Digital artifacts remained in check throughout the film on both the Letterboxed and pan and scan versions. The Dolby Digital 5.1 channel mix is great. The discrete channels allow sounds to Ping-Pong during the special effects sequences, and they also add depth and presence to the rest of the film. Thanks to the Dolby Digital 5.1 channel mix, the musical numbers seem as if the musicians were performing live in your viewing room. Other soundtrack options include a matrixed Dolby Surround mix, as well as a French language track.
Subtitles are available in English, French and Spanish.
You can also access the director's commentary from the interactive menu. Director Chuck Russell's commentary is quite informative about the film's production, while his laid back style makes the commentary an enjoyable listening experience. The movie is a lot of fun and the extras make the disc a terrific value.
