In this day and age of CGI abuse, it's nice to see a story use effects to tell the story rather than gild the lily. Your mouth will completely drop open when you see some of the water and wave effects in the film. This DVD presents the film with that same sort of respect. The picture quality is way above the normal standard put out by Warner. Given to us in anamorphic widescreen, the picture absolutely shines.
Colors are rich, flesh tones are dead on and the blacks are, for the most part, solid.
With all the wind, rain and CGI in this film, some MPEG-2 digital artifacting is inevitable. But I don't think this transfer could have been done better. It looks damn good. The sound, on the other hand, IS even better. The Dolby Digital 5.1 EX sound field is really well defined and kicks ass.
