It's a shame that the audio is screwed up.

The Audio: Rating the Sound

For the most part, the lossless English DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 track on this Blu-ray is a powerfully robust one, but at times it does suffer from a somewhat disappointing imbalance that really could have (and should have) been better.

My biggest complaint with the whole mix is that the dialogue is considerably softer than most other releases. Right from the get-go during the scenes in Africa, the volume needs to be cranked up a few notches more than the norm to hear every spoken word clearly, and then when we're treated to bombing air strikes it is quite jarring to say the least. Surround usage is great, though, as is the presence from the LFE channel and John Ottman's score. Sadly, if only the center channel was tweaked properly we could have had a real winner here.
