Title: Great move, muddy audio
Review: Don't need to review the movie itself: if you are a fan of "Grease," you don't need to be sold on its pleasures. The Blu-ray "Rockin' Rydell Edition," however, requires some comment.The overall picture is very good: colors are sharp, not overly saturated, good detail. No complaints -- the video transfer is pleasing.The AUDIO, on the other hand, is awful. The soundtrack musical numbers are clear and actually improved upon in 5.1 surround. But the dialog track is astonishingly muddy. There is a noticeable difference between the audio quality of the dialog and that of the musical numbers. I thought it was just my imagination until, after viewing, my wife made a comment about how hard it was to hear the dialog. This was a major disappointment, and for that reason, I would not recommend the Blu-ray edition.Haven't watched all of the extras yet, but they are as expected, fun but nothing you probably didn't already know if you are a fan of the film.
