While Connor may appear to have his own agenda, he knows the Japanese better than they know themselves, which enables him to get at the truth. Sean Connery is particularly effective in the role of John Connor and definitely has chemistry with his co-star Wesley Snipes. Film grain is occasionally noticeable in the film s numerous darker scenes, but it never becomes distracting. Colors are strongly saturated and the flesh tones are very appealing. The strongest of the hues are reproduced without any evidence of chroma noise, although some of the hotter colors threatened to bleed through.
Blacks are very accurate and the image has fairly smooth contrast.
Digital compression artifacts remain in check throughout the presentation. For the most part the mix is quite good, creating a spacious forward soundstage and clean, precise dialogue reproduction. Channel separation in the front is quite good, with definite left-right panning of sounds. No, it isn't Earth shattering, but the lower frequencies are there. Additionally, there is a slight edginess to some of the higher frequency sounds, I don't want to say the soundtrack is harsh, but it might sound that way on cheap speakers.
