Audio I am puzzled as to why a 5.1 track was not included on this disc. While the movie is not that dynamic in audio, I think the audio would have deepened quite a bit with an improved mix. The stereo surround track that is included gets the job done, but lacks the rich surround effects I think a 5.1 track would add. There is quite a bit of gun play, with each shot ringing out through the surrounds. Other than the bullets and a few other high impact effects, the audio stays in the front.
Dialogue is clean and crisp, with excellent clarity at all times.
Extras Even though this is a standard release from Sterling, the disc still has a few goodies packed on. Sterling has included the trailer for The Base, as well as some nice talent files, so we can learn more about the people who made the film. Also on the disc is a running commentary by director Mark Lester, which is a decent listen, but not the best one I have heard. Lester is a decent speaker, and gives some details on the shooting of the film as well. I also want to mention, while not considered an extra, the menus on this disc are very well done.
