The digital transfer looks terrific, with warm, muted colors, and impressive blacks that hold together even under the most challenging of circumstances. Star fields have great depth of field, while attention to detail is perfect. The images are sharp, with crisp colors and flattering flesh tones. No digital compression artifacts or noise. Colors are especially inviting, with honest replication of natural elements like earth tones and sky.
Basses are bold, while middle and high ends are clean.
Dialogue mix is front and center, while rear speakers benefit from strong ambient and musical cues. Surround effects are good, making it easy for you to get lost in the film. No distortion of any kind. Ambient noise like echo and blasts are extremely realistic to the point of being distracting. The 2.0 Dolby Digital mix is okay, but for a real kick, check out the Thermian mix in 2.0 Dolby Digital.
