Grease Blu-ray
Paramount Pictures | 1978 | 110 mins | Rated PG | May 05, 2009
Grease(1978)Comedy | Musical | Romance     John Travolta solidified his position as the most versatile and magnetic screen presence of the decade in this film version of the smash hit play Grease. Recording star Olivia Newton-John made her American film debut as Sandy, Travolta's naive love interest. The impressive supporting cast reads like a "who's who" in this quintessential musical about the fabulous '50s. Grease is not just a nostalgic look at a simpler decade--it's an energetic and exciting musical homage to the age of rock 'n' roll! For more details about Grease on Blu-ray, see the Grease Blu-ray Review Grease Blu-ray, Video Quality  Grease rocks onto the Blu-ray format in a 1080p/AVC framed in a 2:39:1 video window. While certainly better looking than the previously released DVD disc, this Blu-ray release is more revealing of the good and bad of the source material. All the same issues that dogged the DVD, dog this disc as well. The print master is clean; nick and dirt free, but a little scrubbed visually. For a film shot in 1978, grain should be much more apparent. Detail is good, but inconsistent over the course of the film. The added detail over the DVD is readily apparent and the bump in sharpness is also very noticeable. Colors are well saturated, bright and brilliant, but with glossy indistinct hues. Contrast and black levels are admirable, never blooming or crushed. There is some noticeable edge enhancement, but only intermittently throughout the presentation. The picture was soft on occasion, but vacillated between sharp and soft throughout the entire film. This is the best I have seenGreaselook on any video format. Grease Blu-ray, Audio Quality  Featuring a lossless 5.1 Dolby TrueHD soundtrack, Grease is an audio disappointment for me. This is a front heavy soundtrack with true to its roots 1978 sound. The soundtrack sounds pinched in the midrange and slightly rolled off in the highs. Dialog is always clean and clear, but occasionally had a boxy colored character to it. The surrounds are used sparingly, with only the occasional discrete voice, crowd noise, or effect thrown in. Ambient cues from the music are also present in the surrounds, which gives the music a little more air in the acoustical space. Bass is powerful, balanced and never bloated or obscuring midrange or upper frequency detail. The lateral spread of the front stereo soundstage is excellent, with imaging extending deep into the sound field. Since this is what 70's mixes sound like, I would have to say this disc is about as audibly accurate you are going to hear Grease sound like.
