 (1996)

Action | Adventure | Comedy | Family



Christmas. It's the most magical time of year. But while many are bustling to find their children the perfect gifts, others aren't quite ready to adopt the holiday spirit. High-powered businessman Howard Langston loves his family, but he just can't seem to find enough time for wife Liz and son Jamie. But Howard will make it up to Jamie... he'll buy him the toy on every child's list to Santa -- and the hottest action figure of the season -- Turbo Man! Unfortunately, Howard if facing one BIG problem: It's Christmas Eve, and Turbo Man has been sold out since Thanksgiving! Howard's down-to-the-wire trek to find Turbo Man quickly turns into an odyssey wilder than he could have ever imagined. In the course of his seemingly endless Yuletide misadventures, he finds himself in a no-holds-barred fight-to-the-finish with a crazed postman named Myron, who is out to claim the last Turbo Man for his own kid.

Jingle All the Way Blu-ray, Video Quality

 


20th Century Fox launches Jingle All the Way onto Blu-ray with a high quality 1080p transfer framed in its original 1.85:1 aspect ratio. The image is sharp and nicely detailed with strong colors and vibrant imagery in most every scene. A fine layer of grain is visible over the image in addition to a few speckles that do not detract from the presentation. Blacks are generally excellent, and flesh tones are natural in appearance. The cold Minnesota streets seen in many shots throughout the film offer some very nice depth and a high level of detail. There are never any problems with the transfer being too soft. The quality here is perhaps better than expected, looking deep, clear, and sharp; every inch of the screen is full of nice, high quality imagery. Jingle All the Way surpasses any and all expectations for its Blu-ray video presentation.

Jingle All the Way Blu-ray, Audio Quality

 


Jingle All the Way comes to Blu-ray with a rock-em-sock-em DTS-HD MA 5.1 lossless soundtrack. This audio presentation is powerful and loud, perhaps too loud, and several segments will force many listeners to scramble to lower the volume, a good example being the Santa melee in chapter 11. The track makes full use of the surrounds. They are active in most every action sequence, filled with superhero comedy goodness. Bass is deep and powerful, and dialogue reproduction is strong and forceful. The Holiday-themed score plays nicely across the front with solid support from the rear. A band playing Christmas music in chapter six offers pounding bass from the percussion section and the sound spreads out efficiently and naturally throughout the entire soundstage. Many of the sound effects during the film's climactic action sequence feature chair-rattling bass and practically incessant surround activity. Other than being far too loud at times, the track is nicely balanced and powerful, the movie easily sounding better than ever on Blu-ray.
