Color reproduction is excellent. Strong, cold blues, which dominate the night sequences, are perfectly rendered. The daylight shots are warm and glowing, but they are not over saturated. Flesh tones remain natural looking during both the day and night sequences. Even the strongest hues offer no problems with chroma noise or bleeding.
Blacks are a perfect velvety black, plus the image has very good contrast.
Digital compression artifacts remained in check throughout the presentation. The Dolby Digital 5.1 channel soundtrack has an impressive little mix that effectively upgrades the circa 1988 recordings. Sound effects are very well deployed throughout all the discrete channels, in addition to the track having a very open soundstage. Dialogue is very clean and always intelligible. Bass reproduction is quite strong, but the bottom end doesn't rock like a brand new soundtrack.
