Induces laughter, although there are some jokes that fall flat and just lays there. With no one else on board able to fly the plane, Ted is forced to face his greatest fear and take command. Film grain is noticeable in a number of spots, but it is never bothersome. Colors are surprisingly good, appearing a bit more vibrant than they have in the past. Flesh tones are accurately rendered and there is no evidence of chromatic distortion.
Blacks are solid, contrast is good and the level of shadow detail is decent.
Digital compression artifacts do not make their presence known on this disc. The film's soundtrack has been upgraded to a Dolby Digital 5.1 channel mix, which really benefits Elmer Bernstein's musical score. Directional sound effects are few and far between, however the music does have a nice stereo surround presence. Overall, the track has limited fidelity and dynamics, but the jokes come through nice and clear. There is no bottom end, so I guess the bass channel was too busy laughing at the movie to do anything else.
