It is supposed to help make you feel uncomfortable, but it only pissed me off. So did the finale, in which Alice suggests to Bill that they head home and fornicate. Of course she used a different word, a word that perfectly sums up how most audience members will feel after sitting through this waste of time. The colors are outstanding, from the muted tones to the garish neons. Blacks are positively impenetrable, while shadows and whites benefit from a pristine negative.
Depth of field is amazing, as is attention to detail.
No real compression artifacts or noise. Flesh tones are lifelike, while overall image is stunning. Surround Kubrick's meticulous sound design is perfectly captured in the Dolby Digital 5.1 mix. Dialogue is crisp and clean, while front sound field shows definite split. Not much bass action, but the high and lows ends are startling.
