| Video: The image is presented fullframe which I understand to be the original aspect ratio for the film, and as such, it isn't enhanced for widescreen sets. The quality of the image varies from one scene to another often depending on lighting and what format was used to capture the moment but overall it is a pretty decent picture that we're left with. There is some mild edge enhancement and one or two scenes that exhibit some mild compression artifacts but there aren't any problems with print damage or dirt on the picture and the color reproduction isn't half bad either. Not a perfect transfer, but a good one.
Sound: You've got the option of watching the film in either its native Korean language or in a dubbed Cantonese version, both mixes presented in Dolby Digital 2.0 Surround Sound with optional subtitles made available in English, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese. Overall the mix is fine. The score and sound effects sound nice and realistic and the dialogue is clean and clear without any problems. It would have been nice to see the Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Sound mix off of the Korean DVD release ported over to this disc, but that didn't happen for whatever reason.
Extras: Unfortunately, this disc is completely barebones – no trailers or previews for other DVD releases are even included. |
