Suprisingly, the picture quality on this one is some of the best I've ever seen. Everyones faces are crisp and in focus. Definitely add this to your PQ reference. The DTS sound is great too. There's usually some ominous music building up in the surrounds to set the mood.

MAKE SURE to watch the theatrical trailer that is included in the extras. It has some of the best spatialization effects during a particular scene where the whole screen goes dark and you just get pure ear candy. It really sounded like somebody was walking behind me then around the room, very cool.

Regards,

    Glad you finally checked it out. I feel the same about the trailer (see my comments). Some of Dolby's finest work.

    Yeah, finally saw it. Borrowed it from a friend. I will probably buy it soon. Its worth owning just for the trailer, it demonstrates what surround sound is all about.

    The Scorpion King has very good p/q also. One of best I have seen. Check the scene where he is buried in the ground and the fire ants come out. I agree with you also about the p/q on Texas Chainsaw Massacre.
