Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog(2008)
In his internet-distributed miniseries 'Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog', Joss Whedon puts his chorus where his comic books are, uniting once and for all his loves of sci-fi and musical theater. Broadway vet Neil Patrick Harris stars as the title's cut rate supervillain, a wannabe who's always one step behind his preening nemesis, Captain Hammer (Nathan Fillion). The hero thwarts Dr. Horrible's schemes and courts his dulcet-voiced, do-gooder crush, Penny (Felicia Day), a sad fate the evil doctor laments via blogs and hilarious, brokenhearted ballads. For more about Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog and the Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog Blu-ray release, see the Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog Blu-ray Review Starring: Neil Patrick Harris, Felicia Day, Nathan Fillion, Simon Helberg Director: Joss Whedon » See full cast & crew Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog Blu-ray, Video QualityDr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog dances onto Blu-ray with a very nice VC-1 encoded image in full 1080p and an aspect ratio of 1.78:1. I must admit, much to my chagrin, that I never caught the piece on the internet, but it's only obvious that this presentation is heads and shoulders over the streaming video quality of its premiere. While this is certainly not the sharpest Blu-ray I've ever seen, there's an appealingly warm ambience to the colors (though they're muted a lot of the time) and some excellent detail to be found. Watch Harris' face as he arrives at his "lightbulb" moment after Captain Hammer reveals he's about to bed Penny and you'll be able to see "involuntary" twitches of Horrible's jaw muscles. The outdoor footage (albeit on a backlot) also has a decent amount of depth and detail. If you take Dr. Horrible as a modern day analog to the storied B-movies of yore, you'll have some idea of the image quality here: not reference quality, but serviceable and enjoyable on its own terms. Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog Blu-ray, Audio QualityThere's more flash and panache to Dr. Horrible's excellent DTS-HD MA 5.1 mix, thankfully. The music itself sounds wonderful, with some of the baroque accompaniment filling the surrounds wonderfully. A lot of the foley effects are a lot of fun, as well, as Dr. Horrible's rampant experiments run amok and offer some punch and bombast. Whedon offers us a quodlibet or two (simultaneously sung melodies over the same basic harmonic structure), and separation in these moments is excellent, allowing the listener to hone in on any given singer as they may choose. Dialogue is also crisp and clear throughout. There's not a wealth of zowie immersive moments here, probably due to the limited budget of the piece, but this 5.1 mix certainly gets the job done for this small scale project. You'll notice quite a difference in frequency range between the DTS-HD MA 5.1 mix and the standard DTS 2.0 mix. While the 2.0 mix is clear and crisp, there's a very noticeable drop off on the low end, which toggling between the two tracks will clearly show. Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog: Other Editions
