Blacks are deep and true, plus the image has good contrast. DVD authoring is very competent, so there are no visible traces of digital compression artifacts. The film's soundtrack has been upgraded to Dolby Digital 5.1 channel mix that proves to be quite pleasing. Sure, one can tell that the track originated in the era of standard surround, but the mix is still pretty lively. The forward soundstage provides a very open sonic environment, with good channel separation.
Dialogue is clean and precisely focused.
The rear channels are quite active, delivering sound effects, ambient sounds and plenty of musical fill. Alan Silvestri's marvelous score sounds fantastic and is very well integrated into the surround mix. The soundtrack has respectable bass reproduction that really enhances the musical score. A French language soundtrack has also been encoded onto the DVD, along with English subtitles. The interactive menus are very basic, providing only the standard scene selection and set up features.
