Mysterious Island Blu-ray
Echo Bridge Entertainment | 2005 | 170 mins | Not rated | Oct 28, 2008
Mysterious Island(TV) (2005)Action | Adventure | Fantasy | Sci-Fi     Escaping from a Confederate prison camp by balloon, five survivors land on an uncharted island in the Pacific. Far from being a sanctuary, the island is home to carnivorous monsters, bloodthirsty pirates, and the mad genius, Captain Nemo, who inhabits the mysterious island for his own strange ends. For more details about Mysterious Island on Blu-ray, see the Mysterious Island Blu-ray Review Mysterious Island Blu-ray, Video Quality  Echo Bridge presents Mysterious Island on Blu-ray with a 1080p, 1.78:1-framed transfer. The image retains a bit of noise throughout, though rarely does it appear abundantly heavy. Some edge enhancement is also visible. Blacks are sufficient but slightly lacking, coming off as a very dark shade of gray in most instances, and flesh tones appear red in most every scene. Colors are decent, and there are many to be seen. Daytime shots easily fare the best; the introduction of a red and orange pirate ship in chapter 10 is one of the nicest looking scenes in the film, and all of the bright, daytime shots around the island look crisp, nicely defined, and sharp. Detail is adequate in many shots, certainly no great shakes compared to the best of Blu-ray, but at least average; the numerous plants and vegetation seen around the island, and the many objects scattered throughout Nemo's home, offer viewers a bit of eye candy in an otherwise average looking transfer. Mysterious Island Blu-ray, Audio Quality  Listeners may discover Mysterious Island on Blu-ray via either a 5.1 lossy Dolby Digital track, or a two-channel PCM mix. Neither are particularly impressive; the Dolby Digital track features a solid presence across the front. Both music and sound effects play adequately; for example, a rain storm during the escape early on in the film, and the subsequent musket shots that try to bring the balloon down, sound reserved and lacking in clarity. Almost the entire soundtrack is focused in the center channel, with some nice ambient effects spilling over to the front right and left channels. Even though it is a 5.1 mix, the rears are rarely utilized, a missed opportunity to truly engulf the listener in the experience. Various sound effects don't add much oomph, either; the film's climax features plenty of loud and varied sounds, but none of them really play with any sort of strength or clarity compared to the best lossless offerings. The PCM track isn't all that much different, perhaps slightly more clear, but no more or less impressive. For a made-for-television miniseries, these audio offerings are about as good as one may expect.
