Immortal Blu-ray audio problem

Does anyone else own this disc? On the back cover, it states that it is supposed to have a Dolby TrueHD soundtrack, but when I played it last night, There were only two 2 channel tracks. I'm wondering if this is a more widespread problem. Thanks!

This review confirms 2-channel audio only:

The audio presentation is also a miss. The back cover states a Dolby TrueHD 5.1 mix and a DTS logo. Unfortunately the soundtracks are limited to a Dolby TrueHD stereo mix and a standard Dolby Stereo mix. The TrueHD mix is pretty bad with hard panning to the left and right speakers and poor imaging across the main soundstage. I tried this disc with two players and a SSP that could decode and the results were the same every time. Most of the dialogue is panned to the right main speaker and visual cues don’t match the soundstage at all. The track also lacks any real dynamics and instead comes off as overly loud and bright. Switching to the Dolby Stereo track was a big improvement as imaging came together far better, especially with the dialogue. I honestly don’t know what went wrong here.
The DVD had both DD and DTS 5.1. Looks like somebody screwed up.

Thank you. I will be forming my complaint to the production company shortly.

The BD is also missing subtitles for foreign dialog. You have to manually turn on the English SDH subtitles during those scenes to know what's being said.
