Dreamworks
Flat 1.85
SRD / SDDS / DTS / SR
6 Reels

Technicolor

TES

Attached trailer: "Catch Me If You Can" (by depot)
Loose trailers:"Phone Booth", "Darkness Falls", "The Recruit"

ALSO NOTE: Dreamworks played around with their logo again, like
"Minority Report". This time the logo has video type glitches in it. (The film deals with a video tape) They are so funny.

BEWARE OF DARK FRAMELINES ON THIS PICTURE.
I had to repair a Hack job, someone did to this print.

Also BEWARE...

Tail of last reel printed "SCOPE"... picture is flat.

The print I received for screening was also really hacked, and very dark.

For what it's worth, my screening print didn't have the attached trailer.

One of the copies that we got says "rear captioned" on it. Does anyone know what this means?

Both of my prints had no trailer attached even though I should have had "Catch me if you can" attached on both

This means the print has the decoding for Rear Window/DVS (Descriptive Video Service), which runs subtitling for the deaf via a reflective panel attached to the theater seat.

The Dolby Website has this as a Surround EX film. Can anyone confirm that?
