9/10
Still a brilliant film. A very disappointing DVD.
5 October 2007
As a teenager I first saw this film at the cinema and loved it. It made me think not only are we not alone in the universe but also are we the first in the universe? I also fell in love with Peter Thomas' music score. I recently purchased the DVD and was totally appalled with the quality. It looked as if it was duplicated from the worst possible print that could be found. The soundtrack had more snaps, crackles and pops than a bowl of breakfast cereal. Although completely disappointed with the DVD I kept it as an example of the disrespect that some in the industry have for the product that they deal in. Fortunately I acquired the music soundtrack on CD and was overjoyed with the quality. My only hope is that someone who cares about the wonderful photography and score will pick up the movie for distribution and clean up the picture and sound prior to re-release.
