Weird Science

"John Hughes comedy classic Weird Science gets yet another release, this time under the ""High School Reunion Collection"" banner. While the extras on the disc seem slim, they're still a step up from the last one Universal junked out. This time, the 1.85:1 image comes in a vibrant anamorphic transfer, while audiophiles will be more than happy with the tweaked and remastered 5.1 Dolby Digital and DTS tracks. Bonus materials are slim, but at least you get the original theatrical trailer (something the box does not advertise, which might mislead some buyers looking to upgrade their disc). All in all, it's a fine pared-down release, though one has to wonder if there are plans in the works for a special edition down the road."
