Ghost Town

 (2008)

Comedy | Fantasy | Romance



Bertram Pincus is a man whose people skills leave much to be desired. When Pincus dies unexpectedly, but is miraculously revived after seven minutes, he wakes up to discover that he now has the annoying ability to see ghosts. Even worse, they all want something from him, particularly Frank Herlihy, who pesters him into breaking up the impending marriage of his widow Gwen. That puts Pincus squarely in the middle of a triangle, with spirited results.

Ghost Town Blu-ray, Video Quality

 


Ghost Town comes to Blu-ray courtesy of DreamWorks with a quality 1080p, 1.78:1-framed transfer. The film features a fairly standard Romantic Comedy look, with a nice array of pleasing colors and minimal grain that play nicely with the film's fun tone. Still, the transfer features an impressive film-like look that makes for a very pleasing viewing experience. Whites are a bit bright, and the image as a whole appears slightly overblown and artificially bright through much of the film. Detail is solid across the board; the various cityscapes and park scenes reveal some close-to-lifelike textures and fine details that bring the image to life. Some backgrounds are soft, but foreground imagery is always sharp and clean with nice vibrancy. Black levels are fine, as are flesh tones. Ghost Town makes for a fine high definition viewing experience.

Ghost Town Blu-ray, Audio Quality

 


DreamWorks's Blu-ray presentation of Ghost Town features a Dolby TrueHD 5.1 lossless soundtrack that stays in-line with the standard Romantic Comedy offering. The soundtrack features a nice presence across the front with adequate support from the rear channels. The score in particular spreads out well and occasionally drifts into the back for further support and presence. Outdoor New York shots create a subtle, but not wholly immersive, environment. The track features a few good directional effects, but this is a mostly dialogue and front-heavy listen, and for all it is supposed to be, it's fine.
