Atlas Shrugged: Part I(2011)
It was great to be alive, once, but the world was perishing. Factories were shutting down, transportation was grinding to a halt, granaries were empty--and key people who had once kept it running were disappearing all over the country. As the lights winked out and the cities went cold, nothing was left to anyone but misery. No one knew how to stop it, no one understood why it was happening - except one woman, the operating executive of a once mighty transcontinental railroad, who suspects the answer may rest with a remarkable invention and the man who created it - a man who once said he would stop the motor of the world. Everything now depends on finding him and discovering the answer to the question on the lips of everyone as they whisper it in fear: Who *is* John Galt?

The film's rather bland, sometimes overly bright lighting gives it the cheap look of a made-for-TV movie. Still, technically, there's not much wrong with the 1080p/AVC-encoded transfer presented here. Video noise is visible in darker scenes but kept to a minimum, there are no halo-ish byproducts of edge enhancement, no DNR smearing, and no blatant compression-related issues. This is a solid encode. You can't complain about clarity, either. While there are certainly a few soft shots, most scenes are more than adequately sharp, with fine high definition detail easily visible in facial texture, hair definition, and other areas where you normally look for it. Color is generally bold, warm, and well-saturated too, but the flat lighting really isn't doing the film any favors. The picture rarely looks appropriately cinematic. Black levels can crush shadow detail at times—especially in dark interiors —but contrast during outdoor and daylight scenes is spot on. This isn't exactly eye candy, but I can't fault the encode for the film's chintzy cinematography and set design. Atlas Shrugged: Part I Blu-ray, Audio QualitySimilarly, the modestly-budgeted movie features expectedly underwhelming sound design, although it all comes through decently enough via a lossless DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 surround track. Most of the time, the soundfield feels decidedly empty and front-heavy, with little environmental ambience and few cross-channels effects beyond the occasional zipping to and fro of the Taggart Transcontinental trains. The rear speakers really only get used for the swelling of the film's orchestral score, which veers between ominous and triumphant and sounds fairly rich, with good bass response and clarity throughout the range. There are a few instances where dialogue takes on a slightly hollow quality, but it's usually clear and full and easy to understand. I didn't notice a low-volume hiss in the surround channels from time to time—only when I really made an effort to listen for it—but there are no dropouts, crackles, or other unacceptable audio traits. Overall, the mix is acceptable but never remotely impressive. Atlas Shrugged: Part I: Other Editions
