Awake Blu-ray
Weinstein Company | 2007 | 84 mins | Rated R | Nov 18, 2008
Awake(2007)Drama | Mystery | Thriller     During surgery, more than 60,000 people domestically each year experience "anesthetical awareness," a condition when anesthesia fails during surgery, leaving one completely conscious and feeling every incision, but paralyzed and incapable of doing anything about it. This is what happens to Clay. For more details about Awake on Blu-ray, see the Awake Blu-ray Review Starring: Hayden Christensen, Jessica Alba, Terrence Howard, Lena Olin, Christopher McDonald Director: Joby Harold Awake Blu-ray, Video Quality  I was pleasantly surprised by Awake’s 1080p, AVC-encoded transfer, as it gives a crisp, hyper-real image that exhibits no compression artifacts or other transfer-related issues. Titanic cinematographer Russell Carpenter mans the cameras, and he gives each section of the film a distinct and vivid tonality. The pre-surgery sequences are shot in warm, autumnal hues, with hot highlights and an occasionally yellow color cast. Hospital hallways are stark and white— there’s no greenish fluorescence here—and the operating room pops with the blue tones of the walls and the doctor’s scrubs. Black levels are tight, shadow delineation is good, and the image displays a commendable level of sharpness, particularly in clothing texture and facial detail. Topping it off, a thin layer of cinematic grain adds some warmth, and keeps the look from becoming too clinical. While there aren’t any huge, you’ve got check this out in HD moments, this is an all-around great transfer that suits the film’s intentions. Awake Blu-ray, Audio Quality Awake comes equipped with a TrueHD 5.1 surround track that is dynamically stable and occasionally impressive. For the first third of the film I was wondering if the rear speakers of my home theater set-up were going to get any action besides some quiet, bleeding ambience. Thankfully, when Clay’s surgery begins all medical hell breaks loose, filling the sound field with screeches and screams, woozy pans and reverberating voices. There’s some clever sound design during the surgery, but the mix for the remainder of the film is fairly quiet and subdued. Voices are well prioritized, with a full, clean resonance, and from the clear and compact bass to the high-end clinking of medical instruments, the audio spectrum is hefty and well-defined. Like the video quality, this TrueHD track serves its purpose, even if it’s not consistently engaging or exciting.
