While well intentioned, The Color of Time is basically a student film, by Franco’s pupils, with high level actors filling the roles. The story isn’t that well written and all in all just not that interesting. The DVD released by Anchor Bay is very basic with no features and so-so video and audio transfers.

The Color of Time is presented with a 1.78 anamorphic widescreen aspect ratio and although it’s not a great looking film to begin with, the colors are generally bright if not a bit oversaturated.
The film comes with a standard but effective enough Dolby Digital 5.1 track. Optional English SDH and Spanish subtitles are included.
OVERALL – 1.5/5
Overall, while well intentioned, The Color of Time is basically a student film, by Franco’s pupils, with high level actors filling the roles.
