Picture:
Picture 94% Starts in the evening and finishes late into the night. Sound:
sound 92% recording is superb and you feel as if you are there in the audience. It's the best music Bluray we have seen.
Picture:
90%, if it where not for the greenish/ yellow hue in the opening chapters we would have rated this higher, very good never the less. Sound:
91% Very good, just make sure your amplifier is showing DTS HD Master on the display.
Following on from Batman Begins, director Christopher Nolan and Christian Bale reunite for The Dark Knight.
Picture:
98% As good as it gets, use of full frame cameras in some scenes gets the full 100%, our reference Bluray Sound:
98% Perfection from start to finish.
Picture:
78% Opening scenes all very good, we put this down to all being shot in a large studio with good lighting. Sound:
82% No DTS although superb sound, chapter 22 is destined to become a favourite demo scene, music in the background very much like "Heat"
