G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra Blu-ray
Paramount Pictures | 2009 | 118 mins | Rated PG-13 | Nov 03, 2009
G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra(2009)Action | Adventure | Sci-Fi | Thriller     From the Egyptian desert to deep below the polar ice caps, the elite G.I. JOE team uses the latest in next-generation spy and military equipment to fight the corrupt arms dealer Destro and the growing threat of the mysterious Cobra organization to prevent them from plunging the world into chaos. For more details about G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra on Blu-ray, see the G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra Blu-ray Review Starring: Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, Christopher Eccleston, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Karolina Kurkova, Sienna Miller Director: Stephen Sommers G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra Blu-ray, Video Quality  G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra storms onto Blu-ray with a strong 1080p. 2.39:1-framed transfer. It's usually easy to review a disc like this: summer blockbuster, Paramount new release, and high-octane Action and special effects extravaganza usually adds up to a stellar visual presentation, and that formula holds true for G.I. Joe. About the only complaint is that a few of the effects shots look rather fake, particularly under the 1080p spotlight, but considering Director Stephen Sommers acknowledges as much in the commentary, it's hardly a concern. The image also goes slightly soft in a few places, but again, such is a minor complaint in the midst of an otherwise stellar presentation. The film's first act is rather dark in its major sequences, but detail resolution, color, and black levels all hold up remarkably well anyway. Blacks are excellent throughout, delivering good, deep shadows that don't destroy background detail. However, it's in the film's brighter, daytime scenes that the transfer shines. A chase through the streets of Paris in chapter 11 appears practically three-dimensional with breathtaking levels of fine detail on bricked city streets, cars (particularly those suffering heavy damage), and shattered glass. Color reproduction excels throughout, again in the brighter scenes in particular where every shade pops off the screen. Even Snake Eyes' and Baroness' black uniforms and Storm Shadow's white gi are nicely reproduced. Also featuring spot-on flesh tones and a natural layer of film grain, G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra makes for a satisfying and film-like 1080p Blu-ray transfer. G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra Blu-ray, Audio Quality G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra explodes onto Blu-ray with a dazzling DTS-HD MA 5.1 lossless soundtrack. As expected, the track delivers a full surround-sound extravaganza that makes excellent use of each speaker in the configuration, with special mention going to the hard work of the subwoofer in every action scene. The film's musical presentation is flawless, with crisp notes and a solid low end in every instance. Of course, G.I. Joe isn't about music; it's about hard-hitting sound effects, gunfire, explosions, and prodigious amounts of bass, and that's exactly what this track delivers. Such sound effects are consistently scattered -- but still precisely placed -- all around the listening area, creating in each action scene a breathtaking sonic assault that places the listener next to every explosion and in the midst of every firefight. Gunfire in particular is prodigious; shots explode from every inch of the soundstage and the devastating results as bullets impact their targets engenders consistently punishing blows from the subwoofer. The finest shootout, at least form a purely sonic perspective, comes during a flashback scene that takes the audience to an Eastern Africa military engagement found in chapter nine. Foregoing the energy weapons that populate other action scenes for purely conventional gunfire, the scene delivers heavy machine gun fire spraying through the living room while more distant shots work in conjunction with the up-close running gun battle to create a seamless yet frighteningly realistic atmosphere. A missile launch in chapter 15 is perhaps the track's most powerful moment; it features a booming, all-encompassing explosion of power that pushes the subwoofer to its limits and is sure to bring a smile to home theater aficionados everywhere. Rounded out by generally clear dialogue reproduction that's only once or twice lost under sound effects, G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra represents another fantastic soundtrack from Paramount. G.I.
