In their haste, Kevin is separated from them and winds up on a plane bound for New York. For more details about Home Alone 2: Lost in New York on Blu-ray, see the Home Alone 2: Lost in New York Blu-ray Review Home Alone 2: Lost in New York Blu-ray, Video Quality  Home Alone 2: Lost in New York arrives on Blu-ray 17 years after first screening in theaters, and considering the early-1990s vintage of the source material, the film’s 1080p/AVC- encoded transfer looks swell. The print itself is very clean, with hardly any specks or flecks or other blemishes, and though grain levels fluctuate throughout the film—at their heaviest during some of the indoor scenes, like Kevin’s parents at the Floridian police station—I never found the grain to be overtly distracting. The film goes for a realistic color palette that largely presents New York as it is, and holiday colors are expectedly in abundance. Since much of the film takes place at night, it’s important that black levels are properly attuned, and for the most part, they are. I was worried that the scenes in Kevin’s uncle’s Brownstone would be too dark, but there’s really only a little bit of crush and I found that I could make out all the necessary details. Overall clarity is good, but not necessarily great. There are some occasional soft shots, but most close-ups show a good deal of facial and clothing texture. I did, however, notice what seems to be some minor edge enhancement during a few scenes, giving the image a slightly artificial quality. Aside from that, and some negligible contrast wavering during a few aerial shots, I was pleased by Lost in New York’s look. Home Alone 2: Lost in New York Blu-ray, Audio Quality  “That was the sound of a tool chest falling down the stairs.” One of the highlights of the film is John Williams’ frantic holiday-themed score, and it gets a proper treatment here with a decent DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 surround track. Bright horns stab and squeal, strings jump up and down staccato stair steps, bells and xylophones chime with Christmas cheer, and the reedy timbres of woodwinds sound clear and defined. The score bleeds pleasingly into the rear channels, where it’s often joined by environmental ambience, like the hustle and bustle of airport chatter, the cooing and fluttering of pigeons, big thunderclaps, heavy rain, and the mechanical whirring, buzzing sounds of Duncan’s Toy Shop. Some of the foleyed tumbles and body-blows that Marv and Harry take are a bit boxy and over-the-top, but the sound design plays into the whole “live-action cartoon” feeling of the film. Vocals are prioritized well, and you’ll have no trouble comprehending dialogue during even the most audibly hectic scenes. The only audio hiccup I caught was at 17:14, where you’ll hear rain beat down in the rears, cut out suddenly for a split second—for no reason—and then resume once again. Otherwise, the track is stable and dynamically solid, even if it doesn’t necessarily deliver any explicitly impressive sonic theatrics.
