VIDEO \u2013 3.75\/5<\/strong><\/h2>\n

<\/em><\/strong><\/em><\/strong>Mill Creek releases \u201cJFK: A New World Order\u201d<\/b> onto Blu-ray presented with a 1.85 widescreen aspect ratio and a 1080p high-def transfer. The picture all in all is OK especially for the interview footage and some of the archival photographs. The footage portions of course don\u2019t look the best but that\u2019s no fault of the transfer.

AUDIO \u2013 3.0\/5<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The disc only includes a standard Dolby Digital Stereo track which is satisfactory given the source material but nothing special. This is the type of audio that would better on your ears if pumped through your standard television speakers if available or tuned down on the audio system.<\/p>\n
