| Universe's presents the movie in what seemed more closely to 1.90:1 to me. The picture quality is ok for this 1998 production. Damages to the print are kept to a minimum but I thought a general softness plagued the picture. It's perfectly watchable though and Universe rarely gives us anything less than that.
The cantonese Dolby Digital 5.1 track is good and makes use of all speakers to average effect. I say that because I thought the mix was a bit too agressive on ambient sounds on a few ocassions. It's nothing that will detract from the listening experience but it's still worth mentioning. A mandarin 5.1 dub is also included.
The english subtitles are at times quite good but also sometimes pretty bad in terms of grammatical errors. The content is there but some choice of wording was pretty awful. Traditional and simplified chinese subtitles are also provided. Again Universe has choosen to put part of the subtitles on the black border and I wish they would be more consistent in this area since some of their titles have subs that appear on the picture frame only.
Extras consists of the theatrical trailer and star files for Sandra Ng, Kristy Yeung and Shu Qi |
