Prison Break: The Final Break Blu-ray, Video Quality

 


Prison Break: The Final Break debuts on Blu-ray with a satisfactory 1080p, 1.78:1-framed transfer. While nothing about the transfer jumps out as appearing completely remarkable, it does make for a solid watch that never completely disappoints in any one area. Detail is adequate throughout; a prison cafeteria scene early on doesn't offer much to look out outside the white-and-red prison uniforms and drab, monotone concrete walls, but the few odds and ends scattered about on inmate's trays -- for instance a small carton of milk -- stand out rather nicely against the otherwise pedestrian imagery. Likewise, a few close-up shots of the prison's interior concrete walls and its exterior brick walls offer a fabulous, almost tactile texture. Colors suffice; there's never an abundance of bright colors save for a few fly-over shots of Miami and some random eye-catching hues here and there. Generally, however, the image tends to look slightly processed, flat, and lifeless. Flesh tones tend towards a slight shade of red, and blacks occasionally drown out detail. Overall, Prison Break: The Final Break looks adequate for what it is, a direct-to-video conclusion to a fairly popular television show, and the Blu-ray serves up a high definition transfer that will neither greatly impress viewers nor completely disappoint.

Prison Break: The Final Break Blu-ray, Audio Quality

 


Prison Break: The Final Break busts out with a DTS-HD MA 5.1 lossless soundtrack. Perhaps this track's most noticeable trait is the incredibly bass-y dialogue that doesn't sound all that natural. Meanwhile, much of the track seems disproportionately loud; for instance, sound effects and music often compete with dialogue for the position of dominant sound in any give scene. The seaside wedding at the beginning and the subsequent celebration are overpowered by crashing waves and tropical music that sound fine but just seem bent on dominating the dialogue. The Final Break does offer up a fairly robust rear-channel presence -- for instance serving up the clanking of silverware, the chatter of inmates, and the slamming of doors -- but many of the effects that flow from the back are guilty of trying to overpower the listener. The end result is a jumbled deluge of sound in places that tends to pull the listener out of the experience while trying to sort it all out rather than drawing the listener in with a natural-sounding audio presentation.
