BLU-RAY: The film is presented in widescreen in a 1.78:1 aspect ration preserving its theatrical format. The picture is acceptable, but I was expecting more. The picture doesn't offer the quality that you would expect in this type of films; however is acceptable. The blu-ray offers a sound it is good, a 5.1 Dolby Digital in multiple languages options (see below for details) that provides a good complement to the picture. It also includes multiple language subtitles option.
