Coraline 3D Blu-ray, Video Quality

  4.5 of 5

And now for the best part. Coraline's 3D Blu-ray release is a show stopper. Viewed on Panasonic's TC-P50VT20 50" Viera Plasma, Coraline has "wow" written all over it. It's important to note that the film's style of animation and 2D presentation already yields one of the stronger images on Blu-ray and one that is itself of considerable depth; some scenes in the 3D version aren't even all that distinguishable from their 2D counterparts, but that's actually reflective of one of Blu-ray 3D's strengths: it's not at all gimmicky and it doesn't try and dazzle when it doesn't need to. Rather than try to incorporate as many trick shots as possible, these new 3D films instead go for a more natural feel, and the Blu-ray 3D presentations captures that wonderfully. That doesn't mean that the two versions are indistinguishable. Quite the contrary, there's a noticeable depth of field from the opening seconds of Coraline forward. The picture's title sequence features a lace material bordering the screen that seems to hover over the rest of the image. It's during the credits that the film's most obvious "poke something out of the screen" moment comes, but it's used to good effect and is wholly integrated into the scene and not at all forced into the film as a cheap effect.

Beyond the title sequence lies an entire world ripe for 3D exploration. Of note is the tunnel through which Coraline crawls to move about the two worlds; it's perhaps the best example of how well modern 3D technology works as the tunnel seems to begin at the front of the screen and almost begs for viewers to stick their hands inside. It seems to go through the TV and well out beyond the back of it; it's another one of the exceptionally-realized moments that might not immediately jump out as a shot that would stand out from the rest, but again, it seems that those more ordinary moments are the ones that truly define the strength of high definition 3D presentations. Of course, the tunnel scenes also remind viewers of the inescapable shortcoming of the technology; these and other awe-inspiring elements demand the largest screen possible, and while they look great on a 50" display, there's no doubt that they each cry out for something far larger. Other scenes, such as those in Coraline's kitchen, appear nicely done and very perceptibly deep, but then again, that particular environment appears quite dimensional in the 2D version as well. Additionally, Coraline rarely falls victim to "ghosting" or double images that don't quite mesh to create a seamless 3D effect. Those instances that stood out could be counted on one hand, and only one -- a shot at the 1:22:23 mark -- appeared excessively distracting.

Coraline's 3D presentation might be a hair darker than its 2D counterpart; it's a dark film to begin with, but colors seemed to be just a tad bit brighter in the 2D version. Nevertheless, the coloration in the 3D version dazzles, whether Coraline's blue hair or yellow slicker or the many vibrant hues that dot the unforgivingly dark elements across the two worlds. Additionally, black levels are excellent, every blackened frame delivering a strikingly inky shade that reinforces the visuals and themes splendidly. Detail is positively striking; the title sequence boasts some breathtaking close-ups of cloths and fabrics that reveal so much texture that the material may as well be glued onto the TV screen and not a digitized image inside it. There's a seemingly endless parade of eye candy in Coraline, and both the 2D and 3D versions are treasures of the format that are among its finest offerings. Granted there's only a few 3D Blu-ray titles out there, but Coraline might be the best of the bunch. Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs is no slouch, and both prove superior to Monsters vs. Aliens. Coraline's style, perhaps, translates a bit better to 3D, but viewers will be more than impressed with any of the titles currently available. As it stands, Coraline gets the nod as the current go-to reference 3D disc by the slimmest of margins over Meatballs.


Coraline 3D Blu-ray, Audio Quality

  4.5 of 5

It may not contain any extras, but this promotional Blu-ray release of Coraline does boast a wonderful DTS-HD MA 5.1 lossless soundtrack. It's the perfect companion to the dazzling visuals; it's a track that's effortlessly variable between the film's quietest and most audibly-intense moments. Music is wonderfully smooth and free-flowing across the soundstage with each note a profile in seamless integration through a sound system and into a listening environment. Likewise, the track does wonderfully well in capturing the ambience of the area in and around the Pink Palace Apartments, whether the chilling breezes and booming thunder in one early scene or the slightest creaks and pops around the house during various interior sequences. Many of the more aggressive effects heard throughout the film seamlessly traverse the entire soundstage; imaging is exceptional and the track delivers an experience that seems to erase the boundaries of the speakers and engulf the listener into Coraline's dual worlds. Additionally, the track features a pitch-perfect low end that's dynamic and strong but never excessively overbearing. Finally, dialogue never misses a beat; it's focused in the center but never cramped and, just as important, never lost underneath the track's other elements. Coraline sounds as good as it looks.
