| Quote: | ‘My Way’ was one of my favorite films of 2012 and is one of the best war films ever made. Its attention to detail and character is astounding. The video and audio presentations are demo-worthy, however I wish the extras were longer and that there was more of them. Maybe the studio is holding out for an ultimate edition. Despite the extras, this is a MUST OWN and receives my highest recommendation.
The Video: Sizing Up the Picture
‘My Way’ is has a glorious 1080p HD transfer and is presented in 2.35:1 aspect ratio. this film looks incredible in HD. The colors are rich and vibrant with the detail very sharp and clear. You can make out every scar, hair follicle, and thread of clothing on this one. The blacks run deep and inky with no evidence of crushed shadows.
The depth of this epic war film is amazing and everyone and every object look top notch on screen. You will notice, as to transfer our minds into the past with flashbacks, and some of the intense war battles, that the color hues change a bit, but that was the point. I did not notice any aliasing or edge enhancement with this release. I’d say this is demo-worthy.
The Audio: Rating the Sound
The audio presentation on this disc is just as good as the video, meaning it is also top notch. You can choose between Korean and English on either lossless DTS-HD 5.1 audio mixes and Dolby Digital 2.0 audio mixes. Your full set of speakers will get a big workout from this awesome audio presentation. The dialogue is crystal clear and is mostly centered on the fronts, but since being a war film, there is dialogue coming in from all over - so you will hear it on all speakers. Plus, you will hear the dialogue in Korean, english, German, and Russian, which all sound great. The ambient noises and sound effects are killer, too, no pun intended.
The bullets whizzing by, explosions, debris, and screams are all distributed perfectly across the channels throughout the surrounds. It actually feels like you’re in a war zone. The bass will rattle the walls and floors of your place and packs quite a punch. The score is epic and sounds fantastic, and never drowns out the dialogue or sound effects. Again, a demo-worthy presentation of audio. |
