Firefly: The Complete Series(TV) (2002)
Five hundred years in the future there's a whole new frontier, and the crew of the Firefly-class spaceship Serenity is eager to stake a claim on the action. They'll take any job, legal or illegal, to keep fuel in the tanks and food on the table. But things get a bit more complicated after they take on a passenger wanted by the new totalitarian Alliance regime. Now they find themselves on the run, desperate to steer clear of Alliance ships and the flesh-eating Reavers who live on the fringes of space. For more about Firefly: The Complete Series and the Firefly: The Complete Series Blu-ray release, see the Firefly: The Complete Series Blu-ray Review Starring: Nathan Fillion, Gina Torres, Alan Tudyk, Morena Baccarin, Adam Baldwin Director: Joss Whedon Firefly: The Complete Series Blu-ray, Video Quality"Firefly" makes its Blu-ray debut with a fine 1080p AVC Mpeg-4 transfer in its original aspect ratio of 1.78:1. The show was originally shot on film and features a purposefully dirty and grainy look that helps to solidify its western look. "Firefly" has a weathered and almost brown-hued look to the majority of the show, while scenes set in space show a much more robust image with deeper blacks and more vivid colors. This picture quality variation helps to visually differentiate between the show's rapidly evolving settings. The show isn't what many viewers would call "pretty," but this Blu-ray version deserves praise for reproducing the desired look of the show. Marcoblocking, edge enhancement, noise and other picture artifacts are never a distraction, fortunately. In comparing the Blu-ray version to "Firefly" on DVD, this set offers a clear upgrade over the blurred and displeasing standard definition image. Sharpness, detail and color reproduction are vastly surperior while helping to preserve the film-like look that the show aspired to. "Firefly" on Blu-ray is clearly the best that this show will ever look. Recommended. Firefly: The Complete Series Blu-ray, Audio QualityThe audio side of the "Firefly" question is a little more complicated. While the disc's 5.1 DTS HD-Master Audio soundtrack delivers impressive fidelity, the show's original sound design hampers the overall enjoyment of the track. Of course, this isn't surprising given the show's low budget television roots There is a minimal amount of surround activity present throughout the series. Panning effects are rarely used, although when they do occur the do so to great effect. There is a slight amount of low frequency data encoded on the disc, so don't expect your subwoofer to do much during the course of an episode. Dialogue is well recorded and presented, however. It's the one bright spot in this otherwise unremarkable track. I'm sure that "Firefly" could be much more dynamic and exciting if the show's soundtrack were given a thorough remixing. As it stands now, "Firefly" is a little lifeless.
