Four Christmases Blu-ray
New Line Cinema | 2008 | 88 mins | Rated PG-13 | Nov 24, 2009
Four Christmases(2008)Comedy | Romance     When upscale, happily unmarried San Francisco couple Kate and Brad find themselves socked in by fog on Christmas morning, their exotic vacation plans morph into the family-centric holiday they had, until now, gleefully avoided. Out of obligation--and unable to escape--they trudge to not one, not two, but four relative-choked festivities, increasingly mortified to find childhood fears raised, adolescent wounds reopened... and their very future together uncertain. As Brad counts the hours to when he can get away from their parents, step-parents, siblings and an assortment of nieces and nephews, Kate is starting to hear the ticking of a different kind of clock. And by the end of the day, she is beginning to wonder if their crazy families' choices are not so crazy after all. For more details about Four Christmases on Blu-ray, see the Four Christmases Blu-ray Review Starring: Vince Vaughn, Reese Witherspoon, Robert Duvall, Sissy Spacek, Jon Voight Director: Seth Gordon Four Christmases Blu-ray, Video Quality  Four Christmases features a capable 1080p/VC-1 transfer that handles every holiday hue, fireside stocking, and sparkling light in stride. Colors are rich and satisfying, blacks are well-resolved, contrast is strong (albeit slightly inconsistent), and skintones, though a bit bronzed for their own good, are fairly natural and lifelike. Overzealous artificial sharpening frequently spoils the image (as does some intermittent noise reduction), but detail remains decidedly decent throughout. Edges are sharp, textures are adequate, and Witherspoon's freckles and Vaughn's stubble are generally intact. Likewise, minor artifacting occasionally appears in the background of several shots (watch the wood-grained walls at the McVie family home for the most obvious instances), but the majority of scenes boast an otherwise proficient presentation. Banding and aliasing are nowhere to be found, and ringing and crush are kept to a negligible minimum. Only some smearing, softness, and flailing delineation undermine the integrity of the transfer. Ultimately, Warner's encoding efforts won't draw any high praise, but should satisfy anyone who's already primed to enjoy Vaughn and Witherspoon's holiday misadventures. Four Christmases Blu-ray, Audio Quality Those expecting another chatty, front-heavy comedy will be somewhat pleased with Four Christmases' Dolby TrueHD 5.1 surround track. Though the film's many, many, many conversations primarily inhabit the front speakers, a few key scenes -- an early visit to a crowded nightclub, an office Christmas party, a busy airport, Kate's defiant venture into a moon bounce, a botched satellite dish installation, and others among them -- take fuller advantage of the entire soundfield. In these all too brief instances, both the LFE channel and the rear speakers come alive, drawing the listener into the chaos and, presumably, enhancing the hilarity of it all. It helps that directionality is fairly precise (minus a few third act mishaps when Brad leaves Kate at Creighton's house), pans are smooth, and the soundscape is populated with crisp crashes, gasps, and moans. Still, while quieter scenes deliver a series of passable ambient effects, the overall experience remains flat and two-dimensional. Ah well. Warner's faithful TrueHD offering certainly won't be confused for the sonic messiah, but it is a commendable track nonetheless.
