Serenity Blu-rayUniversal Studios | 2005 | 119 mins | Rated PG-13 | Dec 30, 2008
Serenity(2005)Action | Adventure | Sci-Fi | Thriller ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Captain Malcolm Reynolds, a hardened veteran (on the losing side) of a galactic civil war, who now ekes out a living pulling off small crimes and transport-for-hire aboard his ship, Serenity. He leads a small, eclectic crew who are the closest thing he has left to family--squabbling, insubordinate and undyingly loyal. When Mal takes on two new passengers--a young doctor and his unstable, telepathic sister--he gets much more than he bargained for. The pair are fugitives from the coalition dominating the universe, who will stop at nothing to reclaim the girl. The crew that was once used to skimming the outskirts of the galaxy unnoticed find themselves caught between the unstoppable military force of the Universal Alliance and the horrific, cannibalistic fury of the Reavers, savages who roam the very edge of space. Hunted by vastly different enemies, they begin to discover that the greatest danger to them may be on board Serenity herself.

Universal has chosen to stick with VC-1 as their compression scheme of choice for the film, and the results are quite impressive. The majority of the film is rather dark and it would be easy for a lesser encode to fail to produce acceptable black levels and shadow detail. Fortunately, Universal has done a fine job in delivering an outstanding and detailed transfer. When the film moves into brighter scenes, colors are remarkably saturated and fine detail shines through in a stunning manner. I was particularly impressed with the film's exceptional fabric and skin detail - - every thread and pore is easily distinguishable. In addition, I didn't detect a trace of artificial sharpening or any vulgar picture anomalies. Serenity is the very definition of demo material and is a stunning addition to the ranks of stellar Blu-ray video experiences. Highly recommended! Serenity Blu-ray, Audio Quality![]() Serenity is as aurally pleasing as it is visually. Universal has provided the film's action packed and explosive soundtrack in full 5.1 DTS-HD Master Audio lossless glory. To say this is an exciting and dynamic track would be an understatement. Surround activity is massive with loads of effective panning effects. Explosions, gunshots and rockets blast from each channel with an intense and immersive sense of ambience and separation. The film's score, by David Newman, builds on themes from the "Firefly" television show and helps to deliver the emotion behind the action. Dialogue is also handled exceptionally well while low frequency information will engage your subwoofer in a thunderous cacophony of deep, rumbling bass. Serenity will tick off your neighbors, impress your friends and scare the living hell out of the cat. Highly recommended!
