If you like 50's Sci-fi this new remaster is spectacular. The picture quality is amazing. They got Ben Burtt (sound engineer from Star Wars) to do the 5.1 channel sound re-mix.
Lots of extras including one on the making of the original movie, one on the re-master, and the complete Orson Welles WOTW broadcast.
For science fiction fans this is a real treat.
