The anamorphically enhanced 2.35:1 DVD exhibits a nicely rendered picture, with images that are sharp and detailed, though some scenes exhibit an intentionally soft focus.

Even though I was extremely excited to not see any references to an Original Web site, that jubilation soon deflated once I realized all that is available can be seen using my DVD player and TV.
