Of course, the jealous Vulcan casts the Baron and Company into the sea where they are swallowed by a giant sea monster. I guess you will have to check out the DVD to find out. The film is offered wide screen only on a dual layered disc, which minimizes compression and maximizes image quality. Colors are rich and smoothly rendered, which complements the sharp, highly detailed image. Additionally, the film's warm, highly saturated hues reproduce without any evidence of chroma noise or distortion.
Blacks are a deep true black, plus the DVD offers superb contrast.
As I stated above, compression artifacts are tamed by the use of dual layer technology and first rate DVD authoring. The Dolby Digital soundtrack is of the two-channel variety, which decodes to standard surround. The forward soundstage has some nice channel separations, plus dialogue reproduces quite well. Of course, the surrounds have the technological limitations of Dolby Surround, but they provide a good deal of ambience, as well as some directional effects. Solid bass reproduction easily handles the soundtrack's the explosions present in the battle sequences.
