To my eye, the compositions look more balanced. The new disc also has the benefit of chapter encoding, with 24 markers for the 117 minute film. The side break is, as best I can recall, the same as the previous disc. Commando' , on the other hand, looks like a brand new movie. Though the previous transfer was not really that bad, the new one is clearly superior.
Colors are solid and accurate with no bleeding or chroma noise.
Excellent contrast and brightness, as well as a big improvement in the level of detail, gives this new transfer a much nore natural look. Audio quality is, like 'Cocoon' , similar to the previous disc, though I recall the previous transfer contained an audible high frequency hiss that I did not detect in the new transfer. The 90 minute film has been generously chapter encoded with 25 markers. Fox has opted to not include a trailer with either of these films. A definite upgrade for Schwarzenegger fans.
