Surrounds are also more active with good sidewall and backwall imaging. Some of the dialog in the center channel seems a bit overcompressed at times, sounding strained, but is generally well rendered. Unadvertised on the original press release is the inclusion on this disc of a DTS 5.1 track as well. When comparing the two, I found the DTS track to sound fuller in the music and contain a warmer sound overall. Sounds that were more confined to the front sound stage on the Dolby Digital track emerged from their two-dimensional constraints on the DTS track, offering depth to sequences that I hadn't heard before.
Fine detail is also more accessible, especially in the surrounds.
For the new director's cut DVD, many of the supplements have been retained, some have been added and others deleted. Here is what you can expect. Segal sounds well prepared and is full of useful information. He goes into sizable depth about the technological hurdles that had to be planned for and overcome to bring the story to screen. Segal is laid back and very personable, making for a very enjoyable listening experience.
