| This Widesight disc is actually one of their better looking ones. It's not quite framed at 1.85:1 but the burned in subtitles never get cut off at the sides. It has good colours, very little specks but is a bit soft.
Sounds comes in Cantonese and Mandarin Dolby Digital 5.1. I didn't listen to the latter but the Cantonese track was so poorly mixed that the dialogue was mostly heard in the surrounds speakers! I ended up connecting the sound to my TV instead where it sounded much better. Inexcusable but at least the track has no added foley effect like other companies 5.1 remixes.
The English subtitles are burned in and features quite a bit of silly errors and inaccuracies. They tend to slip below the letterbox frame on occasions which of course is a distraction. Could still follow what was going on during those times though. Only a plot synopsis screen is provided i.e. no real extras. |
