For more details about Henry Poole is Here on Blu-ray, see the Henry Poole is Here Blu-ray Review Starring: Luke Wilson, Radha Mitchell, Adriana Barraza, George Lopez, Cheryl Hines Director: Mark Pellington Henry Poole is Here Blu-ray, Video Quality  Henry Poole is Here appears on Blu-ray with a very high quality 1080p transfer, presented in its original 2.35:1 aspect ratio. Colors are remarkably vivid but not overstated, each a natural, pleasing hue, from the blue paint on Poole's house to the earth-colored bricks, dirt, and fences that surround it. This is a nice, stable, quality image with fine detail across the board, and sharp, clear, and clean images in just about every frame. The image remains detailed from front to back, the depth very nice, and the overall presentation never lacking. The movie exudes a fine film-like quality, with a subtle layer of grain present. The movie is very bright, one of the brighter ones available, but there are a few very dark moments, particularly about mid-film as part of the backstory is revealed. There are some amazingly dark spots where blacks are solid and true, no surprise considering the technical success of the rest of the transfer. Flesh tones are natural and pleasing, never wavering towards an unnatural red push. Overall, Henry Poole is Here offers yet another impressive video transfer from Starz. Henry Poole is Here Blu-ray, Audio Quality  While not a life-changer, the Dolby TrueHD 5.1 lossless soundtrack found on this Blu-ray release of Henry Poole is Here is easily acceptable. Like the video, the audio is often a joy, certainly not reference material, but excellent for the style of movie. The music over the opening credits montage is crisp and pleasing, with fine fidelity. The soundtrack depends on the front channels for much of its ambience: chirping birds, blowing wind, the subtle tones of wind chimes, and a barking dog, for example, all come primarily through the front speakers. The track does feature some more aggressive moments, like the presentation of Blur's Song 2 which provides a welcome amount of bass and nice rear-channel support. In fact, several musical performances throughout the film sound fantastic, with great penetration into the listening area, accompanied by a hearty amount of bass and fabulous sense of space and breadth. Dialogue, too, is reproduced pitch-perfectly. While no audio religious experience, Henry Poole is Here sounds perfectly fine on Blu-ray.
