Save for the occasional white blot or tiny pock mark, the presentation is very clean. This is a Dolby Digital, 5.1 soundtrack. Most of the track produces a hemispheric effect with sound delivered to the front three speakers. The forward stage is fairly wide, but shallow. Sound effects place to the far left or right, but don t image in the phantom zones between the center and right, or between the center and left main speakers.
Dialogue is well recorded, but occasionally sounds thin and hollow.
The dynamic range is wide enough to carry some deep bass during the battle sequences. Both left and right mains deal out a bit of rumble for cannon and tank fire. There are occasions where planes flying overhead pan from the rears forward and vice versa, and here a bit of split surround imaging can be heard. Academy Award-nominated score is well recorded and rises up all around the surroundfield, but signal to the forward stage is much stronger and carries a wider dynamic range. Thank you in advance for your support .
