The image is so crisp it practically snaps and the level of detail is truly excellent. Colors are bold and strongly saturated, without a hint of instability. Flesh tones appear wholly natural and very appealing. Blacks are dead on perfect, plus the picture boasts superb depth and shadow detail. The film element used for the transfer is pristine, without so much as a stray speck anywhere.
Sound effects move around effortlessly through the spacious sonic environment.
At times, split surround activity can be pronounced, but it still maintains a cohesive presence with the forward soundstage. Dialogue reproduction is very clean and fully intelligible, despite Sandler's bizarre vocal inflections as Little Nicky. An English Dolby Surround track is also encoded onto the DVD, as are English subtitles. Animation and sound effects have been utilized to enhance the interactive menus. Through the menus, one has access to the standard scene selection and set up features, as well as the DVD's array of supplemental features.
