The film's Dolby 5.1 mix reflects the care director Singer and editor / composer Ottman invested in the various sound effects, overlapping dialogue, and
orchestral soundtrack elements, and the mix faithfully recreates the original theatrical experience.
This is a cinematically holistic work of diversity, in which cultural identity has been carefully woven into every
element of the movie: a cast almost exclusively made up of people of color; a costume design based on traditional African jewelry and garments; a
soundtrack that, at its best, puts a damper on the usual
orchestral bombast and allows chanting or drumming to dominate.
