DVD Picture:
The non-anamorphic 1.85:1 DVD picture can be generally satisfying at times. Colors are rich and warm, though hues can occasionally appear plugged-up and unnatural. Images are generally sharp, but detail is limited. Contrast can appear a bit low, and viewing in a completely blackened room is recommended to compensate for the weak shadow delineation. Edge enhancement and pixelization are an annoyance, as usual. (Suzanne Hodges)
Soundtrack:
The 5.1-channel discrete soundtracks both are predominately located amongst the screen channels. Much of the movie is focused around the dialogue, and as such the audio tends to be directed toward the center channel. The instances of atmospheric effects are quite welcome, with a subtle sense of expansiveness and gentle surround envelopment, though they also seem a little juxtaposed when dialogue is the dominant factor. The music is also rather nicely spread around the listening space, and serves as the most prominent spatial element of the soundtrack, with notable surround activity and low-end extension. The DTS version exhibits just slightly greater definition with spatial rendering, as well as with deep bass. (Perry Sun)
