On the other hand, without the Scream -like promotion H20 ultimately received, it may not have reached the audience it ultimately did. On DVD, Buena Vista chose to do a non-anamorphic transfer. H20 is a new film, so the print used is almost completely free of age-related blemishes. The picture quality is good, but could have benefited from the extra detail afforded by anamorphic enhancement. Still, there is little in the way of defects from the transfer process.
Black levels are rich and deep, with little picture break-up from artifacting.
Color reproduction and saturation is nicely accurate. There are a few instances where edge enhancement is visible, but it's only on occasion and is never intrusive. The audio is also very nice. The Dolby Digital 5.1 mix creates a nicely immersive, though somewhat limited, sound field. Low-end bass response is satisfactory and will definitely rumble your subwoofer once or twice.
