The movie, being direct-to-video, looks it and appears to have been shot digitally so it has a very glossy tone. Colors are generally fine though skin tones do have somewhat of a waxy texture. The transfer itself, though, is clean, free of aliasing and artifacts.<br \/>\n<a name=\"audio\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" title=\"*\" src=\"http:\/\/www.moviemansguide.com\/images\/main\/bar_blue.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"650\" height=\"3\" \/><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>AUDIO \u2013 3.0\/5<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The 5.1 DTS-HD Master Audio track is rather basic with OK dialogue levels but the action centric scenes are pretty flat and don\u2019t show off much depth.
