RocknRolla Blu-ray
Warner Bros. | 2008 | 116 mins | Rated R | Jan 27, 2009
RocknRolla(2008)Action | Crime     A Russian mobster orchestrates a crooked land deal, putting millions of dollars up for grabs and attracting all of London's criminal underworld. For more details about RocknRolla on Blu-ray, see the RocknRolla Blu-ray Review Starring: Gerard Butler, Tom Wilkinson, Thandie Newton, Mark Strong, Idris Elba Director: Guy Ritchie RocknRolla Blu-ray, Video Quality  RocknRolla makes its Blu-ray debut in a VC-1 encoded 1080p transfer in its original aspect ratio of 2.40:1. It’s an odd-looking movie, to be sure, and viewers might be immediately taken aback by the sepia-toned color scheme of the presentation. Don’t adjust your set, however, as this is the look director Guy Ritchie and Cinematographer David Higgs intended for the movie. RocknRolla was shot entirely on high definition video cameras and, unlike many features shot on video, no attempt has been made to try to simulate the look of film. The image is consistently smooth and has a washed out look that is light on detail and heavy on sheen. Make no mistake, RocknRolla is a tough transfer to grade. I can only assume that the look represented on this Blu-ray disc is representative of the intent of its creators, but it’s just not a whole lot of fun watch. The majority of the image is, as I mentioned earlier, a brownish sepia-toned hue that becomes tiresome during the course of the movie. I didn’t detect and abnormalities in the image; halos, edge enhancement and noise were all conspicuously absent. Vibrant color does appear from time to time and helps to break up the monotony of the movie's nearly monochromatic image. Given my assumption regarding the intentions of the filmmakers, I’ll rate RocknRolla with an above-average score of 4/5. There’s nothing wrong with the image, but I doubt many viewers will be calling on the movie as demo material. RocknRolla Blu-ray, Audio Quality Fans of lossless audio will be pleased to learn that RocknRolla has been given the 5.1 Dolby TrueHD treatment on Blu-ray, despite the limited capacity of its BD25 disc. The film is dialogue heavy, with only a smattering of action-oriented scenes. As such, much of the presentation is centered in the front soundstage and features a mix of music and dialogue. For those of you who have trouble deciphering English accents, no lossless encode will help you in your quest to discern much of the dialogue in RocknRolla. Regardless, the track does an admirable job of reproducing voices, music and the occasional gunshot. Don’t look for too much surround action, however. When called for, this TrueHD track does provide some nice dynamics, bass and limited surround activity that will please action fans to some degree. Much like the film’s video encode, there’s nothing wrong with the film’s surround track. In the end, while performing its tasks as well as is necessary, RocknRolla's TrueHD track simply isn’t demo-worthy.
