The image

Exceptional! Difficult to reproach anything this pressing which
illuminates the screen of its splendour. The definition is palpable in
each plan, it is dense, deep, rich and extremely present at the
screen. Piqué is absolutely impressing that it is on the plane
first, seconds or back, it is rare to obtain something of also
powerful and constant over the duration. Not a scene which is not
failing, always of a precision inouie, to cross to the knife! The
depth and the effect 3d which rise from that are very marked and offer
an idyllic vision of film, plunging you in the heart of the action
and its many mysteries. Nothing to waste, compression misses
completely pressing, it is limpid with wishes. One manages to see with
precision the remote plane backs, the peak of the mountains in the
landscapes or each detail of the rich and worked decorations. The
depth of the scene seems infinite on certain passages... The level of
contrast is particularly good, the blacks are ultra powerful, offering
an ECRIN of dream and a dynamics to the image which leave dreamers.
The grey scale is of a legibility without fault, the film, made in
natural lights essentially, posting however plans particularly
difficult to return, bathed in a black major and wonderfull....
The luminosity is superbly adapted, sometimes weak for more mystery,
sometimes imposing on outsides days, and all the time remarkably
controlled to offer best film. Colorimetry is particularly beautiful
and astonishing. One finds here all the advantages of pressings HD,
with a richness of welcome expression. NOLAN often works on tone
partially die-saturated and this work, with Victorienne
environment, is found there grown (one thinks of the OLIVER TWIST
of POLANSKI)... The blacks are very frank and powerful but the
chestnuts which accompany all that post remarkable diversities.
Sometimes, the primary educations spout out darkness and come to
illuminate a scene, certain reds, the purple one of a costume, the
yellows of bulbs planted into full fields etc... It is a fairyhood of
each moment, one includes/understands better the choice of the
realizer to film in natural light and camera with the shoulder when
one sees the splendid result with the screen... Concerning the defect,
one seeks in vain, nothing, not grain more than of necessary, no video
noise, a clean and completely immaculate master, in short, the
nirvana. The encoding is superb, extra fluidity and one finds oneself,
with final, with a product finished exceptionally well. One could only
to recommend it you...
sorry, the soft of translation can not do better :o

It's sad that this didn't get a lossless track.

It's sad that this didn't get a lossless track.Definately a downer. I'd love to hear those Tesla lightning strikes in TrueHD.

Yeah this import is one of my favorites now. Even in DD+ it sounds stunning, and it goes without saying the PQ is fantastic. Cool movie too.
