Few interesting compositions can be seen aside from some nice landscape shots and the visual potential seems largely ignored by Warchus. While this might have been a good movie if the right director had control, Warchus turns it into a below average flick at best. I hope Warchus realizes how powerful visual compositions can be if he is allowed to directed films in the future. This is a typical New Line transfer, which means impeccable quality in all aspects of the visual presentation. The colors appear bold and vibrant, with no bleeds or smears and flesh tones seem warm and normal also.
Contrast shows no signs of problems either, as shadows are complex and detail level is very high.
Of course the compression is flawless and the image is always sharp and free from debris. This isn't an audio driven movie by any means, but the included Dolby Digital 5.1 track offers a superb audio experience nonetheless. The musical score is decent and comes through very well in this mix, while effects seem minimal though effective when present. This is a dialogue film in every respect, so the surrounds don't see too much action at all. The vocals sound rich and clear at all times, with no volume or separation issues in the least.
