Mr. Popper's Penguins(2011)
When a house painter inadvertently receives some penguins from a friend in Antarctica, he decides to train them as a circus act. For more about Mr. Popper's Penguins and the Mr. Popper's Penguins Blu-ray release, see the Mr. Popper's Penguins Blu-ray Review published by Casey Broadwater on December 8, 2011 where this Blu-ray release scored 3.0 out of 5. Starring: Jim Carrey, Carla Gugino, Angela Lansbury, Madeline Carroll, Clark Gregg, David Krumholtz Director: Mark Waters » See full cast & crew Mr. Popper's Penguins Blu-ray, Video QualityShot using the Arri Alexa digital motion picture camera—Arri's new answer to the popular Red One—Mr. Popper's Penguins glides effortlessly onto Blu-ray with a 1080p/AVC encode that's sharp, clean, and vibrant. 20th Century Fox has shown consistently that they know how to treat their contemporary and catalog titles right—look no further than this week's fantastically restored re-release of Tora! Tora! Tora!—and Mr. Popper is no different. Simply put, you get a sense that this is exactly how the film is intended to look. There's no digital noise reduction, no halo-inducing edge enhancement, no over-the-top color grading—just an image that's almost noiseless, naturally crisp, tonally balanced, and free from any overt compression artifacts. I could ramble on about the defined textures of Jim Carrey's face or point out endless examples of vivid color, but that's ultimately unnecessary. What you need to know is this: Mr. Popper's Penguins may not be the most visually interesting film you'll see this year, but there are really no complaints to be made about its picture quality. Okay, one—at the end of the film, you'll notice some strong moiré shimmer on Jim Carrey's suit jacket. But that's it. The film looks wonderful. Mr. Popper's Penguins Blu-ray, Audio QualityI also have a single complaint about the lossless DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 surround track included here, although it's more of a sound design grievance —that godawful squawk those penguins make, a throaty honk that made me reach for my remote to turn down the volume every time I heard it. Really, it's almost as grating as fingernails on a chalkboard. Otherwise, the film features the kind of pleasing, moderately engaging sound design that you expect from a big budget family comedy. Most of the action is anchored up front, but the rears channels are used quite often for effects and ambience, from water rushing towards us and New York City street sounds to the swooshing of the penguins as they go shooting down the Guggenheim's spiral ramp. There's even a scene where we hear the penguins causing a multi-directional ruckus in Popper's apartment, arousing a neighbor's suspicions. Popper shrugs and replies, "Digital surround sound." Indeed. The film also features a rather dramatic, large-scale orchestral score by Rolfe Kent, and the music sounds appropriately rich and dynamic. Dialogue throughout is clear and easy to understand. The disc also comes with French and Spanish dubs in Dolby Digital 5.1, along with optional English SDH and Spanish subtitles. Mr. Popper's Penguins: Other Editions
