Everything appears reasonably sharp and well defined, but nothing leaps out at the viewer. Some shots appear softer than others, but the movie never looks fuzzy. Colors are rendered with a natural level of saturation, although some hues appear more vibrant than others. Flesh tones remain modestly appealing throughout the presentation. Neither chroma noise nor smearing are on hand to detract from the quality of the picture.
Blacks are pretty accurate and shadow detail is adequate.
The element used for the transfer displays some minor blemishes, but otherwise is in good shape. The mix is front heavy, with the forward soundstage seeing almost all the activity, while the surround channels come off as being rather anemic, providing only some ambience and musical fill. Channel separation is decent in the front speakers, providing some directional effects, plus the music has nice stereo imaging. English and French Dolby Surround soundtracks are also encoded onto the DVD, as are English and Spanish subtitles. Animation and sound enhance the interactive menus, which provide access to the standard scene selection and set up features.
