With the popularity DVD is now experiencing, we are seeing earlier released movies being re-released with more features and sometimes better audio. One of the more recent films like this is Cliffhanger, which got quite a facelift since its release over a year ago. The transfer is once again first rate and maybe even cleaner than the first. Given that the movie moves a lot from very brightly lit to dark and gloomy, the transfer holds up beautifully. The sound absolutely lifts you from your seat.
All channels reflect true sound with the center delivering crisp dialogue.
The audio makes me proud to own a DVD player. Both are quite enjoyable if you like this feature. A making-of featurette, deleted scenes, another section on special effects, storyboards comparisons and photo galleries are all here. I highly recommend this to action fans. All rights reserved.
