Regardless, director Verhoeven has put together a entertaining movie which despite its glitzy effects, is far more complex than one might think, given its premise. A solid effort from start to finish. The video transfer was superb, to say the least. Given the stunning visuals which are interspersed throughout the movie, this one was a real treat to watch. I marveled at the visual clarity and detail levels of the invisibility transformation sequences, they have to be seen to be believed.
Grain is nowhere to be found as the print is practically flawless.
The movie is presented in a widescreen anamorphic format. It s boomingly loud when it needs to be, superbly accompanying many of the movie s high suspense moments. The surround channels are also effectively maximized during the movie s thrilling finale. Included are 2 commentary tracks, one featuring Verhoeven, Bacon and writer Andrew Marlowe and the other is an isolated 5.1 soundtrack with comments from composer Jerry Goldsmith. The first one is an extremely interesting listen as Verhoeven and Bacon trade barbs and go into substantial depth into what went in to making the movie.
