The print itself showed mild grain at times and I also saw occasional speckles and white blotches, but these didn't seem significant. SBM maintains a subdued palette, but the colors appeared accurate and neatly saturated, without any signs of fading, bleeding or noise. Black levels were dark and rich, and shadow detail seemed clear and lacked any excessive heaviness to obscure parts of the image in low-light situations. Nonetheless, the quality of the audio seemed very strong. Dialogue appeared natural and distinct, with no concerns related to intelligibility or edginess.
Effects are crisp and clear and lack any distortion.
Music only appears sporadically during the film and maintains a quiet presence most of the time but the songs seemed smooth and well-reproduced. SBM packs in a few nice supplements. First up is an audio commentary from director Rob Reiner. The piece features quite a few long pauses, and when Reiner speaks, it's usually to tell us that what we're seeing on screen was influenced by his childhood. That may sound good, as one might expect some interesting insights into his youth, and Reiner indeed provides a few compelling nuggets about his early life.
