I hate Bay's photography.
Whats wrong with natural skin tones? Why must grain present itself where no mood in film is present?
While I hate Bay's style of shooting these films the only real issue with the transfer is a few scenes with low contrast.

Personal hates,

Everyone person looks like they are painted red.
Grain, mixed with Blue hue = 0 fine detail.
Every shot where Sam & the girl get intimate the film suddenly goes out of focus.

The audio is almost perfect. I didn't care for the dilalog. Someone turned off the treble during mixing or something.

Good film, I can see why Criterion choose to release it. I didn't dive into any features (there are plenty)
Its basically about, well, The Last Emperor of China. From birth to death we get to see the child at age 3 be crowned & grow up in the forbidden city. As he ages, he feels more of a prisoner because he can not leave even though he has absolute power over everyone. For someone who has everything & always will, it comes at a price of complete freedom. Educated on current events, he soon realizes his power of absolute ruler has boundaries & other leaders around the world have even greater ruler-ship. Because of this he sets out to achieve a greater purpose in his life but the world he knows does not acknowledge him the way he was raised.

For a film shot over 20 years ago this Blu-Ray transfer is quite solid. Preserving the Director's intended aspect ratio (2.00:1) the film exhibits minor contrast issues & some poor color saturation. Other than that most of the film is sharp & well defined with brief moments of softness & intention grain.

The audio comes with a dts-HDMA stereo track. Once again, a choice obviously for film purists. Dialog sounds a bit dated with no real sense of warmth. I didn't detect any DR compression & balance is evenly mixed throughout. Not a track that will bug the neighbours for sure since the LFE channel is MIA & surrounds are not present but for this type of film that never was a concern & overall I enjoyed the subtle track for what its worth.
