This Special Edition DVD utilizes the dual layer format to offer both full screen and wide screen versions of GO on a single sided disc. The image is crisp and highly detailed, with first-rate color reproduction. At times, there are explosive, almost over-saturated hues up on the screen, but the DVD recreates then without any signs of chroma noise. Flesh tones are usually natural, but fluctuate a bit depending how certain scenes are lit. Blacks are faithfully recreated, however the contrast is a bit harsh in places, which is an intentional effect in the cinematography and not a fault in the transfer.
Film grain is only occasionally noticeable during the presentation.
Solid authoring disguised all traces of compression artifacts. The Dolby Digital 5.1 channel soundtrack has a very good mix for a movie where the characters almost continually talk. Directional effects aren't overly abundant, but they are well deployed. The rear channels primarily add ambience and musical fill. Voices sound natural and the dialogue is always intelligible, even when the music is blaring.
