Angels & Demons Blu-ray
Angels and Demons / Theatrical and Extended EditionSony Pictures | 2009 | 146 mins | Rated PG-13 | Nov 24, 2009
Angels & Demons(2009)Crime | Drama | Mystery | Thriller     Tom Hanks reprises his role from the 2006 film 'The Da Vinci Code' as Harvard symbologist and religious expert Robert Langdon, who works alongside the beautiful Vittoria (Ayelet Zurer) to unravel the clues behind a priest's murder and prevent a terrorist act against the Vatican by resurgents of an ancient secret brotherhood known as the Illuminati, the most powerful underground organisation in history. For more details about Angels & Demons on Blu-ray, see the Angels & Demons Blu-ray Review Starring: Tom Hanks, Ewan McGregor, Stellan Skarsgård Director: Ron Howard Angels & Demons Blu-ray, Video Quality  This Blu-ray release of Angels & Demons offers a fantastic 1080p, 2.40:1-framed transfer. From the beginning, the strength of the image becomes evident at the late Pope's funeral. Colors here, and elsewhere, are beautifully rendered, with the red shades in particular dominating the screen. Angels & Demons isn't an abundantly colorful film, however. The daytime exterior shots do offer a nice selection of hues found in backgrounds, but this is an earth-tone and red-dominated film; walls, floors, and buildings all seem to be of a sandy or brown shade. Nevertheless, it all comes together beautifully, and the transfer displays its colors in an exceptional field of view that remains clear and deep. Detail is excellent throughout as well; whether the sleek and modern lines of the Large Hadron Collider or the deepest and most ancient chasms within the Vatican, Angels & Demons features exceptional depth, detail, and texture in most every scene. Viewers will note the rough and slightly uneven stone tiles outside the Vatican, the wonderful clarity and texture of the buildings in several breathtaking overhead shots, or the smoothness and intricate detail of marble columns in another scene. Fine detail in faces, too, rarely fails to impress; some of the older religious leaders in particular share plenty of fine detail in wrinkly faces. Angels & Demons features plenty of dark and murky locations, and while blacks generally remain good, they can unnaturally brighten on occasion. Fortunately, the transfer handles these shots expertly, with only a hint of banding in a few places and no discernible blocking. With a subtle layer of grain that puts the finishing touches on a strong film-like transfer, Angels & Demons makes for another winning transfer from Sony. Angels & Demons Blu-ray, Audio Quality Angels & Demons delivers a sinfully wonderful DTS-HD MA 5.1 lossless soundtrack. Every note of music is replayed with authority; from the deepest, devilishly-good bowels of the low end to the crystal-clear angelic highs, the music enjoys pristine and lifelike clarity throughout. In fact, Hans Zimmer's score seems incredibly organic; music seems not to stem from a detached orchestra but instead flows from the locations seen on-screen. It's a rare sensation to enjoy a score that so precisely fits in with the material, and Zimmer has pulled it off here, and the Blu-ray's capability of delivering each note with pinpoint accuracy, clarity, and volume does wonders for both the score and the film. Elsewhere, the particle movement inside the Collider delivers a remarkable whooshing sensation as it travels at high speed through the soundstage, and never does the track falter in delivering anything but the most pinpoint clarity through this entire mind-blowing sonic sequence. Supporting surround use is one of the track's strengths; whether more aggressive instances such as a helicopter buzzing across the soundstage or more subtle atmospherics -- dripping water, fluttering birds, or general crowd din outside the Vatican -- Angels & Demons never fails to deliver a satisfying and immersive listen. Save for a few mumbled lines that seem the fault of the actors and not the soundtrack, dialogue in Angels & Demons is accompanied by a hint of bass but nevertheless sounds clear and crisp. Angels & Demons' lossless soundtrack is, perhaps, the disc's -- and the film's -- strongest asset.
