Kill Bill: Volume 1 Blu-ray, Video Quality

Disney and Miramax have really brought their “A” game to this phenomenal presentation of Kill Bill. Presented in its original theatrical aspect ratio of 2.40:1 using the AVC Mpeg-4 compression codec, I can’t imagine Kill Bill looking any better. The previous DVD versions of Kill Bill have all been pretty horrible with an abundance of edge enhancement, strange colors and compression artifacts galore. That’s not the case here as this Blu-ray edition packs an amazing punch and features one of the most realistic and film-like images I’ve yet experienced on Blu-ray.

Right off the bat, viewers will experience exceptional black levels and beautiful and rich shadow detail. Contrast is perfectly tuned throughout the presentation with startling black and white and as color photography. Detail is also striking with an abundance of fine fabric and skin details. I was also extremely impressed with this transfer’s rich color palette and accurate fleshtones. Nothing about this transfer shows even the slightest hint of compression issues or noise of any kind. The film’s fine grain structure has also been perfectly preserved and lends the presentation a pristine, film-like image. Kill Bill ranks as my favorite transfer on Blu-ray thus far this year. This is quite simply an amazing experience on Blu-ray!

With a perfect visual presentation, it would have been quite a letdown had Kill Bill not been exceptional in the audio department. Fear not, as this is one seriously amazing soundtrack. Presented in uncompressed 5.1 PCM, Kill Bill sounds spectacular. I was completely blown away with the amazing width of the soundstage and the clarity exhibited in every nuance that this track delivered. Having heard, at this point, hundreds of Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD Master Audio and PCM soundtracks, I truly believe that PCM still delivers the richest experience. There is an atmospheric clarity in PCM that just sounds more full and alive than the other two lossless formats. I hope that in the future, PCM isn’t completely abandoned in favor of the Dolby and DTS flavors that are becoming the norm on BD.

If there is any one aspect to Kill Bill that truly impresses, it would be in the amazing sense of atmosphere that this PCM track delivers. Viewing this film is like living inside the movie for two full hours. Every subtlety in this track was delivered with a clarity that made the whole experience more real. Surround activity is very active with a very wide and enveloping soundstage. Bass is truly exceptional as every kick, punch and broken bone thumps with authority. Dialog is always crisp and clear while the film’s eclectic musical score never misses a beat. Kill Bill sounds killer. Highly Recommended!
