  WSR Narrative Review
Story Synopsis:


DVD Picture:
Compared to the previously released non-anamorphic DVD, this new anamorphically enhanced 1.82:1 DVD exhibits a cleaner picture, with improved sharpness and detail. Colors are well balanced, with accurate fleshtones and deep blacks. The intergalactic space scenes are perfectly rendered for the setting of the humor. There is some minor debris noticed in the source element, but nothing that is terribly distracting. Fans should not be disappointed with this picture. (Suzanne Hodges)
