Black levels are firmly rooted, however white levels are all over the place. Many scenes appear solarized with too much contrast and too little color, but this is apparently how it all should be. As such it s hard to judge color properly. Audio is presented in Dolby Digital 5.1, as has become the norm. The subwoofer channel does get a decent workout during action sequences, though I found the rear channels to be fairly underused.
Dialogue is easy to make out and environmental effects feel convincing at all times.
English is the only audio track, though both English and French subtitles are available. Starting off you get dual full-length commentary tracks, one with director David O Russell, the other with producers Charles Roun and Ed McDonnell. 6 minutes of deleted scenes can be played with only production audio, or a commentary track. A 10 minute tour of the Iraqi village set is also included, demonstrating the painstaking detail that went into creating the authentic realism of the film. Three Kings includes a 13 minute Director s video journal which gives an intimate look behind daily filming.
