Kino Lorber releases Armageddon onto Blu-ray presented in its original 1.66 widescreen aspect ratio. No mention of any restoration so I assume the 1080p high-definition transfer was provided by StudioCanal, but still looks quite good throughout. The picture is sharp and colors well balanced with only some minor specs however nothing overly noticeable or distracting. The included French language DTS-HD Master Audio 2.0 track offers up clear dialogue and any of the suspense-filled scenes do have some decent depth for a stereo lossless track. There were no obvious signs of pops or hissing so sounds really good for a movie 40+ years old now. |
