VIDEO \u2013 4\u00bd\/5<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n
\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Arrow Video releases Warning from Space<\/em><\/strong> onto Blu-ray where its presented with a 1.37 full frame aspect ratio and given a restored 1080p high-definition transfer. There are some stabilization issues though as noted in the booklet, due to the condition of the film material, there was some flickering here and there. However, outside of those issues, this was a very fine looking picture, detail is fairly good and colors tended to be vibrant while dark levels were well balanced.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

AUDIO \u2013 3\u00be\/5<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n
\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

The included PCM Mono Japanese track has some minor hissing here and there however, dialogue does come across with some good clarity, which isn\u2019t insignificant since the bulk of the movie isn\u2019t exactly an action-fest, so any depth is minor even by the standards of a singular track.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
