Con Air Blu-ray
Disney / Buena Vista | 1997 | 115 mins | Rated R | Jan 08, 2008
Con Air(1997)Action | Crime | Thriller     A prison parolee- on his way to freedom- faces impossible odds when the maximum security transport plane he is on is skyjacked by the most infamous murderer Cyrus "The Virus" Grissom! Buckle up and hang on tight as explosive, high-flying action soars to new heights...and delivers high-caliber motion picture enjoyment! For more details about Con Air on Blu-ray, see the Con Air Blu-ray Review Starring: Nicolas Cage, John Cusack, John Malkovich, Steve Buscemi, Ving Rhames Director: Simon West Con Air Blu-ray, Video Quality  With a 1080p, AVC-encoded transfer of its 2.35:1 OAR image, Con Air takes flight on Blu- ray, but stops just shy of soaring. Gone are the dull colors of the DVD release, replaced by a rich palette. Most of the film flies by in dusty desert hues—see the sandstorm in Carson City—and the textured blues of prison denim. Then, when we get to Vegas, the Strip comes alive with nicely saturated neon reds and purples. Black levels are tight and strong, as evidenced in the early fight outside the bar, and the image throughout has a decent sense of depth for a mid-90’s title. Skin tones are warm and natural. The negatives then are few, but noticeable. For one, the film looks sharper than I had expected, but this comes with a price: the rampant, sometimes black sometimes white haloing that accompanies edge enhancement. Other than that—and some slight wavering during a few scenes—this transfer is crisp, bold, and provides plenty of explosive eye candy. Con Air Blu-ray, Audio Quality  Con Air lands on Blu-ray with a pounding and volatile Linear PCM 5.1 surround track that takes no prisoners in its sonic assault. A brawny low-end presence rumbles beneath the entire film, bringing explosions and dramatic accents to thunderous life. The mid-range pops with crisp rounds of gunfire and well-articulated vocal work. And high-end sound effects—like the brisk click of a shotgun’s pump action—are detailed and clear. There’s rarely a dull moment in Con Air, and the rear channels are put to frequent use, handling both the grim rock score and a never ending ambient stream of whizzes, pans, and cross-fades. There’s not a lot of subtlety in the mix—it’s overwhelming more than anything—and though there’s plenty of immersive action, if you listen closely, sometimes the movement of the audio doesn’t exactly match up with what’s happening on screen. Still, the lossless mix is a powerful, heart-pounding affair, and it makes the also-included Dolby Digital track sound thin and lifeless in comparison. Con Air Blu-ray, Forum Discussions
