It's a very overlooked movie, has a great cast and enough action to keep you intrigued for over 2 hours. I saw a few points of artifacting, but nothing too bad. To me, the film looked as good as any other non-anamporphic transfer, but it got knocked down a few points for a few scenes that I felt could have been better. The audio is a different story, the White Squall sequence alone will have your subwoofer and any other element that has bass attached to it, working overtime. Waves crashing, sails flapping and that little sound that ropes make when tension is applied are all sounds that you'll hear in the rear surrounds.
Dialogue is clear and has no distortion at all.
And there's even a few songs that sound good coming through all 5.1 channels. A nice job of sound, here. Extras Disney comes up short again, a trailer is included and a 5 minute featurette are included. I have to admit that the featurette was interesting, but just when I was starting to get into it, it ended. I can't tell you how interesting a Ridley Scott commentary would be.
