Not in the slightest. But I found it to be an exhilarating experience that allowed me to take in some great scenery and watch the kind of action that only movies can provide. If you allow yourself the lowly privilege of actually enjoying something that never intended to make you think, you'll probably find this a fun adrenaline rush. I can't believe crap like Armageddon make a gazillion dollars and nobody bats an eye, while much better fare like this gets roasted for succeeding smashingly at exactly what it intended to do. There's some fabulous photography in the film, and this anamorphic widescreen transfer does an amazing job of recreating it.
Colors are vibrant with eye-popping shades of blue, red and yellow.
Fleshtones also appear very natural creating a very pleasing visual look. Detail and depth of image is sometime staggering, with layer upon layer mountainous terrain vividly conveyed. This is a perfect image except for two elements. The first is a visible layer of grain present during darker scenes that seems out of place with the rest of the transfer and the second being a bit of edge enhancement that becomes obvious with all the white backgrounds. These are minor flaws though and ones that pass fairly quickly throughout this otherwise reference image.
