Dirty Harry: The Ultimate Collection Blu-ray
Warner Bros. | 1971-1988 | Not rated | Jun 03, 2008
Dirty Harry: The Ultimate Collection(1971-1988)Action | Crime | Drama | Thriller     This box set includes 'Dirty Harry', 'Magnum Force', 'The Enforcer', 'Sudden Impact' and 'The Dead Pool'. For more details about Dirty Harry: The Ultimate Collection on Blu-ray, see the Dirty Harry: The Ultimate Collection Blu-ray Review Dirty Harry: The Ultimate Collection Blu-ray, Video Quality  All five Dirty Harry movies are encoded in 1080p, and are presented in VC-1 at a measured 2:35:1 aspect ratio. The only exception to the widescreen aspect ratio is Dead Pool which is framed at a measured 1:85:1. Quite frankly all of the titles look fantastic, with Dirty Harry and Magnum Force looking terrific, but with some warts. I saw some occasional cases of dirt and speckles, the dirt was easy to spot, the speckles I had to look hard to find. Black levels are deep and solid, colors nicely saturated, and flesh tones dead on accurate. Magnum Force looks as good as Dirty Harry, but it appears it was shot with a softer focus. It is shot so soft, that it appears to have less resolution (which may not be the case) than the other titles in this series. Colors do not appear as saturated as they did for Dirty Harry, but are nevertheless quite pleasing to the eye. The Enforcer brings quality video back into the picture, and the quality remains consistant through Sudden Impact and The Dead Pool. Detail is excellent on these three, black levels solid, which gives great visual depth to the picture. Warner has done a terrific job restoring and remastering this series, and should be commended on their efforts. Dirty Harry: The Ultimate Collection Blu-ray, Audio Quality  The audio on the Dirty Harry film series comes in several auditory flavors. Each title includes an English 5.1 TrueHD track; English Dolby Digital 5.1 at 448kbps, Japanese 1.0 at, Portuguese 1.0 Dolby Digital soundtracks at 192kbps. I chose to listen to the Dolby TrueHD and the DD 5.1 tracks. Just like the video, the sound quality improves as the series progresses. However all of the titles exhibit a front heavy soundstage with almost no surround support whatsoever. When the surrounds are engaged during chase or action scenes, they are too low to be effective. Dialog was always clear, but at times it suffers from poor integration with the visual environment. As a result dialog sounds occasionally manufactured instead of natural. Panning and localization is excellent in the frontal hemisphere, but does not extended rearward. In the first four movies, the LFE is underutilized, but that changes somewhat on The Dead Pool. All of the soundtracks lack soundfield cohesion, and that is made worse on the Dolby Digital 5.1 track, which sounds splintered and skewed towards extreme localization.
