For a comic book movie, i was actually pleasantly surprised.

I might've preferred a more "historically accurate" rendition of the battle of Thermopylae (sp?) but then again, I don't what else might look "historically accurate". I haven't seen the comic book so I don't how closely it follows it.

I'm intrigued by your observations on TrueHD. My impression was it's a variation of the MLP used for DVD-A using "lossless" audio compression. In theory, there should have been no difference between PCM and a "lossless" algorithm which is "unpacked" to PCM upon playback. Your observations suggest otherwise. Or is it possible that the particular TrueHD decoder used isn't really transparent and up to the job ?
