Hollow Man Blu-ray
Director's Cut Sony Pictures | 2000 | 119 mins | Unrated | Oct 16, 2007
Hollow Man(2000)Action | Drama | Horror | Sci-Fi | Thriller Sebastian Caine heads a top-secret research project to unlock the secret of invisibility. When the formula works successfully on animals, an ecstatic Caine recklessly disobeys orders and experiments on himself. Unfortunately, the dangerous gamble goes terribly wrong when the procedure cannot be reversed. Caine and his chief lieutenants Linda McKay and Matt Kensington, frantically attempt to counteract the effect. But the invisible Caine, fueled by latent megalomaniac tendencies, quickly becomes intoxicated with his newfound power. The laboratory becomes a house divided as the scientists realize their suddenly omnipotent leader perceives them as a threat to his very existence. For more details about Hollow Man on Blu-ray, see the Hollow Man Blu-ray Review Starring: Kevin Bacon, Elisabeth Shue, Josh Brolin, Greg Grunberg, Mary Jo Randle Director: Paul Verhoeven Hollow Man Blu-ray, Video Quality As only a seven year old release, the film elements of Hollow Man are in excellent shape and this Blu-ray version of the film sports a reference-grade transfer. Encoded with the stellar AVC codec, the film looks pristine and free from any defects. Much of the film takes place in a sealed laboratory complex with an abundance of fluorescent lighting. This gives many of the film’s scenes an eerie blue tint that adds to the sterile and clinical nature of the film. Black levels throughout the film are rock sold and shadow detail is extraordinary. Fine detail is also very impressive. Much of the film features an abundance of complex CGI effects that are very impressive to behold in high definition. When I saw this film theatrically, I recall the effects having a very digital look to them. This Blu-ray presentation actually improves the look of these effects and, though the added detail of a high definition presentation, makes the effects ever so slightly more realistic. This is yet another example of the stellar work being done at Sony! Hollow Man Blu-ray, Audio Quality I was a bit surprised at the sound mix for Hollow Man. Presented in uncompressed PCM 5.1, the track is actually quite subdued. Dialogue was well presented and perfectly placed within the mix. The late, great Jerry Goldsmith’s outstanding score is also amazing to behold with rich strings and powerful sizzles and stings. The film’s many action scenes tend to crank the volume of the mix up a few notches while still maintaining fidelity and never resolving into a fuzzed out mess. While most of the film is predominantly front-loaded, there are some nice moments where the surround channels deliver some interesting directional effects. Be sure to listen carefully during the “hide and seek” scene between Sebastian and his coworkers. As Sebastian invisibly moves around the room, his voice will follow his movements around your surround channels. Nice touch!
