Review:Video: Totally washed out and hazy picture. Eros's tryst with incorrect black levels continues. The color saturation and hue are very inconsistent and vary greatly, scene to scene. Heavy DNR has been used, rendering the picture very soft along with being very dull and lifeless.
Audio: Waaay too loud. This too is a consistent problem with Eros blu-rays. The overall audio quality, other than the high levels issue, is pretty good and the sound mix too is quite active.
