WSR Narrative Review |
|
Story Synopsis:
This super science fiction action adventure was inspired by a short story by Phillip K. Dick. As the protagonist, Schwarzenegger finds himself in a surreal fantasy world of the year 2084, where his beautiful wife ( Stone) turns deadly and he is trapped in a mind-altering mining colony of aliens whose overseer alters reality accordingly to his own dubious wishes.
LaserDisc Picture:
The 1.85:1 picture is solid with excellent con-trast, sharpness and detail, deep blacks and almost accurate fleshtones. Some slight grain but no artifacts to mar this THX® presentation.
LaserDisc Soundtrack:
The soundtrack is dynamic with good bass extension and directional effects that provide surround envelopment.
