Resident Evil: Extinction Blu-ray, Video Quality

 


This 2.40:1, 1080p presentation of Resident Evil: Apocalypse is simply breathtaking. The image is of high detail and spectacular clarity. This is one of those transfers where I don’t see a need to draw out the strengths and weaknesses of the image. This is a true high definition experience that perfectly represents what a modern home theater can bring us. The look of the film ranges from dark, damp rooms to the bright whites and tans of the desert, and the disc handles each flawlessly. The image is clean and free of defects of any kind, as expected of a brand new movie. Though the film has a certain washed out quality about it, colors reproduction remains steadfast and the result is a lifelike image throughout. Black levels are spot-on with no wavering at all. Skin tones are amazing, and only a miniscule amount of grain is present. I noted no discernible flaws of any kind. This is one of the best transfers yet on Blu-ray.

As with the first film, Resident Evil: Extinction is presented with a Dolby TrueHD 5.1 soundtrack that will knock your socks off. The soundtrack is generally of a lesser bitrate than that accompanying the first film, running around 2-2.5 Mbps, but the result nonetheless is an engaging and intense track that delivers quite a punch. Right from the opening title sequence, we know we are in for a sonic blitz (and sonic bliss). This is heavy stuff. Tight, clean bass rumbles the house and the room is filled with the clean and precise beats of the music. Surrounds never let up. The viewer is always engulfed in crystal clear, lifelike sound. This track really made me jump a few times. The “zombie vulture” sequence was all-enveloping and particularly impressive. Once again, what I love most about these high definition tracks is the attention to detail. We hear clearly the most minute nuances, such as the constant chirping of crickets emanating from the rear speakers during a scene, creating a wholly realistic and palpable experience. It’s certainly a movie soundtrack with loud crashes, high pitched musical cues, and pumped up effects, but it nevertheless stays true to the small details and all of these together make Resident Evil: Extinction one of the best home theater experiences I’ve had to date.
