National Security Blu-ray, Video Quality

 


National Security powers onto Bluray with a 1080p/AVC encoding framed in a 1:85:1 aspect ratio that is above average much like Blue Streak, but not exceptional. The source does have some very light dirt and scratches, but is otherwise pretty clean. Blacks are deep and solid, and contrast appears pretty spot on. Colors are nicely rendered without being oversaturated. Grain is fine and well managed, with only a few scenes having just a little more grain than average. I never detected any compression artifacts or edge enhancement, just a nice sharp film like quality that we pleasing, but not exceptional. This is definitely an upgrade from the DVD and worth the trade up if you are into Martin Lawrence’s movies.

National Security Blu-ray, Audio Quality

 


National Security sports a serviceable 5.1 English Dolby TrueHD soundtrack encoded at a 16/48 kHz bit and sample rate. Much like Blue Streak, this is a very front centric with spotty surround support. This movie is mostly dialog and it is always clean and clear, and never obscured by effects or music. LFE usage is spotty, but it effectively supports the sound effects and music when called upon. The music will work your sub more than the sound effects will. The overall mix is pretty conservative for the most part, with small spurts of surround action, some ambience, and some front pans. As conservative as the overall mix is, it is not short on dynamics when things get going.
