Story Synopsis:
George Clooney and Nicole Kidman face off with a nuclear terrorist in The Peacemaker. When a train carrying atomic warheads mysteriously crashes in the former Soviet Union, a United States nuclear specialist (Kidman) discovers that the accident was part of a sinister plot designed to cover up the theft of the weapons. She teams up with a special forces officer (Clooney) to track the last remaining warhead to the steps of the United Nations.
LaserDisc Picture:
The 2.35:1 LaserDisc is an exceptional visual experience, with balanced colors that are fully saturated. Images are sharp and detailed, with contrast and shadow delineation nicely rendered. Minor noise is apparent throughout, but overall, the picture will not disappoint.
LaserDisc Soundtrack:
The discrete 5.1 Dolby® Digital sound design is effectively dimensional with superb spatial delineation. While surrounds are not consistently aggressive, envelopment is exciting with deep and powerful bass extension and thrilling .1 enhancement. At times, .1 LFE reaches below 25Hz. The beautifully recorded orchestral music score sweeps across the soundstage wrapping deep into the surrounds. Sound effects are produced in stereo and the surround presence is aggressive.
