Land of the Dead Blu-ray
Unrated Director's CutUniversal Studios | 2005 | 97 mins | Unrated | Sep 30, 2008
Land of the Dead(2005)Action | Horror     In a modern-day world where the walking dead roam an uninhabited wasteland, the living try to lead "normal" lives behind the walls of a fortified city. A new society has been built by a handful of ruthless opportunists, who live in the towers of a skyscraper, high above the chaos on the streets below. Outside the city walls, an army of the dead is evolving, and with the survival of the city at stake, a group of hardened mercenaries is called into action. For more details about Land of the Dead on Blu-ray, see the Land of the Dead Blu-ray Review Starring: Simon Baker, John Leguizamo, Asia Argento, Robert Joy, Dennis Hopper Director: George A. Romero Land of the Dead Blu-ray, Video Quality  Land of the Dead bites into Blu-ray with a solid 1080p, 2.35:1-framed transfer. Colors are excellent throughout the film, and even in the dark, bathed-in-blue sequences that open the movie, they stand out as natural under any lighting condition. Black levels are superb in most scenes, but a few shots show a hint of gray in the darkest areas. Detail is very good in most every shot. The wear and tear on the vehicles, particularly Dead Reckoning, shines through. The gore, in classic Romero style, looks fantastic as every severed limb, ripped chunk of flesh, exposed innards, decapitated heads, and drop of blood are clearly revealed in many shots throughout the movie. Grain spikes in a few scenes; otherwise, it's not present in abundance. Flesh tones veer to the red side of the spectrum and appear somewhat unnatural. Despite being drenched in darkness, the image has quite a bit of depth and many scenes jump off the screen. The interior of Kaufman's penthouse apartment is rich and lifelike with solid colors and realistic textures. Land of the Dead won't be nominated for year's best transfer, even if the contest was only between other Universal titles, but the transfer holds its own and, through its dark style, holds its own nicely. Land of the Dead Blu-ray, Audio Quality  Offering listeners a DTS-HD MA 5.1 lossless soundtrack, Land of the Dead brings its horrifying world to glorious life. The sound is rich, full, and immersive, and right from the dread-inducing score over the opening credits, which floods the soundstage with creepy notes and atmospherics, listeners will surmise that they're in for quite the treat. Excellent, rumbling bass accompanies the soundtrack and is palpable in a wide variety of sequences. Surrounds are used effectively and naturally to create a terrifying atmosphere of music and sound effects. Bass-heavy beats fill the soundstage, motorcycles drive to and fro around the listening area, fireworks explode and pop all around, gunfire emerges from every speaker, and splattering corpses and blood smack the pavement with nasty precision. The soundtrack also features some hard-hitting hip-hop numbers playing over one sequence of the film in chapter 8 that pulsates and pounds away with clarity and excellent fidelity. Dialogue reproduction is clean and crisp with no volume anomalies to report. This is one loud, tough-as-nails soundtrack that is reference material through and through. It gets the blood flowing and makes the movie all the more enjoyable.
