Hellboy II: The Golden Army Collector's Set Blu-rayUniversal Studios | 2008 | 120 mins | Rated PG-13 | Nov 11, 2008
Hellboy II: The Golden Army Collector's Set(2008)Action | Adventure | Fantasy ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() After an ancient truce existing between humankind and the invisible realm of the fantastic is broken, hell on Earth is ready to erupt. A ruthless leader who treads the world above and the one below defies his bloodline and awakens an unstoppable army of creatures. Now, it's up to the planet's toughest, roughest superhero to battle the merciless dictator and his marauders. He may be red. He may be horned. He may be misunderstood. But when you need the job done right, it's time to call in Hellboy (Ron Perlman). Along with his expanding team in the Bureau for Paranormal Research and Development — pyrokinetic girlfriend Liz (Selma Blair), aquatic empath Abe (Doug Jones) and protoplasmic mystic Johann — the BPRD will travel between the surface strata and the unseen magical one, where creatures of fantasy become corporeal. And Hellboy, a creature of two worlds who's accepted by neither, must choose between the life he knows and an unknown destiny that beckons him. Limited Edition set with a Golden Army statue and excerpt from Guillermo del Toro's journal.

Detail is impeccable, even in the film's darkest scenes, of which there are many. This disc offers up one of the finest film-like qualities yet on Blu-ray; the exterior, nighttime, rainy scenes represent a remarkable home video achievement in recreating a high quality cinematic look. Take a look in chapter six as Nuada declares his intentions to revive the Golden Army and wage war on man. His flowing golden locks are reproduced with uncanny accuracy as every strand is literally distinguishable one form the other, a wonderful representation of the high quality presentation available on this disc. This same sequence features a highly detailed and visually stimulating environment with earth colored walls and old iron furnaces and equipment that offer sharp, larger-than-life, beautiful imagery. In fact, virtually every environment seen throughout the movie features incredible clarity, depth, and realism. The detail on clothing, uniforms, skin, and objects that adorn each character is equally impressive. Colors are amazing throughout; Hellboy's red skin and Abe's aqua blue are but two excellent examples of the rich color palette that manages to bring this otherwise dark world alive. Black levels are perfect, a key ingredient in recreating the generally dark world on display throughout the film. There aren't enough platitudes to discuss just how fabulous this transfer looks, and it is matched by the incredible soundtrack that accompanies it. Hellboy II: The Golden Army Collector's Set Blu-ray, Audio Quality![]() Hellboy II: The Golden Army bursts onto Blu-ray with an incredibly loud and engrossing DTS-HD MA 7.1 lossless soundtrack. Another masterful effort from Universal, they don't come much more active as this one. This is a completely immersive mix that never fails to engulf the listener thanks to the track's breathtaking use of the entire soundstage. Practically every scene, whether the robust and hard-hitting action sequences, or the more mundane and every day sequences -- such as a rainstorm, voice reverberation, crowd chatter, and other ambient sound effects in chapter two -- fill the soundstage with perfect fidelity. The battle with the fairies in chapter four is perhaps best described as intense. Gunshots explode all over the soundstage, hundreds (if not thousands) of the pesky enemies buzz through every speaker, and the sequence features an almost unprecedented level of bass, topped only by some of the finest soundtracks available, like Universal's The Incredible Hulk. The battle against the Elemental in chapter 11 is also an amazing sequence: bass rumbles incessantly with not just power but clarity and realism; surround speakers go berserk; sound spreads throughout every inch of the listening area, flowing seamlessly one speaker to the next, the end result a 360-degree sonic marvel. With pitch-perfect dialogue, massive levels of bass, monumental use of the surrounds, and a practically nonstop feeling of total immersion into the film, Hellboy II: The Golden Army is easily ranked with the best-of-the-best audio experiences Blu-ray has to offer.
