Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story Blu-ray
20th Century Fox | 2004 | 100 mins | Unrated | Dec 09, 2008
Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story(2004)Comedy | Sport     You'll dodge, duck, dip, dive... and laugh out loud watching Vince Vaughn and Ben Stiller settle their differences in a winner-take-all dodgeball competition. Under the painful tutelage of legendary ADAA champ, Patches O'Houlihan (Rip Torn), Peter LaFleur (Vaughn) and his Average Joes take on the Purple Cobras, led by egomaniacal fitness guru, White Goodman (Stiller). It's an over-the-top underdog tale filled with hilarious sight gags and balls-out fun! For more details about Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story on Blu-ray, see the Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story Blu-ray Review Starring: Ben Stiller, Vince Vaughn, Christine Taylor, Justin Long, Stephen Root Director: Rawson Marshall Thurber Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story Blu-ray, Video Quality  Fox has given Dodgeball their typical AVC Mpeg-4 treatment and have delivered a nice 1080p Blu-ray encode in the film’s original aspect ratio of 2.35:1. Dodgeball was a low budget film, so it’s of little surprise that the movie can, at times, show its budget limitations throughout this presentation. There is a noticeable amount of grain present, but it remains consistent and never gratuitous. The film’s color palette is muted for most of the film, but occasional flashes of nicely saturated colors shine through in the yellow Average Joe's team uniforms as well as in the film’s final Dodgeball Championship scenes. Contrast is generally quite good and black levels are nicely presented, if occasionally crushed. Detail isn’t particularly amazing, though, but it does seem to be a stylistic choice rather than the fault of the encode. All told, Dodgeball might not be perfect demo material, but it’s never looked better than on this Blu-ray edition. Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story Blu-ray, Audio Quality Fox remains consistent in their commitment to using DTS HD-Master Audio on all of their releases. Dodgeball features a nice mix in the lossless format that accurately re- creates the theatrical experience while maintaining a little punch when required. The film is primarily dialogue driven and the majority of the movie is confined to the front three channels of the 5.1 mix. Dialogue is well presented; always intelligible and never garbled. It’s precisely what one should expect from a lossless soundtrack of a comedy. Whenever the film veers into scenes of competitive Dodgeball, the mix opens up to reveal a surprising amount of ambient and surround activity. There’s a nice sense of spatial atmosphere in these scenes, as dodgeballs whiz around the court and make contact with players’ faces in a resounding thud felt through the LFE channel. This dodgeball-impact sound effect is played to great comedic effect throughout the film. All told, Dodgeball isn’t ever going to rival the best surround experiences on Blu-ray. It does, however, do a fantastic job of taking limited source material and delivering it in the best quality imaginable.
