DVD Picture:
The 2.40:1 DVD picture weaves in and out of varying color, noise, and film grain stylizations to help differentiate between different time frames. The different time frames can either be washed out with an intense, glowing blue, or splashed with heavy grain, a soft defocus, and pastel colors, or even feature warm, well-balanced colors. The entire presentation, however, is washed out with milky blacks and little detail in the shadows. Block artifacts can also remove from the detail of the image. (Danny Richelieu)
