The movie was a bit eerie given the current political tension in North Korea regarding ballistic missiles and nuclear weapon. The film seemed comic like at times but featured fine battle scenes. The picture looked very sharp and 3D. The 2.35:1 1080p24 scope picture was encoded in AVC and featured both German and Korean in dts HD HR 5.1 (no lossless audio). German and Dutch subtitles were defeatable. Unfortunately there is no English subtitles. Full set of supplements included making of featuretts, historical reconstruction of shingijeon (rocket powered fire arrows), interviews, and trailers.

The disc is encoded for Region B (confirmed).
