Ferris Bueller's Day Off Blu-ray
Bueller...Bueller...EditionParamount Pictures | 1986 | 103 mins | Rated PG-13 | May 05, 2009
Ferris Bueller's Day Off(1986)Comedy     Ferris Bueller is a popular high school student living in an affluent Chicago suburb. After convincing his parents that he is truly sick, Ferris calls on his friend Cameron to join him for a day of hooky from school. Cameron agrees, reluctantly, because it means taking his father's prized classic 1961 red Ferrari 250 GT convertible. They pick up Ferris's girlfriend head for adventure in downtown Chicago -- all the while trying to outsmart and outrun the dean of students who has become wise to Ferris' plan. For more details about Ferris Bueller's Day Off on Blu-ray, see the Ferris Bueller's Day Off Blu-ray Review Ferris Bueller's Day Off Blu-ray, Video Quality  Ferris Bueller's Day Off skips onto Blu-ray with a nice-looking 1080p, 2.35:1-framed transfer. The movie shows its age but is generally nice to look at, neither excelling nor faltering in any one spot. There are speckles and spots galore to be seen on the print throughout the movie, not to mention a few scratches, though they are never too terribly intrusive. A bit of grain is also present. Colors are strong and vibrant throughout, the scenes inside the school's packed hallways with the orange lockers and the many-colored clothes worn by the student body offer a broad range of blues, reds, and other bright colors that saturate the screen and bring even more life to the film. Of course, the red Ferarri sparkles, the car never looking better here than it does on any other home video version. The interior is visibly plush, too, almost enough to imagine the sensation of sinking into its brown leather seats. Detail is sufficient across the board. The porous Detroit Red Wings Gordie Howe Jersey Cameron wears and the odds and ends scattered about Ferris' bedroom, for example, provide plenty of texture and visible information. Facial detail looks a bit flat and smooth, but nonetheless acceptable. Flesh tones sometimes look a bit ghastly but certainly never veer towards the red end of the spectrum. The film rarely sees a dark moment, so blacks aren't much of an issue. Overall, Ferris Bueller's Day Off isn't the best looking Blu-ray in existence, but it certainly isn't the worst, and the film easily looks better than ever on this release. Ferris Bueller's Day Off Blu-ray, Audio Quality  Ferris Bueller's Day Off twists and shouts onto Blu-ray with a surprisingly effective Dolby TrueHD 5.1 lossless soundtrack. This lossless presentation borders on being a revelation; it offers far more clarity, definition, small details, and a sense of space that seemed lacking on previous home video editions of the film. The influx of popular music heard throughout the film, beginning almost immediately once Ferris is left alone at home and through to the end of the movie (including the famous "Twist and Shout" sequence), plays with a clarity and presence that brings the film to new sonic life. All songs feature crisp highs, a solid midrange, and positive, sufficient lows. The subwoofer never rumbles, but it doesn't have to in the context of the movie. The low end is presented with just the right amount of heft to support the track rather than dominate it. The track also reveals subtle sound effects that may have been lost in the shuffle on previous releases -- cars moving down the street in the far background, the sounds of baseball at Wrigley Field, and ambient crowd noise during the famed "Twist and Shout" parade scene -- engulf the listener quite effectively. Dialogue, too, is delivered clearly and at an adequate volume. It's a very good overall experience considering the age of the film, and Paramount has done a fine job in bringing this soundtrack to Blu-ray.
