Rating: Summary: USA Release is the Better One Review: This is the first of the USA (Zone 1) releases of Mutant X. There have already been 13 DVD releases (as of 14 April 3003). The major difference is that the USA Releases have ADDITIONAL material!!! not included on the previous international releases. This disc includes:1. The Shock Of The New A top-secret human genetics program has gone awry, giving its unwitting human subjects, including Brennan and Emma, incredible special powers. 2. I Scream The Body Electric The Genetic Security Agency, controlled by the maniacal Mason Eckhart, will stop at nothing to capture emerging mutants. Emma comes to acknowledge her own "telepathic" power and joins the Mutant X team to save her friend Brennan. PLUS Additional Features: Commentary for "The Shock of the New" Outtakes Gallery Character profile: "Adam" Cast biography: John Shea Television promos ADV Previews The transfer is presented with an aspect ratio of 1.33:1, the video is full screen and naturally not enhanced for widescreen sets. Edge enhancement is also a problem and lowers the general clarity of picture. Despite this, the detail is general quite clear, grain is extremely limited, and film artefacts are rarely seen. The colours seem well rendered, and don't suffer from any bleeding or noise. Aliasing pops up on a couple of occasions, but not to any major extent. Overall it's an acceptable, but middle of the range, transfer.
