PLOT SYNOPSIS |
|
SPECIAL FEATURES – 2/5 |
|
This release comes with a matted slip cover. Features only include an Audio Commentary by Screenwriter/Film Historian Gary Geroni who breaks down the origins of the project and production from the mind of Gene Roddenberry. Also included is a Textless Trailer and Promo. |
VIDEO – 4½/5 |
| The Questor Tapes comes to Blu-ray and is presented with a 1.33 full frame aspect ratio as it originally aired with a new 1080p high-definition transfer that is culled from a new HD Master from a 2K Scan of the 35mm Interpositive. As it is, this is a fine looking picture with sharp detail while colors are nicely balanced, showcasing the 1970s-era costumes and cheap sets. Still, there were no apparent signs of artifacts, aliasing or other ailments, and is presumably a significant step up from the previous DVD release(s). |
AUDIO – 4/5 |
| The movie includes a basic but still effective DTS-HD Master Audio 2.0 tack outputting clear dialogue and the sound effects were at least half decent with good depth for a movie of this budget and when it aired in the mid-70s. |
