The image is fairly sharp, looking smooth and detailed most of the time, with only some occasional aliasing, a few grainy scenes and a handful of very minor digital artefacts causing concern. Blacks are deep and solid, but shadow detail is poor. This results in a high contrast image, with on-screen information either well lit and clearly visible or darkly lit and murky, with very little middle ground. Contrast issues aside, this transfer is quite pleasing on the eye and earns a respectable four stars.
 

When the surround channels are engaged, they are generally restricted to music and subtle background effects, although there were a handful of discrete surround effects. The LFE channel is used to support more dramatic scenes, but remains quiet most of the time; even when used, bass from the LFE channel isn't deep, but still manages to complement the front channels well.

Dialogue is clear and easy to understand, but several scenes suffer from noticeable pegging distortion. This is a perfectly acceptable soundtrack considering the nature of the film, but certainly won't test the capabilities of your audio system. Three and a half stars.
