The Final Countdown - A WARNING!

[David Meek]

Five months and ten days after ordering this DVD from Pacific Family Entertainment, it showed up on my doorstep this Friday. I was pumped! An anamorphic image and DD soundtrack of a favorite old "guilty pleasure" movie. Well folks:

Don't touch this one! Run away!
The quality absolutely SUCKS!:uhoh:

All right, that's off my chest. Talk about disappointed. No anamorphic display. Very poor image, period - soft to the point of being fuzzy. Very little surround speaker activity at all. The dialog is understandable (oh boy). I had a VHS copy at one time that was much preferable to the image on this DVD. Part of me knew that this was a possibility when dealing with a small production company, but I wanted it to be what they said it was going to be. Oh well, after all, it is only a movie.

That's to bad, This was one of my eventual purchases as I really enjoyed this movie. I guess I'll have to change my plans for this one.

I was going to pre-order this but for some reason didn't. Boy am I glad. I was talking to someone else who has a copy and he mirrored David's remarks.
That really sucks. Will we ever see a decent transfer of this terrific film ?
