Make no mistake, this is a heroic tale. With a rapid-fire pace, it's easy to fall into the story. The only problem I have is that if the protagonist was told of the Musketeers' full plan, he would have joined them sooner. The picture quality is what DVD promised all those years ago. Shadow detail is as good as your monitor.
Blues are beautiful, reds are regal, and greens are gorgeous.
There are only a handful of times I saw flaws in the film stock. And only with flames did I notice any bothersome digital artifacts. The soundtrack is true to the story and presentation. The sound is engineered to give you a great sense of both time and place. There is also a nice use of stereo surrounds to add a greater sense of depth and ambience.
