Letters from Iwo Jima (2007) [Z1 Y11299]Arrived today new/sealed
Again nice directed film from Clint Eastwood.
This sees the point of view of the "pacific war" from the Japanese soldiers that thought and died and some brutally abused by superiors.
Picture colour like Flags of Our Fathers is muted in colour and delivers nicely.
No snags or trouble with Warner HD-DVD it played flawlessly.
Sound ranges down to below 20Hz so won't disappoint.
The tunnel scenes when being bombarded works well with a matrix overhead surround but the martix can only decode what it sees and steers around as well as the below matrix surround in my home cinema.
A few odd rare dialouge pans at Left or Right now and then.
Gun fire attacks have a good frequency range way too many to explain and are often short scenes lasting a couple of minutes. The film story is mostly driven by dialouge/narration that is clearly understood in Japanese, with text subtitles that often appear in the black board or over the scope framing.
