All of the hues are solid, without any signs of distortion or bleeding. Blacks are right on the money, plus the image boasts excellent shadow detail, clarity and depth. The film element used for the transfer displayed a handful of minor blemishes that are easily overlooked. Channel separation is excellent across the forward soundstage, with effective panning of sound effects. The rears are equally well deployed, with the split surround channels utilized in aggressive fashion.
Dialogue is crisp and fully intelligible, even through a few bombastic moments.
The bass channel is solid and hits hard when it has to. DTS adds greater clarity and depth to what is already an impressive sound mix under Dolby Digital. Graeme Revell s impressive musical score also benefits from the extra resolution of the DTS track. Other soundtrack options include English and French Dolby Surround. The basic interactive menus allow one access to the standard scene selection and set up features, as well as a theatrical trailer.
