The first DVD for Memento, released shortly after its theatrical run, was a decent disc with fine picture and sound, but somewhat weak on special features. For its second release on DVD, Columbia TriStar has made amends for those omissions. First, though, the image is flawless. The anamorphic 1.85:1 picture, even for a relatively low-budget film, is impeccable with solid blacks and colors that are vivid. The black-and-white segments are also perfectly realized, retaining the grainy look of the theatrical presentation. Equally strong is the sound, in both Dolby Digital and DTS formats, with just the right use of the surround speakers, and clear representation in the front. Dialogue and effects are distinct and show no signs of distortion. As mentioned, the supplemental features on this disc are plentiful, but it's a double-edged sword. This two-disc set includes a new commentary track on the first disc from director Christopher Nolan, but the second disc stores the majority of the extras, including production sketches and photographs, trailers, a featurette, the script, poster art, and the original story Memento Mori. Also included are a number of unadvertised features such as bootleg cover art, a props gallery, concept art, and most importantly, a chronologically ordered version of the film. All of that is undeniably impressive, and while the programmers for this disc have done everything they can to be creative, accessing these extra features is thoroughly annoying. The menus, which comprise of intricate puzzles, are so complicated that the majority of viewers might just find themselves watching the movie and ignoring all of the fascinating special features. In addition, the packaging, while unique, is not ideal, with the disc housed in a paper cover, and rather difficult to remove. Even with its flaws, this is a mighty impressive re-release.
