  WSR Narrative Review
Story Synopsis:
After having no regard for the cleanliness of their planet

DVD Picture:
The anamorphically enhanced 2.40:1 DVD picture is slightly dark in character, but when viewed in a completely blackened room, should present satisfying imagery throughout. Colors are well balanced, with accurate fleshtones, rich hues and deep blacks. Once on the red planet, colors shift to warm reddish monochromatic overtones throughout the color scheme. Shadow delineation is nicely rendered, despite the dim character of the picture. Fine details infrequently shimmer on the space suits and clothing, but distractions like edge enhancement and pixelization do not pose much of a threat to the pleasing image quality.
