THE WAY looks very good. This presentation is crisp and well detailed. Colors are very vibrant and reproduce on DVD without a hint of chroma noise or distortion. A superior authoring job hid virtually all traces of digital compression artifacts. The Dolby Digital 5.1 channel soundtrack has a surprisingly active mix for a screen comedy.
Sound effects shoot out of all of the discrete channels and bass reproduction is strong.
Dialogue is focused in the center channel and reproduces with a natural timbre that is never overpowered by the effects channels. A matrixed Dolby Surround track has been included on the DVD, as have French and Spanish language tracks. English and Spanish subtitles have been encoded into the disc. The interactive menus are fairly simple and offer the standard language and scene selection features. A theatrical trailer, plus biographies for a select few cast members has been included as supplement.
