Simply select the version you wish to see from the disc s main menu and off you go. The film is presented in a 16x9 enhanced widescreen transfer that is absolutely clean and without a hint of dust, scratches or any other blemishes. The film s intricate color scheme is perfectly reproduced with vivid hues that are vibrant and powerful. Never oversaturated, the color saturation of the presentation is perfect, creating an image that is practically leaping off the screen. Not a hint of noise or grain is visible in the presentation, even in the hardest of circumstances.
Blacks are very deep, but never lose definition, and give the picture a lot of depth.
Highlights are bold, yet never overexposed, giving the movie a look that is extremely faithful to the film s original theatrical presentation. I found that especially the warm desert tones and the film s trademark blues came across superbly on this transfer without distortion, noise or bleeding. No compression artifact or other anomaly can be found on this release from Artisan Home Entertainment, making this one of the best looking DVDs in the market. As expected, the same is true for the film s audio presentation. For this DVD, the entire movie has been completely remixed by Gary Rydstrom himself.
