This straightforward DVD release of Blast From the Past is as light on features as the story is in general. The disc includes widescreen and pan-and-scan versions of the movie on a single-sided, dual-layered disc. The widescreen version is a non-anamorphic transfer at an aspect ratio of 2.35:1. Both transfers seem to have been sourced from pristine prints, and exhibit neither scratches nor speckles. Colors are strong and accurate throughout, with excellent blacks and good shadow detail. Edge enhancement and compression artifacts are absent. The disc includes Dolby 5.1 and Dolby Surround tracks and English subtitles. Both audio tracks are clean, well-mixed, and unspectacular; for a movie of this kind, serviceable audio is perfectly adequate. Both tracks have a good punchy bass that will provide subwoofers with a fairly decent workout. The disc extras include the theatrical trailer, a corny "Love Meter," cast and crew information, and a DVD-ROM section (using PC Friendly) that provides detailed background on the film, access to the shooting script with the ability to look at a scene after reading the script section (the script can also be printed out), a copy of the early Internet Movie Database page on the film (and a link to the updated page), and a selection of elements taken from the original film site. The bonus section is nice, if not mentally challenging.
