Comments: For this release Universal went with a VC-1 encode on to an HD30 disc. For the most part this transfer looks good. The film grain is kept in check and the image is sharp. In my opinion the PQ of this release is the best we have seen from Universal in quite some time. In many of the brighter/outdoors scenes the image "pops" and is very vibrant. As far as AQ goes, I listened using the Dolby Digital Plus (DD+) option and it sounded good. The Center Channel presented the dialog in a clear and powerful manner, the Surrounds received consistent action and the LFE was used in a precise and effective manner. In conclusion this is a nice presentation, so if you are a fan of this film I can recommend this purchase.
