Oh yeah, I have waited a long time for this excellent bit of story telling, and the wait has been worth it!
It's the story of an american gun boat that gets caught in the middle of China's civil war, mix in the correct amount of drama and romance, and you have one for the ages.
Fox has done a nice job with this transfer, there is a slight amount of edge enhancement here and there but nothing to distract from the movie. The fleshtones are correct, colors well saturated.
The soundtrack is good, but nothing more, it's 4.0 surround, and in a couple spots things get alittle muddy, but all in all not bad.
If you want a realistic story, that is interesting from start to finish this is a classic. It's a situation driven story with a couple of memorable characters (Mcqueen and Crenna) In Holman's case (Mcqueen) you're trying to figure out if he's a rebel, or just a guy with alot of backbone...in Crenna's case (captain of the boat) you wonder if he's a great speaker of heroics, or if his actions can back up his speeches.
As aways Robert Wise created a winner!
Can't recommend this one high enough!
