| Universe's dvd presentation is either excellent or a little flawed. The 1.85:1 print is very clean but has a slight softness and darkness to it. Especially the latter almost dominate a few scenes. It could be very intentional though, you be the judge.
The Cantonese 5.1 Dolby Digital track functions really well. There's much talk but some sound effects and tension filled scenes use the front stage in a very good way. Surrounds are used for stuff like rain but sometimes feels mixed a bit to high. A Mandarin 5.1 dub is also included.
The English subtitles were generally pretty excellent. Just a few minor errors occurred but sadly they were placed partially on the black lower bar, which makes us widescreen owners very angry (can't zoom in fully). Traditional and simplified Chinese subtitles are also included.
The usual Universe extras turn up on this dvd as well. The Star's Files for actors Anita Yuen, Alex Fong, Francis Ng and producer Derek Yee provide very basic info and filmographies and we also get the theatrical trailer for Till Death Do Us Part and Anna Magdalena. |
