Zardoz appears in the form of a giant stone head that flies through the air, landing in the realm of The Brutals, where he supplies his followers the weapons they use to kill. As Zed spends time amongst The Eternals, he proves to be a disruptive influence, and his continued presence has ramifications that ultimately affect both societies. This is a very good transfer of an older and somewhat obscure film. In general, image quality is fairly pleasing with everything appearing relatively sharp and well defined. A lot of smoke and fog appears throughout the course of the movie, which has a tendency to soften up the image.
Film grain is noticeable throughout the presentation, but it never becomes a distraction.
For the most part, colors tend to be subdued, but sequences with controlled lighting offer better saturation. Neither chroma noise nor bleeding cause any problems. Blacks appear accurate and the level of shadow detail is decent enough for the image to retain a level of dimensionality. Digital compression artifacts remain out of sight throughout on this dual layered disc. The Dolby Digital 3.0 channel soundtrack is localized in the forward soundstage, providing a very good stereo image.
