HD-DVD & DVD Combo! Both Standard and HD-DVD versions on one disc!

In the 23rd century, mankind has fled Earth and emigrated to the moon. The lunar planet had earlier served as a way station for the colonization of Mars. But when the colossal base, Freeport, fell and crashed into the Earth's surface, it triggered the great calamity, leaving the Earth a desolate wasteland. Those left stranded own the moon built their own city, establishing the lunar republic of Eden, composed of six giant domes, this final outpost of mankind is operated under the strict supervision of the citizens administration council, which guarantees its citizens lives of peace and stability. Out on the barren lunar surface, a lone LTV - Lunar Terrain Vehicle - spits up moon dust and speeds off, due north. In the cockpit sits 15-year-old Takeru, his friend Kazuma riding shotgun in the back. With an electromagnetic catapult once used for Terraforming Mars, the two boldly escape the confines of Eden. Just two days earlier, Takeru had been on the lunar service doing routine maintenance, when he stumbled upon a strange capsule containing a single photograph. Captivated by the enigmatic girl in the photo, Takeru scoured the city for clues to her identity, but no one knew anything about the girl, or the location in which the photo was taken. With nowhere else to turn, Takeru and buddies Kazuma and Biz descend to the core of Eden in hopes that old-timer Alan, versed in the city's legends, might give them at least a hint as to the photo's history. But the old man goes beyond mere hints. And what he reveals is more than Takeru and friends could have ever imagined. Wearing Mars exploration suits in an old, space vacuum maintenance LTV, Takeru and Kazuma speed across the lunar surface - and beyond the city's walls. Such unauthorized travel outside the domes of Eden is a grave offense, putting them at great risk. And it isn't long before mysterious multi-legged robots begin closing in. Will the duo make it safely back to the sanctuary of the domes? And what did old Alan's revelations about the photograph really mean? Visibly agitated, Biz watches the two speed through a tunnel and out of sight. What secrets of Eden await them on the other side?
