Anyway, this winner of seven Oscars has arrived on Superbit
DVD and it looks sumptuous. Mind you, the original DVD was
pretty special visually, but this does crank it up in both
look and sound.
The DTS soundtrack is very good, but is not that superior
to the original 5.1, although it does give more solidity to
the dialogue.
Picture-wise, this version still has a few problems with
aliasing - where the image shimmers over finely detailed areas.
In fact the thatched roof of the Globe in the opening shots
is quite bad and sets your brain to picking out just about
every other instance it sees.
They mainly come in the straw-covered streets and the gorgeous
costumes being worn.
As said, once I got the first screenful it became a little
annoying that these got past quality control in a Superbit
disc.
Conclusion: Movie: 90%
