Casper Van Dien (Sleepy Hollow, Starship Troopers, Aaron Spelling`s Titans) stars as Tom Merrick, a reporter who makes a startling discovery.

Your Opinions and Comments

7 / 10

The idea behind this movie is very nice indeed. It seems, however, that this movie was made for TV.
The video transfer is good. This is a 4:3 movie, but the visuals are pleasing. There are no compression signs at all. The few special effects are also nice.
The DTS and DD 5.1 soundtracks are problematic. Other than the fact that it seems like the surround channels are a duplication of the front channels, the balance is all wrong. While an occasional usage of the surrounds exists here and there, the volume of the surrounds is too high and interferes with the dialog on the center channel.
The menus are still with sound.
There are no extras on this disk.
Bottom line - a nice movie with a problematic sound mix.
