Jerry Maguire Blu-ray, Video Quality

 


Sony brings Jerry Maguire to Blu-ray in its original theatrical aspect ratio of 1.85:1 using the AVC Mpeg-4 compression codec. The film’s excellent 1080p transfer succeeds wildly in bringing the true look of film into the home environment. As is usually the case with the films he lenses, Cinematographer Janusz Kaminski has given Jerry Maguire a natural, grainy and very high contrast look. For the first time since its theatrical release, Jerry Maguire actually achieves this look in the home.

While some viewers might be initially distracted by the somewhat heavy grain in Jerry Maguire, rest assured that this is completely intentional. Mr. Kaminski has put together a large and distinguished body of work where grain has always been at the forefront of the image. This appears to be a stylistic choice that Mr. Kaminski brings to many of his projects. Regardless, film aficionados will likely be thrilled with the very film like image presented on this Blu-ray disc. As far as picture anomalies are concerned, this disc is free from any annoying edge enhancement, compression artifacts and other, distracting problems. Black levels are consistently inky throughout and contrast is presented realistically and smoothly. Jerry Maguire has never looked this good on home video. Recommended!

Jerry Maguire Blu-ray, Audio Quality

 


Jerry Maguire is certainly not a flashy movie in the sound department, but does feature a nice 5.1 Dolby TrueHD audio track. Sine this is primarily a dialog driven film, Jerry Maguire really only lights up the surround channels during the film’s football scenes. As would be expected, crowd noise and the catcalls and whistles that would normally be heard in a jam-packed stadium are all here. In addition, the occasional track from the film’s musical score finds its way to the rear channels.

Most importantly in a film such as Jerry Maguire is the ability to never have to worry about missing a line of dialog. Fortunately, Dolby TrueHD makes this a non-issue as every delivery in Jerry Maguire is presented crisply and without a hint of distortion. While this track will hardly wow your friends as demo material, it is a further example of the benefits of lossless audio. Recommended!
