Déjà Vu Blu-rayDisney / Buena Vista | 2006 | 126 mins | Rated PG-13 | Apr 24, 2007
Déjà Vu(2006)Action | Romance | Sci-Fi | Thriller ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Academy Award winner Denzel Washington joins forces with blockbuster producer Jerry Bruckheimer and mega-hit director Tony Scott for Deja Vu — the powerful, fast-paced action- thriller with a spectacular mind-bending twist. Called in to recover evidence in the aftermath of a horrific explosion on a New Orleans ferry, Federal agent Doug Carlin gets pulled away from the scene and taken to a top-secret government lab that uses a time-shifting surveillance device to help prevent crime. But can it help Carlin change the past? Hold on to your seat for an explosive and intriguing thrill ride you'll want to experience again and again.

Presented in 1080p, with a VC-1 encoded transfer, Déjà Vu’s video quality may not make up for its lackluster narrative, but it sure comes close. As expected from recent Tony Scott productions, the film definitely has a stylized look, but not nearly as overblown as the excesses of Domino. The color palette is lush and mildly oversaturated, giving an almost cross-processed appearance that bumps blue levels and pulls bright whites into warm, yellowish tones. See the summery haze of the opening sequence for reference. When cars and bodies from the ferry come crashing into the Mississippi, there’s some beautiful underwater photography that shows the deep blue gradient of the watery depths contrasted against the raging fire above. Contrast is a good word for this transfer, as everything about the image absolutely pops. Overall clarity is spectacular—the ferry explosion is a truly stunning HD moment—and even the tiniest textures, like the stubbly suede of Denzel’s jacket, are cleanly detailed. Contrast can be a bit too hot at times, though this— along with skin tones that veer toward yellow—is a stylistic choice more than anything. I noticed a few slight, isolated instances of wavering, but other than that, the film is free of any troublesome transfer issues. Déjà Vu Blu-ray, Audio Quality![]() When Déjà Vu’s action sequences ramp up, the film’s Linear PCM 5.1 track can roar with the best of them. Take the opening ferry bombing, for instance. The rippling explosion thunders and pops with clear concussive blasts, riding a rumbling, LFE earthquake. Cars nose into the water with deep, bubbly plunging sounds, and piercing, directionally accurate screams are cleverly truncated, snuffed out by shrapnel or water. Rescue choppers fly overhead, and the sound of their rotors pans convincingly from back to front and side to side. When the film’s audio and image match up in such a bombastic, immersive way, Déjà Vu truly becomes a wild ride. The more pedestrian, expository scenes, however, are nearly barren in contrast. To be fair, there’s not a lot going on audio-wise during the “Snow White” scenes, but what is there is rendered cleanly and faithfully. The various whizzes, bleeps, and bloops of the time machine’s controls are convincing, and voices are always crisp and well represented. There’s also some nice environmental ambience during the sequence in the bayou, with crickets and birds singing in the rears. Though there’s a fairly big disparity between the loud and quiet portions of the film, the mix is generally fantastic, and I even rewound several moments to listen to them twice.
