Michael Kahn's editing is a textbook of the craft, while John Williams' score is both noble and sentimental. The war torn scenic design is by Tom Sanders, who makes it look all too real. It sets new standards for the genre, standards that will be hard to top. Anamorphic Enhanced Dual Layer Outstanding presentation retains the film's gritty, almost realistic look. Nice, tight colors combine with strong blacks and human flesh tones to create images that are truly dazzling.
Depth of field is outstanding, as is attention to detail.
No compression artifacts or noise. Color saturation is pure and strong throughout. Excellent Dolby Digital 5.1 and Dolby Digital 2.0 Surround Highly realistic Dolby Digital 5.1 soundtrack puts you right in the middle of the action. Ambient noise is so realistic that you'd swear bombs and bullets were going off right next to you. Stereo separation is impressive throughout, as is the soundtrack's definitive front to rear spatial separation.
