVDs, and now they have added insult to injury by doing a crummy job of it.When I saw that the disc was dual layered, I thought, here is someone who is going for quality (not willing to sacrifice in compression) - WRONG.They put both the standard and widescreen formats on the same side. The disc is not anamorphic - so if you have a projector, you will be diappointed.What will be noticed by everyone is the poor sound. The laserdisc BLOWS AWAY the sound on the DVD (the helicopter train scene was much more dramatic on laserdisc).Needless to say, I was disappointed - not just by this disc, but by the fact that Paramount doesn't seem to be taking this medium seriously.- Jonathan
