Lost: The Complete Fourth Season Blu-rayDisney / Buena Vista | 2008 | Not rated | Dec 09, 2008
Lost: The Complete Fourth Season(TV) (2008)Adventure | Drama | Mystery | Thriller ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() For more details about Lost: The Complete Fourth Season on Blu-ray, see the Lost: The Complete Fourth Season Blu-ray Review Lost: The Complete Fourth Season Blu-ray, Video Quality![]() "Lost: Season 4" Arrives on Blu-ray in full 1080P in its original televised aspect ratio of 1.78:1. Disney has, as usual, chosen the AVC compression codec to do the heavy lifting and the results are simply stunning. "Lost" is broadcast in 720P on ABC and this Blu-ray set is a major upgrade over the broadcast version from a picture quality standpoint. In addition to its superior resolution, "Lost" is also encoded at a much higher bitrate for Blu-ray and the set is noticeably more film-like than its broadcast counterpart. "Lost" is one of the few shows on television that is shot with as much attention to cinematographic technique as most high budget films. It's really a stunning visual experience. With the show's setting becoming more global, "Lost" was host to many more locations than ever before in season 4. In addition to the ubiquitous Island, the show visits Los Angeles, several Middle Eastern countries as well as various European locations. As a result, the show has adopted a more naturalistic approach to filming in each location. Colors are uniformly lush where appropriate and washed out and faded depending upon location. Similarly, various special filming techniques are used throughout the season to heighten the emotional and analytical impact of what unfolds on screen. I had never been as aware of the painstaking attention to detail that the production takes until I finally saw the show on Blu-ray. As such, this is a Blu-ray transfer that maintains an amazing sense of depth and detail throughout. Contrast is uniformly excellent with deep, satisfying black levels and exceptional attention to shadow details. Distracting picture artifacts are noticeably absent as well with the entire series of episodes achieving a very film-like appearance. "Lost" on Blu-ray is a must own title for fans of the show. For those not yet into the show, once season 4 rolls around for you, this set will not disappoint. Lost: The Complete Fourth Season Blu-ray, Audio Quality![]() Disney has wisely utilized uncompressed PCM 5.1 sound for "Lost: Season 4". Along with the vast improvements in picture quality offered on Blu-ray, the show's audio is leaps and bounds better than that which is broadcast on ABC. While "Lost" does occasionally feature exciting action sequences that come across akin to a big budget action movie, the majority of the show is dialogue driven affair with the occasional atmospheric effect perfectly integrated for ambience. Of course, "Lost" is an inherently creepy show and the series' sound designers have apparently had a great deal of fun with loads of spooky rear channel activity that amps up the chill factor. Dialogue is also extremely well presented and overcomes the occasional shortcomings of broadcast Dolby Digital that crop up in the show's regular TV airings. "Lost" also features a remarkable musical score that is littered with the occasional dash of popular music. This is also well presented and placed perfectly within the mix. The show does a remarkable job of creating a spacial feel with its sound design. This helps to create an enveloping experience that transports the viewer into the lives of the characters within the show. It might not be a constantly flashy experience, but is is extremely effective.
