VIDEO \u2013 3.5\/5<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Olive Films releases At First Sight<\/em><\/strong> presented with a 1080p high-definition transfer (MPEG-4 AVC codec) and shown in its original 1.85 widescreen aspect ratio. It\u2019s not a terrible looking transfer yet many scenes appear soft and there were several instances of dust marks and scratches. Detail on close-up shots was decent enough, however, so it\u2019s at least serviceable.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

AUDIO \u2013 3.5\/5<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Along the same lines, the DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 track is functional enough providing for good dialogue levels and the romantic and dramatic score comes through fairly well though it\u2019s not exactly a dynamic or well rounded lossless track. That said, it\u2019s not bad just nothing noteworthy.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
