My Bloody Valentine 3-D Blu-rayLionsgate Films | 2009 | 101 mins | Rated R | May 19, 2009
My Bloody Valentine 3-D(2009)Crime | Horror | Mystery | Thriller ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Ten years ago, a tragedy changed the town of Harmony forever. Tom Hanniger, an inexperienced coal miner, caused an accident in the tunnels that trapped and killed five men and sent the only survivor, Harry Warden, into a permanent coma. Then, exactly one year later, on Valentine's Day, Harry Warden woke up--and brutally murdered twenty-two people with a pickaxe before being killed. Ten years later, Tom Hanniger returns to Harmony on Valentine's Day, still haunted by the deaths he caused. Struggling to make amends with his past, he grapples with unresolved feelings for his ex-girlfriend Sarah, who is now married to his best friend Axel, the town sheriff. But tonight, after years of peace, something from Harmony's dark past has returned. Wearing a miner's mask and armed with a pickaxe, an unstoppable killer is on the loose. And as his footsteps come ever closer, Tom, Sarah and Axel realize in terror it just might be Harry Warden who's come back to claim them. For more details about My Bloody Valentine 3-D on Blu-ray, see the My Bloody Valentine 3-D Blu-ray Review My Bloody Valentine 3-D Blu-ray, Video Quality![]() Lionsgate presents My Bloody Valentine 3D on Blu-ray with the option of viewing either the 3D or standard 2D versions of the film, each presented in 1080p high definition and framed at 1.85:1. The 3D version is given more weight towards the final score as it is representative of the true intent of the film and the option most audiences will select. 3D Version Generally, the 3D works to fantastic effect, perhaps the best overall presentation yet on the Blu-ray format. Though it lacks slightly behind the aforementioned Journey to the Center of the Earth in terms of the number of "protruding" objects that seem to jump straight into the audience, the film's overall sense of depth and mostly clean lines make it a superior all-around performer. While this version features an obvious depth that looks marvelous, it does see a heavy pinkish tint about much of the imagery. Colors blend and appear generally dull, but the sacrifice of color and detail for the depth is a worthwhile trade-off in exchange for the novelty of the experience. Despite the mostly clean lines, several moderate-to-bad ghosting effects plague some shots, but much of the film appears seamless with only a slight bleed-over that most viewers will, and should, ignore. Confined only by the size of the screen, My Bloody Valentine 3D delivers the goods, and is sure to work even better with larger displays. While it lacks in traditional "good points" like color and detail, the film works incredibly well as-advertised and fans taking it in proper context should be thrilled with the 3D presentation. 2D Version My Bloody Valentine 3D (the 2D experience) offers up a rather solid but visually uninteresting transfer. While it often features a fair level of detail in both the foreground and the background, it sometimes takes on a hazy appearance that slightly obscures the finest of details and color. Bright, very well-lit sequences look the best, the meeting between Sarah and Tom at the grocery store in chapter seven making for one of the better-looking scenes. The gore also works well here, the intricate detail of the wounds and the gallons of blood look far better in 2D than they do in the 3D version. Flesh tones appear somewhat ghastly, blacks sometimes take on a grayish tint, and a bit of banding is visible here and there. The many sequences inside the mineshaft generally fare the worst. The 2D transfer certainly suffices, but ranges between solid and mediocre HD material. My Bloody Valentine 3-D Blu-ray, Audio Quality![]() Lionsgate once again provides listeners with a 7.1 channel DTS-HD MA soundtrack that brings the film to sonic life. The audio is typical of Lionsgate's new releases in that it plays aggressively with plenty of deep bass and surround use the engulfs the entire soundstage to chilling effect. Dialogue occasionally sounds muffled, though it seems to mostly be a result of actors mumbling their lines rather than a problem with the soundtrack. A fair amount of ambience is also present. The mine's alarm klaxon, for instance, rings out with a splendid and all-encompassing effect that seems to surround listeners in a realistic circle of sound. Some good, discrete effects may be found scattered around the movie, for example some heard in the background during the set-up to a confrontation in a grocery store in chapter 11 that further enhance the scene's creepy atmosphere and pending violence. Music plays crisply, and higher-pitched sounds, such as screams, are delivered with pinpoint precision. My Bloody Valentine 3D doesn't match the finest lossless soundtracks out there, but it gives the sound system a good workout and satisfies the aural sense nicely.
