Fringe: The Complete Fifth and Final Season(TV) (2012-2013)
Fringe revolves around three unlikely colleagues – a beautiful, young and determined FBI agent (Anna Torv), a brilliant but off-the-wall scientist (John Noble), and his sardonic, roguish son (Joshua Jackson) – who team up to investigate a series of peculiar deaths and disasters. For more about Fringe: The Complete Fifth and Final Season and the Fringe: The Complete Fifth and Final Season Blu-ray release, see the Fringe: The Complete Fifth and Final Season Blu-ray Review published by Kenneth Brown on May 7, 2013 where this Blu-ray release scored 3.5 out of 5. Starring: Anna Torv, Joshua Jackson, John Noble, Jasika Nicole, Lance Reddick, Blair Brown » See full cast & crew Fringe: The Complete Fifth and Final Season Blu-ray, Video QualityMuch like its predecessors, Fringe: The Complete Fifth and Final Season arrives on Blu-ray with a strong but less-than- ideal video presentation with a few notable flaws. Crush is rampant, delineation is quite uncompromising and noise spikes somewhat erratically on occasion. None of it amounts to a significant distraction -- especially since the series' hyper-exposed palette and stark contrast leveling is the chief culprit in each instance -- but clarity still takes a hit as darkness rises or night descends. The only real encoding issue? Brief bursts of macroblocking (seen in the bright skies here) that disappear as quickly as they appear and, for the most part, will go unnoticed by most viewers anyway. Otherwise, everything looks exactly as it should. Colors and fleshtones have been stripped down and washed away to visually striking, thematically relevant ends, replaced by grim dystopian grays, blues and browns, bloodless primaries, and deep, inky blacks, punctuated only by the warm, rich amber hues of Walter's makeshift lab. Wherever the series' heavy shadows fall, detail is consumed without prejudice. However, wherever light strikes, detail flourishes; so much so that Fringe once again delivers one of the crispest, most revealing television presentations out there. Closeups are outstanding, fine textures are often masterfully resolved, and edges are typically razor sharp, without too much in the way of ringing. It has its trials by softness, particularly whenever the team switches on flashlights and goes spelunking in a murky, grimy abandoned building, but that again is an eyesore that traces back to the source. In all, artifacting, banding and aliasing are kept to a reasonable, altogether negligible minimum, and fans of the series will find the fifth season's presentation to be every bit as satisfying as those of previous seasons. Fringe: The Complete Fifth and Final Season Blu-ray, Audio QualityWarner's DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 surround track is easily the series' best audio mix to date; fierce and aggressive when called upon, attentive and diligent at all times, and delicate whenever subtlety and a gentle touch is required. Dialogue is clean, clear and intelligible at all times, regardless of how intense or violent our heroes' predicament becomes, and effects are presented with style. Wet, fleshy gore increases the ick factor of key scenes dramatically, rippling implosions and hearty LFE-boosted explosions show off plenty of low-end kick, and the rear speakers grab hold of anything that might make the soundfield more immersive or unsettling and use it to its full potential. Directionality is convincing, almost to the point of having a wicked sense of humor. Pans are perfectly transparent and dynamics are impressive as well, as is prioritization, which takes everything from the quietest whisper to the most pulse-pounding beat in the fifth season's score and strikes a fantastic balance. Yes, Fringe's sound design is a bit too on the nose -- a bit too loud and pulpy for the sake of the next organized shock -- but it's also presented here with first-rate proficiency and power. I was thoroughly pleased, especially since I didn't feel the urge to use the words "well, at least for a TV show" at all. Fringe: Other Seasons
