The kind of chills you get when you realize you could have spent your hard earned money on the new James Bond film. The stylized cinematography looks sensational on the digital transfer, which delivers particularly strong blacks and almost bleached out whites. That's the look of the film, and the contrasts are impressive. Due to the stylized look, flesh tones are almost ghostly, but they look sensational, while the colors are muted. There are no digital artifacts, even though the moody look of the film seems like an easy target.
Scenes involving fog banks and other natural elements hold up very well.
Depth of field is good, and attention to detail is vivid. The original negative provides for a pure experience that isn't marred by any dirt or scratches. Certain colors like red literally glow when appropriate. The digital mix is terrific, from multi-angle ambient noise to a dialogue mix that makes it easy to hear each and every line even during the most chaotic of moments. Stereo split is especially impressive, both front stage and front to back.
