The English DTS Master Audio mix is immersive, but I found the LFE a little weak, but when it did erupt, it had a "muddy" sound on my 7.4 (4 x Butt Kicker) system.

Movie: 3.5 out of 5
PQ: 4.5 out of 5
AQ: 3.75 out of 5
3D: 4.5 out of 5

Recommended for all 3D fans, but keep in mind the German release is region B locked.

That's interesting that you found the low end to be on he weak side. I didn't notice it being that way but since I'm looking forward to seeing this again, I will pay closer attention next time. I give the picture quality a 5 as well as the 3D.
