      Yeah, now it's widescreen but apparently the audio was provided in stereo (the previous one was 5.1, though, I checked)... sigh. I reported this...

      Ironically, turns out it won't make all that much of a difference if re-encoded with 5.1, as Zemekis didn't really use the surround channels by intent (not sure why, some artistic thing I guess...) Apparently a bunch of people on the AVS forums who get the DVD/BD complain their surround is broken until someone points this out http://www.avsforum.com/t/50013/no-s...n-forrest-gump

        Interesting. I thought I heard the expected sounds from the rear speakers on my 5.1 DVD. Maybe I didn't. It does sound acceptable in another surround mode on my stereo. It's too bad that the soundtrack isn't encoded up to par.

          Just noticed that an updated version was completed today (with 2.35:1 OAR and DD+ 5.1). Should be out sometime this afternoon.
