A Mighty Heart Blu-ray
DreamWorks | 2007 | 108 mins | Rated R | Mar 24, 2009
A Mighty Heart(2007)Biography | Drama | History | Thriller     After her husband, Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl (Dan Futterman, Urbania), is kidnapped by terrorists, Mariane (Jolie) heads a desperate search for clues in a frantic race against time to locate her missing husband. Directed by maverick filmmaker Michael Winterbottom (The Road To Guantanamo), A Mighty Heart is a gripping story of faith, hope and courage in the face of tragedy. For more details about A Mighty Heart on Blu-ray, see the A Mighty Heart Blu-ray Review A Mighty Heart Blu-ray, Video Quality  Shot on digital video with an intended look that can only be described as “gritty,” A Mighty Heart arrives on Blu-ray courtesy of an accurate 1080p, AVC Mpeg-4 transfer, that maintains the movie’s original theatrical aspect ratio of 2.35:1. A Mighty Heart will probably end up being somewhat of a controversial release on Blu-ray; the photography is noisy and an extensive amount of artificial grain has been utilized. In addition, the picture is practically monochromatic throughout the film, resulting in a nearly sepia-tone look. Given the heavy amount of grain/noise, A Mighty Heart lacks a great deal of fine detail. Some shots do clear up a bit, but the majority of the movie takes place in darkened settings that amplify the already ample noise. Given the aforementioned monochromatic quality of the picture, any judgment of color accuracy would be pointless. In spite of these potential issues, I believe that A Mighty Heart accurately represents the intent of the filmmakers, much like the oft maligned Blu-ray of Miami Vice, a film with a similar visual style. A Mighty Heart just wasn’t ever intended to be conventionally pretty, a factor that elevates this presentation considerably, earning the title an easy recommendation. A Mighty Heart Blu-ray, Audio Quality  There’s a lot to like about the soundtrack to A Mighty Heart; it’s an effective exercise in efficient sound design that manages to move the story along while keeping viewers’ attention firmly in the action. Presented in 5.1 Dolby TrueHD, the source material is presented as accurately as possible, never missing a beat. Dialogue is of primary importance in A Mighty Heart; it’s delivered intelligibly from the center channel and never dissipates into static or hard to decipher passages. Rear surround activity appears sporadically throughout the film, adding a nice sense of ambience to the proceedings. While A Mighty Heart isn’t groundbreaking or particularly exciting, this Blu-ray does its job admirably. Recommended.
