| Deltamac presents the film in an aspect ratio of 1.78:1, with anamorphic enhancement. Nothing to complain about here as detail, blacks and sharpness are excellent. Expectedly for a new film the print is spotless as well.
An expansive and involving Cantonese Dolby Digital EX 5.1 track serves the film well. Cantonese DTS-ES and Mandarin Dolby Digital EX 5.1 options are also included.
The English subtitles are free of errors of the obvious kind but do play over a scene 12 minutes in that is clearly designed to be sans dialogue. Traditional Chinese subtitles are also available.
Released as a 2 disc set, first platter has the subtitled theatrical trailer while the remainder can be found on the second platter (also equipped with optional English subtitles aside from the TV spots). The Making Of (10 minutes, 2 seconds) sees actors talking characters, themes, praising Wilson Yip while the action directing gets an examination in terms of influences. Mostly a superficial program but some of the shots from the set are cool to have.
Press Conference (22 minutes, 28 seconds) is a largely un-edited and stale affair while the actors at hand are not there to go really go in-depth but only to provide some encouraging talk of anticipation for the flick. 4 TV spots and an animated Photo Gallery (11 minutes, 27 seconds) comes next. Why companies insist on not giving viewer control over this latter feature I have a theory on but I still reserve the right to find the execution featured here unacceptable. At any rate, it finishes this rather light package. |
