Jarhead Blu-ray
Universal Studios | 2005 | 123 mins | Not rated | Nov 25, 2008
Jarhead(2005)Biography | Drama | War     Set during the Gulf War, the episodic tale follows Anthony Swofford (a.k.a. "Swoff"), a third- generation enlistee, from his sobering stint in boot camp to active duty, where he's sporting a sniper's rifle and a hundred-pound ruck sack on his back, while moving through Middle East deserts with no cover from the intolerable heat. As well, he advances with no protection from the Iraqi soldiers--and there's always a potential enemy sighting, just over the next horizon. Swoff and his fellow Marines sustain themselves on humor and camaraderie as they tread the blazing desert fields in a country they don't understand, against an enemy they can't see, for a cause they don't fully fathom. For more details about Jarhead on Blu-ray, see the Jarhead Blu-ray Review Starring: Jake Gyllenhaal, Peter Sarsgaard, Lucas Black, Jamie Foxx, Brian Geraghty Director: Sam Mendes Jarhead Blu-ray, Video Quality  Universal deploys Jarhead onto Blu-ray with a 1080p, 2.35:1-framed transfer. The film features that slightly washed out, harsh, and grainy look that so many of the newer wartime films employ. Detail is incredibly high throughout in spite of the out-of-the-ordinary presentation. Facial detail in particular stands out. So to do the finer details throughout the image, from the stitching on the uniforms to the the individual blades of grass, sand, and debris seen throughout the film. Even through blowing sand and the haze and dense skies filled with smoke and oil as depicted later in the picture, the transfer never misses a beat. Blacks are perfectly dark and deep, with no appreciable appearance of crushing. Likewise, flesh tones hold up very well underneath the somewhat disturbed appearance of much of the imagery. Jarhead looks fantastic on Blu-ray, and the high resolution the format allows the intended look of the film to shine. Jarhead Blu-ray, Audio Quality Jarhead goes to war with another high quality DTS-HD MA 5.1 lossless soundtrack from Universal. The sound quality is excellent across the board, offering listeners a loud but also precise experience. Popular music, such as Bobby McFerrin's Dont Worry, Be Happy and Naughty By Nature's O.P.P., plays well across the entire listening area, loud and clear across the front and with a powerful rear channel and LFE support. The same may be said of Thomas Newman's astounding score. Even the Apocalypse Now segments sound fantastic. Combining the cheering Marines in attendance with the rattling bass of the helicopter rotors and Richard Wagner's most famous piece that makes the popular scene an operatic masterpiece play in wonderful harmony in Jarhead, a scene that sounds fantastic and is sure to bring a smile to any War film fan's face. The repeated thuds of the accidental launch of flares in chapter 10 produces a nice subtle yet effective pounding effect throughout the soundstage. Various other sound effects tear through the listening area as well. Tanks roll past through the sand, helicopters pass overhead, and jets zoom across the sky, all with excellent imaging. The track creates a solid sense of space and atmosphere, though many dialogue-heavy scenes offer little-to-no rear channel support. Dialogue reproduction is another high point on the disc with no discernible flaws. Jarhead offers listeners a captivating sound experience that perfectly accompanies the fantastic visuals and excellent story.
