Greens and blues are especially pleasing, with realistic flesh tones that are flattering. A lot of hard work went into the sound design to envelop you in the middle of the action, and the DVD totally respects that effort. Every sound field is alive with information, from rear speakers that pump out realistic ambient noise, musical cues with real oomph and dialogue. Surround effects are awesome, completely enclosing you in a wall of sound that makes the battles even more ferocious. Front sound stages are perfect, with excellent stereo split and a dialogue mix that is superior.
Basses are effective, while high and middle ends are clean.
Excellent Feature-length commentary by director Mel Gibson, who goes the distance and then some. Here's a man whose passion for film and filmmaking comes through loud and clear. I won't get into the particulars because every word is a keeper. Suffice it to say that Gibson is candid as ever, providing insight and a lot of levity to the proceeding. A Filmmaker's Passion.
