Chechik National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation Blu-ray, Video Quality![]() Warner Brothers' 1080p, 1.78:1 Blu-ray presentation of National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation surpasses in quality all previous home video releases, save, of course, for the identical 2006 Blu-ray. Nevertheless, the image retains what has always been a rather flat and soft appearance that surprisingly still manages to look fairly pleasing overall. It's nothing spectacular, but for a 20-year-old comedy, it looks fine. Detail is moderately high, particularly in scenes that feature brighter lights and a wider array of colors. Flesh tones look solid enough, colors are moderately vibrant, and black levels appear fine, but not magnificent. There are some pops and nicks evident over the print throughout, particularly in establishing and long-distance shots. Outdoor scenes fare well, too, though snow-covered terrain and a generally negligible sense of depth only take the image so far. This Blu-ray isn't a cut-and-try "must upgrade" release over standard definition DVD presentations, but fans that don't already own the film will certainly enjoy this decent Blu-ray presentation. National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation Blu-ray, Audio Quality![]() National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation is presented with a Dolby Digital 2.0 audio track. It sounds fine, all things considered, an example of a movie and a mix that have little to offer beyond the basics. There’s not much in the source material to work with, and this is a front-heavy audio experience with the vast majority of the sound emanating from the center channel speaker. Obviously, the rear channels enjoy a 90 minute holiday with this disc in conjunction with the absence of any sort of low end, and there are but a few sound effects and musical notes spilling over and out of the left and right front channels. As a 20-year-old dialogue-driven Comedy, not much more is to be expected. Said dialogue comes across pleasantly enough; there's nothing that ever really distracts from or hinders it. Though not at all anything resembling a robust sound presentation, National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation covers the basics, and as such, it sounds fine when considered in the proper context.
