Rainier the Mountain

 (TV)

Rainier the Mountain Blu-ray offers solid video and audio in this excellent Blu-ray release

Experience the allure of the Pacific Northwest's most enduring symbol in high definition! This breathtaking documentary, previously seen on public television, is from the Emmy Award-winning veteran producer Jean Walkinshaw. Celebrate the dangerous beauty of Mount Rainier, its national park and hear the story of the volcano. Ascend cliffs and cross icy crevasses with the mountain's fearless climbing guides, and hear from scientists attempting to predict the next explosion. Intriguing historical footage, a beautiful soundtrack and spectacular views make Rainier the Mountain an escape for the senses!

Rainier the Mountain Blu-ray, Video Quality

  3.5 of 5

The bulk of Rainier the Mountain's 1080i VC-1 encoded image is beautifully sharp. Colors are OK, if a bit skewed toward the yellow side of things, especially in flesh tones. When we do get a brightly variegated palette, as in some of the shots of the wildflowers, reds, purples and greens all pop very nicely. Unfortunately there are a few instances of artifacting, notably some distracting shimmer on such items as mountain peaks and silver fox fur. Overall, though, the interlaced source material holds up very well. As you might expect, some of the archival footage is in pretty rough shape and a lot of it was obviously blown up from 16mm, or in a couple of cases, even what looks to be 8mm, source elements. These segments do display some damage, grain and fuzziness.


Rainier the Mountain Blu-ray, Audio Quality

  3.5 of 5

As seems to be Topics' wont with these bargain priced Blu's, only a Dolby Digital 2.0 soundtrack is offered. Strangely, there's little to no ambient sound on this outing, only a pleasant collection of music tracks, some of them ethnically tinged Native American pieces, with others being more grounded in the Western classical or pop traditions. On screen interview segments and the occasional narration all sound clear and crisp and are unfailingly front and center. Taken in and of itself, this is a fine soundtrack. Taken in the context of high definition Blu-ray potential, it's woefully inadequate.
