MirrorMask Blu-ray
Sony Pictures | 2005 | 101 mins | Rated PG | Nov 18, 2008
MirrorMask(2005)Adventure | Drama | Family | Fantasy     The White Queen sleeps and will not wake. Black shadows have fallen across her kingdom. The balance between Dark and Light is broken and only the MirrorMask can restore it. So Helena, a stranger in a strange land, embarks on an epic quest to find the missing charm before darkness envelops the Dreamworld forever. Written by award-winning fantasy writer Neil Gaiman, MirrorMask is a phantasmagorical treat for the eyes and mind, a wondrous blend of live action and CG animation, where strange, magical creatures dwell in a fantasy world of unbridled imagination and scope, as told through the spectacular, cutting-edge visuals of designer/director Dave McKean. For more details about MirrorMask on Blu-ray, see the MirrorMask Blu-ray Review Starring: Jason Barry, Rob Brydon, Stephanie Leonidas, Gina McKee Director: Dave McKean MirrorMask Blu-ray, Video Quality  Mirrormask comes to Bluray in a dazzling 1080p/AVC encode framed at a 1:85:1 aspect ratio whose picture quality really is difficult to ascertain as it is very stylized. The usual adjectives one uses to describe film just do not apply here. Helena’s dream world is composed of large amounts of computer generated imagery interwoven with live action, real objects and people. Before Helena enters her dream world, colors look muted and disaturated, and a bit gloomy which provide a backdrop to what will happen once she enters her dream world. Once in her fantasy world, images take on a soft, diffused dream like quality, swimming with sepia tones, off white and other neutral colors. Black levels are deep, stable and consistently inky throughout the film. Red and its hues dominate the color palette, along with very well saturated greens and blues which give images a nice tonal register. Contrast is excellent, as whites are nicely rendered without over cooking them. Fine detail on foreground shots was excellent, but the background shots appear to be a bit diffused. Grain is well managed and never obtrusive under any conditions. David McKean’s images come across beautifully on this Bluray release, almost as if it was tailor made for this format. MirrorMask Blu-ray, Audio Quality Mirrormask audio features an excellent sounding 5.1 Dolby TrueHD soundtrack encoded at 16/48 kHz that is as compelling to the ears as McKean’s images are to the eyes. We are treated here with a soundtrack that is painted like a canvas, fully utilizing every space in the sound field to support the images on the screen. It is dynamic, nimble, playful and extremely well crafted. The sound field is filled with sounds of scurrying spiders, the flipping pages of flying books, ticking clocks, flying fish, a stone skipping across water that flow through the room ending in the surrounds. While most of the action is up front, the surrounds are used very effectively, with pans that move from front to back, and occasionally from back to front rather fluidly. The LFE is strong, with below 25 Hz signals at very high levels, but its use was strictly to compliment the bass in the main channels. There is an abundance of audio nuance which require a very quiet room to appreciate. Iain Bellamy’s Jazz laced score is infectious, and works perfectly with the visuals and the overall story line as well. No matter what was happening sound effects wise, dialog is always clear as a bell. This is one fantastic well crafted sound track that is very pleasing to the ears.
