i totally agree about the scenes inside the ship where you could actually hear people where they would be standing. i was pretty shocked at how precise the sound was. (new pre/pro helped some im sure). most of the dialog was a tad low, but the fight scenes more than made up for that. i dare say its the most realistic surround sound from a dvd that i have heard to date. i, of course, listened to the dvd in dts, im sure dolby digital is not quite as good of a playback...
