I have the 2001 DVD, and I always, always watch it with the mono track. I can't stand the new, modern replacement sound effects, especially the gunshots. Why is it that the replacement gunshots in these 5.1 remixes always sound like the guns have silencers?
Not only is the remix full of new, out-of-place effects, but there are parts where the music is mixed all wrong. Why is the droning arpeggio in the future war prologue mixed so far back as to be almost inaudible? What happened to those awesome sounds of scraping metal in the main title?
This is right up there with Superman as one of the most infuriating 5.1 remixes I've ever heard. Glad to hear that someone's preserving the uncompressed PCM mono from laser.
