The good news is this is miles better than the old U.K Columbia dvd. The picture and sound is much improved. It looks like an older transfer but comes across as very natural looking with low to medium levels of grain and no DNR. There are some minor density fluctuations and some ‘noise’ in the sky but overall it’s a clean print with no obvious signs of dirt etc. Colours are good and detail is also generally quite good but with a bit of softness here and there. I didn’t notice any compression issues.

In conclusion it’s worth buying as it’s a good upgrade over the dvd even if not modern looking but that’s good as it looks like a film and retains the 80’s feel of the movie.
