PLOT SYNOPSIS<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Michael Harlan (JOHN STOCKWELL) has procrastinated on his science project until the last minute, and his teacher (DENNIS HOPPER) issues him an ultimatum: turn in a science project or flunk. So with the help of a couple of friends (FISHER STEVENS, DANIELLE VON ZERNECK), Mike scavenges a military base\u2019s junk pile for a suitable gizmo to pass off as his project. He finds one… and unwittingly unleashes the awesome power and energy of the unknown. Twisted dimensions and time warps collide to create a whirling vortex that takes the class on a startling adventure back in time and into the future.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

VIDEO \u2013 3.75\/5<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Mill Creek unleashes My Science Project<\/em><\/strong> onto Blu-ray presented in the film\u2019s original 2.35 widescreen aspect ratio and a 1080p high-definition transfer. The picture isn\u2019t anything I\u2019d call spectacular or anything but certainly more than adequate for a film going on 30 years. Colors are generally pleasing and there didn\u2019t appear to be many major instances of artifacts, aliasing or other major flaws.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

AUDIO \u2013 3.0\/5<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

As with other of Mill Creek\u2019s bargain titles, this only comes with a standard Dolby Digital 2.0 track which is perfectly fine but nothing extraordinary. Dialogue levels sounded clear and other elements, such as the more action-centric parts toward the end, come through well enough but is obviously limited.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

OVERALL \u2013 2.25\/5<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Overall, My Science Project<\/em><\/strong> is somewhat of a gem, forgotten one at that, of the 1980s overshadowed by Back to the Future<\/em>, Real Genius<\/em> and Weird Science<\/em>, the last two interestingly coming out the same year as MSP<\/em>… Although it\u2019s not as tightly written both in terms of plot and characters, it\u2019s still a fun little flick worthy of watching along with the rest. The Blu-ray released through Mill Creek is the epitome of no-frills, however, with no bonus material and a so-so lossy audio track.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
