For those of you who must view this version, it is a bit softer and grainier than the Letterboxed transfer, but the color is respectable. This version also features the anamorphic enhancement for wide screen televisions. Digital compression artifacts were hardly detectable on the Letterboxed version and only slightly more noticeable on the cropped edition. Still the track does offer good separation, and the music is greatly enhanced by the Dolby Digital deployment. Other soundtrack options include a matrixed Dolby Surround compatible track and a French language track.
Subtitles are available in English, French and Spanish.
