Guns - The Evolution of Firearms features a lackluster high definition image. While Mill Creek's video presentation ofttimes offers some exceptionally detailed close-up shots of firearms in a controlled environment, most any live action footage looks downright awful. Interviews with National Firearms Museum Curator Philip Schreier take on a heavy red push and feature crushed blacks, muddy details, heavy blocking, and zero vibrancy. Interviews with Christopher Ruff show false colors and heavy aliasing. Recreated historical footage suffers from jagged edges, banding, severe blocking, crush, mediocre details, and unstable colors. Of course, not every problem is evident in every frame, but just about every shot is home to at least one, if not more, of these issues. It's just good enough to watch, but videophiles will likely be repelled by this offering.
