UK 1967

Doomwatch star Simon Oates takes the lead role in this cult '60s
sci-fi gem, adapted from visionary author Murray Leinster s novel The Wailing
Asteroid by fellow Hugo-Award winner John Brunner. Also starring Bond girl Zena
Marshall and featuring typically comedic turns from Patricia Hayes and Charles
Hawtrey, The Terrornauts is presented here in brand-new transfers from the
original film elements of both its initial theatrical and subsequent, shortened
versions. |

Weak, but 'campy' science fiction effort from the 60's. Poor costumes and special effects and a modest story. It vacillates between poor and acceptable for the image and audio quality. It is dual-layered as it offers two versions of the film ('Re-Release' and 'Theatrical'). I assume the 'Re-release' was made because the surviving elements were too poor, or too costly, to restore. The transfers for both are anamorphic in the 1.66:1 aspect ratio. It is only 'watchable' but nothing more and has inferior, inconsistent sound.
About the included, longer, 'theatrical version' Network states "viewers will notice a drop in quality" but the image is actually crisper although it can look very green and does have noticeable scratches. It has similar audio issues. Extras, aside from the bonus Theatrical Version, include a trailer and 'Gallery'. I don't recommend for those expecting too much although the crackling audio and visual anomalies can add to the nostalgia - it is certainly priced fairly at 5 GBP. - Gary Tooze |
