| Dragon Dynasty's new DVD does a solid, if unspectacular, job in presenting the movie. The menus aren't anything fancy, but serviceable enough to navigate around. The picture is very nice for the most part, with sharp edges and good color saturation. As for the soundtrack, the Dolby 5.1 mix works well on both the original Mandarin and new English dub. The subtitles are easy to read and solidly translated for the most part.
What takes this DVD down a notch compared to most of Dragon Dynasty's other releases are the extras, or rather, the lack of them. There are only two included: a decent twenty-five minute making-of featurette, and a commentary from Dragon Dynasty regular Bey Logan. Neither extra adds a whole lot to the experience, but they're nothing terrible, either. Overall, if you're looking for a copy of this movie on DVD, this should fit the bill if you're not expecting too much bang for the buck. |
