Che Part 1 - The Argentine Blu-ray
Optimum Home Entertainment | 2008 | 126 mins | Rated R | Jun 29, 2009
Che Part 1 - The Argentine(2008)Biography | Drama | History | War     On November 26, 1956, Fidel Castro sails to Cuba with eighty rebels. One of those rebels is Ernesto "Che" Guevara (Benicio del Toro), an Argentine doctor who shares a common goal with Fidel Castro - to overthrow the corrupt dictatorship of Fulgencio Batista. Che proves indispensable as a fighter, and quickly grasps the art of guerrilla warfare. As he throws himself into the struggle, Che is embraced by his comrades and the Cuban people. For more details about Che Part 1 - The Argentine on Blu-ray, see the Che Part 1 - The Argentine Blu-ray Review Starring: Benicio del Toro Director: Steven Soderbergh Che Part 1 - The Argentine Blu-ray, Video Quality  Presented in its original aspect ratio of 2.39:1, encoded with MPEG-4 AVC and granted a 1080p transfer, Steven Soderbergh’s Che: The Argentine arrives on Blu-ray courtesy of British distributors Optimum Home Entertainment. Generally speaking, this is a fantastic transfer. Contrast is impressive, clarity good and detail often incredible. This being said, I would like to point out that light is of utmost importance in Che as it directly affects contrast, clarity and detail. There are certain scenes where the film looks rather soft. Yet, there are also scenes that look incredibly detailed and lush. Additionally, the grain structure is quite wild, particularly during the pseudo-documentary footage recreating Guevara’s trip to New York City. All of this, however, is intentional. This is how director Soderbergh shot Che. This being said, edge-enhancement is at time easy to detect. On the other hand, macroblokcing is not an issue of concern. Finally, the actual transfer is notably healthy – I did not spot any disturbing debris, scratches, dirt, or specks. (Note: There are a number of forced trailers before one can get to the main menu. The actual disc is Region-B “locked”. Therefore, unless one has a native Region-B or Region-Free player, one would not be able to playback this disc). Che Part 1 - The Argentine Blu-ray, Audio Quality  There is only one audio track on this Blu-ray disc: Spanish (with portions of English) DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1. The Spanish DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 track is solid. The bass is potent, the high frequencies not overdone and the rear channels quite active. Furthermore, the DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 track impresses with terrific clarity – the dialog is notably crisp and easy to follow. Also, balance is certainly not an issue. Alberto Iglesias’ music score is mixed very well with the dialog. This being said, I did not detect any disturbing pops, cracks, or hissings to report in this review. For the record, Optimum Home Entertainment have provided optional English subtitles for the main feature. When turned on, they appear between the image frame and the black bars underneath it (take a look at the screencatures). Please note, that the English subtitles appear only when Spanish is spoken.
