The disc is not region coded and is released on the Universal label. Image quality has been widely praised although i was never blown away by what i was watching but it most likely represents the filmed source material. If your system is not properly calibrated you may spot some compression artifacts on walls and faces.

The disc file size is around 14.5GB and for some reason this is split into three separate chunks consisting of 9.48GB, 3.95GB and 1.14GB files. The reason the files are split is probably because you get the original theatrical edition or an extended edition of the movie on this disc. The film was shot using low grain Fuji film stock.

Sound quality was very good with constant use of the split surrounds. Speech was always clear and easy to hear. The subwoofer kicks in for some scenes and aids the music score and is very deep and aggressive. I feel a little filtering and grain removal has gone on in order to make the movie easier to encode at such a low file size. I do not think it impacts too much on this film but thats just my opinion and i have added the film to my minor issues list which you can view by clicking here.
