Shrek the Third Blu-rayDreamWorks | 2007 | 92 mins | Rated PG | Sep 23, 2008
Shrek the Third(2007)Adventure | Animation | Comedy | Family | Fantasy ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Being king isn't for everyone — especially if you're an ornery ogre who smells like the shallow end of a swamp. When Shrek married Fiona, the last thing he wanted was to rule Far Far Away, but when his father- in-law, King Harold, suddenly croaks, Shrek is quickly fitted for the crown. Now, unless the reluctant would- be king can find a suitable replacement, he'll be royally screwed for the rest of his days. As if Shrek didn't have enough on his plate, Princess Fiona has another little surprise on the way. Reeling from the duties of running a kingdom and impending fatherhood, Shrek sets off on a quest to find the only other possible heir to the throne, Fiona's long-lost cousin Artie, a medieval high school outcast. While the ogre is away, his old nemesis Prince Charming rears his handsome head and returns to the kingdom of Far Far Away with redemption on his shallow little mind. Even with Donkey and the ever-so-suave Puss In Boots by their side, it's gong to take an ogre-sized effort — and a whole lot of help from Fiona and her band of princesses — for Shrek and Artie to save the day and find their own "Happily Ever Afters." For more details about Shrek the Third on Blu-ray, see the Shrek the Third Blu-ray Review Cast: Mike Myers, Eddie Murphy, Cameron Diaz, Antonio Banderas, Julie Andrews Director: Chris Miller Shrek the Third Blu-ray, Video Quality![]() Shrek the Third makes its debut on Blu-ray Disc with an AVC encoding averaging about 30 Mbps. Being a film fresh out of 2007 with completely digital origins, Shrek the Third looks excellent in this high definition transfer. The lushly detailed environments are done incredible justice in this release, with every rough surface or flower petal visible from any distance. The hyper-realism that DreamWorks employs on its human character designs in the Shrek series is quite plain to see here, with a hint of creepiness that hovers over the Uncanny Valley. The incredible amount of fur detail on Puss and Donkey, or the scaly hide of his mate Dragon, or even the pores and stubbly "shadow" on the face of the title ogre himself are so distinct, they may prove a bit distracting at times should one catch themselves marveling. Colors are reproduced well throughout - even the pervasive golden lighting on characters, which became a bit annoying after a while, truth be told. Still, it was the choice of one co-director or another to use those warm tones, and the Blu-ray captures them well. Shadow detail is excellent, and no compression artifacts or transfer flaws of any sort are apparent. Overall, this film looks quite superb on Blu-ray, but is there a CG animated film yet to be released that doesn't look stellar in high definition? Shrek the Third Blu-ray, Audio Quality![]() Boasting a nice array of audio options, Shrek the Third provides an English track in Dolby TrueHD 5.1, as well as Dolby Digital 5.1 tracks in Spanish, Portuguese, and French. The TrueHD mix does well in creating a believable soundscape for the film overall. Dialogue is clear and projects nicely from the center channel and the fronts, wherever the character's position calls. Scoring, as well as the film series' signature flavor-of-the-moment pop songs, play over the action but never drown it out. The rear channels do a fine job of engulfing the viewer in the ambient noise of rushing water, the ethereal flow of magic, or the discord of action scenes. Likewise, the LFE adds appropriate weight to the action onscreen without overdoing bass effects. This Blu-ray has an impressive aural presentation that does justice for its excellent picture quality.
