Comments: First I would like to start with the audio quality of this release. I listened using the PCM 5.1 4.6Mbps option. Ladies and Gentlemen, we have the new standard in HD optical. This is without a doubt the best I have heard in HD optical. Incredible use of the Surrounds and LFE channels. The center channel is also used nicely. The sound is just AMAZING. I am still grinning from ear to ear. In terms of picture quality this film looks nice. It reminds me a bit of "Seven Years In Tibet" only with more vivid colors. There is a fair amount of film grain and the picture does move from sharp to somewhat soft. All in all a nice improvement over the DVD. Again, did I mention how AMAZING the SQ is on this release?
