Once I found the place, I quickly set up my tripod and captured this magical panoramic scene. A slight glow on the horizon indicated sunrise and I frantically searched this moonscape for the perfect salt patterns. I was 282 feet below sea level and the feeling was incredible.

The whole landscape was still and calm, lit by the full moon. I woke up at 4:00A, and hiked over the salt flats that I had scouted out the day before. I timed a trip out to Death Valley with hopes to capture this lunar presence.

Dialog tends to run off without definitive direction, as if the split is held back. Stereo work draws some questions with a distractedly minor split between channels. While bright and a jump in volume, superior clarity marries to stronger sonic fidelity. The preferred mix is the modern PCM selection (note both tracks come in PCM form). Some audible scratchiness in the dialog indicates such. While there’s no explanation, a vintage audio track is included. Saturation works where allowed with a pleasing output. Warm flesh tones pair with cold steel, making up the ship interiors. In space, effects hide in similar crush, but again, that’s not this transfer’s fault. With the focused contrast, depth looks better than such a budget usually suggests. Scenes of Satan manipulating people take on a one-sided lighting approach, getting pure black on part of the frame. Visual effects naturally soften in comparison, although aside from deep shadows, finding detail in model work isn’t hard.ĭark Side of the Moon is loaded with crushing shadows. Even picking out details in the sets, from rust to dirt, is possible. Facial definition benefits from the source lighting schemes, yet is brought out here tenfold.

Lesser films of this ilk (notably the saturated late ‘80s, early ‘90s rental market) use aliens or creatures. Then it’s all undone by a well timed nuke, because in Cold War America, of course the ultimate evil is susceptible to military might. That’s sharply written thematic material. Cue a checklist of the Ten Commandments this crew is aiming to break all of them.ĭark Side of the Moon takes a while to get into the best philosophizing, concluding with two astronauts, one consumed by evil, battling over what to believe. It’s a Biblical nightmare with Satan possessing the crew and manipulating them into sin. Patches of gore and miniature effects add some visual oomph until things turn to pure horror. While never frantic in pacing, there’s enough mystique to build tension. In the moon’s orbit, a stray satellite equipped with nukes, in case the Cold War connection wasn’t clear enough. … undone by a well timed nuke, because in Cold War America, of course the ultimate evil is susceptible to military mightĬue darkness, flickering emergency lights, and panic with a little of The Thing’s Cold War distrust.
