Notorious Blu-rayUnrated Director's Cut Collector's Edition20th Century Fox | 2009 | 129 mins | Unrated | Apr 21, 2009
Notorious(2009)Biography | Drama | Music ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() In just a few short years, Notorious B.I.G. rose from the streets of Brooklyn to become one of the most influential hip hop artists of all time. B.I.G. was a gifted storyteller; his narratives about violent life on the streets were told with a gritty, objective realism that won him enormous respect and credibility. His stories were universal and gave a voice to his generation. For more details about Notorious on Blu-ray, see the Notorious Blu-ray Review Notorious Blu-ray, Video Quality![]() Notorious comes to Blu-ray with a high quality 1080p transfer, framed inside a 2.40:1 window. The imagery as presented is consistently sharp and crisp, accompanied by well-above-average levels of detail in most every scene. Colors, too, are bold. The many shades of blue, green, red, orange, and others seen throughout, particularly in the bright and bold clothing, offer strong clarity and vibrancy, with a natural flair that lends to the movie a good, realistic appearance. The urban jungle that is 1980s Brooklyn looks fantastic, too, cinematically pure and revealing all the texture and detail of the bricks, pavement, and other objects seen scattered about the streets. The film sees several dark, smoky interior shots, and these, too, hold up well under the scrutiny of 1080p. Film grain spikes, deliberately so, here and there, but is generally minimal in appearance throughout the course of the movie at normal viewing distances. Finally, flesh tones remain stable and natural throughout. Notorious offers a fine representation of how a movie with plenty of varied looks can excel on Blu-ray. Notorious Blu-ray, Audio Quality![]() Notorious pumps out the beats on Blu-ray with an often stellar DTS-HD MA 5.1 lossless soundtrack. One might expect a film chronicling the life of one of the world's most famed Hip-Hop artists to offer tremendous levels of bass, and that assumption is proven correct here. Notorious packs quite the punch on the low end, and in every scene where bass accompanies the visuals, the track shines. From the many Hip-Hop beats to the rumbling of an idle car engine, this track manages to shake the foundation, rattle the windows, and roll the rib cage in every one of its intense sequences. The track features decent environmental ambience, too; the sounds of the city at street level or the background ambience in a club or concert hall generally create a noticeable atmosphere. Dialogue reproduction is also superb. While the track excels in most every area, there is no doubt that the highlight remains its music and bass. Beats thump out of the speakers with a great deal of authority and the many concert scenes engulf the listener with sounds that often "Hypnotize." No doubt about it, Notorious makes for another winning lossless soundtrack from the potent Fox/Blu-ray combination.
