Comments: Fox did an EXCELLENT job with this transfer. This film is encoded using AVC on to a BD50 and used DTS-HD MA for sound. The colors are sharp and vivid and really "pop" off the screen. The film grain is minimal and I saw absolutely no noise or macroblocking. The nighttime scenes in this film, which there are many, were fantastic. I saw no noise whatsoever in these scenes. This is one of the better films I have seen in-terms of PQ in quite sometime.

In-terms of audio quality I would say this was a great representation of what DTS-HD MA is capable of. The Surrounds were used frequently. The gun battle in the house between Pitt and Jolie was reference material. Some of the best sound I have ever heard! The LFE too was used to perfection and helped created the encompassing and booming effect. The center channel is where this release excels. Dialog can be heard loud and clear, as if the characters of the film were in your living room with you.

This release was sparse of special features. We get the following:

Commentary By Director Doug Liman, Screenwriter Simon Kinberg, Producer Lucas Foster And Others.

Deleted Scenes

Making A Scene Featurette

Theatrical Trailer In HD

DBOX Technology

In conclusion, if you are a fan of this film, I can highly recommend this purchase as the story is great and the picture and sound quality are top notch.
