It is brought to the attention of our dear readers as well as the viewing equipment specified and used by each tester of the MaG team, the rendering may differ from one installation to another, whether or not it is calibrated, as well as personal preferences and expectations may influence the rating. Moreover, the images in the article are not representative of the edition tested.
WORK – Space Dealer
Detective Jack Caine thought he had faced all kinds of crimes on Earth. But someone – or something – who is not of this world, uses human bodies to make narcotics...
On the buddy movie background « subtly » conducted by Dolph Lundgren, this SF player of the 90s, which smells good in the 1980s, remains today a generous cinema bis proposal where races-prosecutions, shootings, explosions and punchlines rhythmize the story. Badabum!
IMAGE – Human cattle
With the exception of a few petals on the film (some very discreet stripes) and a certain « softness » Piqué (due to shooting conditions), it is a very good HD transfer.
The compression is solid, the image is stable, the silver grain (a film in 35 mm format) is in the vast majority homogeneous, the definition is solid throughout, the contrasts are correct (the blacks are beautiful but not too deep and the bright whites) and the colors are not lacking to be well saturated.
SON – And you're leaving in pieces, asshole!
Even if a slight breath is heard from time to time, the VO's stereo mix 2.0 sounds good. Not very dynamic by its nature (it is a low-budget film) but far from being misled by sound effects (a special mention to flying discs), it broadcasts clear dialogues and is provided with a good separation of the frontal channels.
Not as harmonious in its rendering (music stands out less where the voices are more exposed) and attenuating many atmospheres (especially urban), the monophonic VF will be preferred only for followers of cult dubbings.
CONCLUSION – Is he in peace?
Arriving on Earth thanks to the efforts of the independent video editor MDC Films, this edition Blu-ray (limited to 1000 copies) sets itself as the ultimate writer to enjoy the Dolph vs Alien confrontation! The technical presentation is neat, the new bonuses are delivered in quantity (an interesting interview with a generous Dolph Lundgren in film anecdotes, a return on the exciting film by Jérémie Damoiseau, the specialist and collaborator of the actor, etc.) and the digitpack is of all beauty.
