Despite this, the image does maintain a good sense of depth. Clean dual layer authoring precludes noticeable digital compression artifacts. The Dolby Digital 5.1 channel soundtrack has a very good mix that is appropriate to the material. Most of the time, sound effects are used discretely and in a very naturalistic manner. However, there are key sequences in which the sounds emanating from the surround channels seem to be representative of the psychological unrest affecting the characters.
Dialogue is completely intelligible and the actors' voices resonate quite nicely on the soundtrack.
The bass channel has a couple of showy moments, but otherwise exists to lend credibility to the sound effects. Stephen Warbeck's score is nicely integrated into them mix and is reproduced with very good musical fidelity. English and French Dolby Surround soundtracks are also encoded onto the DVD, as are English and Spanish subtitles. Full motion video, animation and sound all serve to dress up the interactive menus. Through the menu system, one has access to the standard scene selection and set up features, as well as a nice complement of supplements.
