Excellent transfer, the best traffic has ever looked. And, the double sided disc (Blu-ray on one side, DVD on the other) works just as well as a single sided one; there is no rational reason to complain about them - especially when given the cost they are much cheaper than most packages that include a seperate DVD.

I was initially concerned when I got the disc as I figure both versions would be single layer This is not true, both the DVD and Blu-Ray are double layer, so in essence the disc has 4 layers. I can't find really any reason to complain about getting a double sided disc instead of 2 singe sided discs.

The quality is fine. The movie is noticeably grainier than a lot of other movies, but I think this was intentional for cinematic effect and is part of the movie. You can tell as parts of it are grainier, and harsher in appearance. Like for instance most of the Tijuana scenes are quite rough.

I don't mind if the BluRay is double sided or if they offer two or more Discs. I do care about buying a movie in BluRay movie and get subpar quality.
The movie is VERY good, the audio (DTS 5.1) and subtitles are VERY good.
The video quality is very poor, I know the film was supposed to be grainy, I own the DVD and I saw the movie in the Theaters, but the transfer makes the grain move like ants.
IF, in the future, Universal decides to take things seriously and make a better transfer; I'll buy it because the movie is so good.
Meanwhile, I think I prefer to watch it on DVD than in BluRay.

I love it when movies are released in BluRay format, I really can't wait for many titles to be released in this format, but please, Studios should build credibility for this format by doing it RIGHT, not just GOOD ENOUGH. Is this the new AMERICAN Mentality?

Universal, for some reason, has elected to continue to produce these double sided disks that contains the Blu-ray movie on one side and the DVD on the flip-side. Why is it that Universal cannot follow in Disney's lead and release these movies as two disk sets. Disney has combo disks that contains the Blu ray and DVD version in the same release, but the DVD and Blu ray disks are on separate disks, utilizing single sided disks.

I seriously do NOT recommend this item for purchase.
