Fool's Gold

 (2008)

Fool's Gold Blu-ray delivers stunning video and solid audio, but overall it's a mediocre Blu-ray release

Ben "Finn" Finnegan (Matthew McConaughey) is a good-natured, surf bum-turned-treasure hunter who is obsessed with finding the legendary 18th century Queen's Dowry — 40 chests of exotic treasure that were lost at sea in 1715. In his quest, Finn has sunk everything he has, including his marriage to Tess Finnegan (Kate Hudson) and his more-rusty-than- trusty salvage boat, "Booty Calls." Just as Tess has begun to rebuild her life, working aboard a mega-yacht owned by billionaire Nigel Honeycutt (Donald Sutherland), Finn discovers a vital clue to the treasure's whereabouts. Certain that his luck will change with the newfound information, Finn maneuvers himself aboard Nigel's yacht and, using his good-natured charm, convinces the tycoon and his Blackberry-wielding, celebutante daughter, Gemma (Alexis Dziena), to join him in the pursuit of the Spanish treasure. Against Tess' better judgement, the search rekindles her love of...discovery. But they are not the only ones after the treasure. Finn's mentor-turned-nemesis Moe Fitch (Ray Winstone) has also set out to claim the prize. Let the treasure hunt begin...

Fool's Gold Blu-ray, Video Quality

  4.5 of 5

You may be bored out of your mind by the story, angered that McConaughey and Hudson don't have more to work with, and wonder why every plot point is so predictable in Fool's Gold, but you won't have too much to complain about with this early days Blu-ray release from Warner. Encoded via VC-1, in 1080p and 2.41:1, Fool's Gold is more often than not gorgeous to behold, courtesy of some really lovely location shooting in and around Queensland. Brilliantly teal water glints against flashing yellow sunlight throughout large swaths of the film, and fine detail reveals every last ab in McConaughey's muscle bound torso. In fact colors throughout the film are often astoundingly well saturated and the entire film has the sort of pastel dreaminess that used to paint old episodes of Miami Vice with that sort of faux-Caribbean ambience. There are a few niggling artifacts to report, occasional shimmer and aliasing, but for an older Blu-ray release, this really looks quite good almost all of the time.


Fool's Gold Blu-ray, Audio Quality

  3.5 of 5

As one of the earlier Warner catalog titles to receive a Blu-ray release, Fool's Gold does not have any lossless audio options. That's a real shame, considering the many fine and fun source cues utilized as underscore, but also because there is ample opportunity for that lossless "oomph," especially on the low end, throughout the film. All of that said, there's really not a whole bunch to complain about with the perfectly fine Dolby Digital 5.1 mix. Surrounds are effectively utilized throughout the film, with good discrete sound effects well placed throughout the soundfield, and with all dialogue crisp and clear and easy to hear. There's actually a fair degree of dynamic range, as well as some decent LFE, throughout the film. Fidelity is excellent and balance between dialogue, effects and score is also expertly handled. Yes, lossless would have been better, but there are many other items about Fool's Gold you'll probably have listed higher on your complaint list than the lack of lossless audio.
