Machine Gun Preacher [DVD] [2011]

Get ready to create emotionally rich storylines

George Pal presents the adaptation of H.G. Wells' sci-fi book The Time Machine. Warner's work on this 1.66:1 anamorphic widescreen presentation is very good considering the age of the film. While there are a few brief moments of edge enhancement in the image, overall this is a very fine-looking transfer with solid colors and well-saturated black levels. The audio is presented in a newly created Dolby Digital 5.1 remix in English as well as a French Dolby Mono soundtrack. The new 5.1 soundtrack utilizes some directional effects, though the bulk of the mix is filtered though the front and center speakers. All aspects of the soundtrack are free and clear of any excessive hiss or distortion. Also included on this disc are subtitles in French and English. The extra features on The Time Machine include the very extensive 47-minute documentary A Look Back: The Time Machine, hosted by Rod Tyler, and footage with Alan Young and Michael J. Fox. This is a very in-depth look at the film which should please fans hoping for insight into the production and themes. Also included on this disc is a list of awards the film won, some cast and crew info, and a theatrical trailer for the film.
