VIDEO \u2013 4.5\/5<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Screen Archives releases Kings Go Forth<\/em><\/strong> onto Blu-ray shown in its original 1.85 widescreen aspect ratio and given a well done 1080p high-definition transfer. The film looks pretty damn good with stark black and white which shows no major signs of artifacts and aliasing and while there were some scratch marks, it\u2019s nothing overabundant or distracting.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

AUDIO \u2013 3.75\/5<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

The disc comes with an adequate but still effective DTS-HD Master Audio Mono track which has crisp and clear dialogue levels throughout and when we do get some war action sequences, the track still is quite efficient and has some decent range even being relegated to one channel.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
