Pretty Woman Blu-rayDisney / Buena Vista | 1990 | 120 mins | Rated R | Feb 10, 2009
Pretty Woman(1990)Comedy | Drama | Romance ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Vivian (Julia Roberts) is a spirited, streetwise diamond in the rough when she meets no-nonsense billionaire Edward (Richard Gere). It's a chance encounter that turns a weeklong business arrangement into a timeless rags- to-riches romance when Edward hires Vivian to be his date and discovers there’s a lot more to her than meets the eye. Pretty Woman on Blu-ray Hi-Def is sure to seduce viewers all over again with its celebrated comedy, charm and passion! For more details about Pretty Woman on Blu-ray, see the Pretty Woman Blu-ray Review Starring: Richard Gere, Julia Roberts, Ralph Bellamy, Jason Alexander, Laura San Giacomo Director: Garry Marshall Pretty Woman Blu-ray, Video Quality![]() Pretty Woman looks better than ever in this 1080p high definition transfer, the film presented in its original 1.85:1 aspect ratio. The film is colorful and pleasing to the eye in most every shot. It's not overly bright, perhaps a shade or two dimmer than may be expected, in fact, but those familiar with the movie will note that it looks just as it should. Black levels are wonderful; the nighttime street-level shots of Beverly Hills during the film's first act are splendid. Flesh tones occasionally look slightly red, but are mostly stable and pleasing. Fine detail is adequate, not mind blowing, but good, and certainly far better, obviously, than any previous VHS, LaserDisc, or DVD version has offered. Bright outdoor scenes fare the best; a polo sequence in chapter eleven is the highlight of the film from a purely visual, high definition perspective. Natural film grain is present throughout that adds a sometimes surprisingly gritty feel to several sequences, but also lends to the film a nice theatrical feel. This one is definitely not going to set the high definition world on fire the way Baraka or I, Robot did, but it's still a real treat to see a classic like this looking as good as it does here. Fans should be absolutely thrilled by this release. Pretty Woman Blu-ray, Audio Quality![]() Pretty Woman shines in high definition with a lovely PCM 5.1 uncompressed soundtrack, and the film has never sounded better, at home anyway, and probably theatrically, too. The best part of the experience is enjoying the classic soundtrack, which plays better than ever. The music isn't overplayed, over-pumped, or in any way phony sounding, but is rather natural and pleasant. It's all focused up front, with a nice amount of heft accompanying each song. Christopher Otcasek's Real Wild Child, David Bowie's Fame 90, Roxette's It Must have Been Love, and Natalie Cole's Wild Women Do are among the selections that lend to the film its stature as an all-time classic soundtrack, bring back memories of the 1990s, and, of course, sound fantastic in PCM 5.1 lossless audio. Roy Orbison's Pretty Woman, heard briefly and instrumentally for the first time in chapter 10, delivers a nice bit of low bass, the best in the film. Then, the song begins in full over a brief montage, delivering a clear but classic sound. There is a nice sense of space to the track, particularly across the front, especially in regards to the popular music and atmosphere. The rear channels don't receive much action, but that's alright. This is a character- and dialogue-driven story that allows the acting, direction, sets, popular music, and script to carry the story, and the soundtrack supports this perfectly. Like the video, Pretty Woman's soundtrack won't amaze the senses, but it's very good for what it is, and what it needs to accomplish.
