Digital compression artifacts remain in check throughout. The Dolby Digital 5.1 channel soundtrack has been re-mixed specifically for home theaters and the sound is very pleasing in the environment. The forward soundstage has good channel separation and effective placement of sound effects. Dialogue reproduction is crisp, clean and fully intelligible. Still, they do produce a respectable amount of ambient fill, as well as occasional sound effects.
Music is used prominently in the mix and takes advantage of the five primary channels.
The soundtrack has a solid bottom end that enhances both the music and sound effects. Full motion video, animation and sound enhance the interactive menus. Through the menu system, one has access to the standard scene selection and set up features, as well as some nice supplements. Leading ladies Susan Ward and Lori Heuring provide a running audio commentary that is almost as much fun as the movie itself. The ladies seem to be having a blast talking about the production and their enthusiasm is infectious.
