Smallville: The Complete Sixth Season(TV) (2006)
No synopsis for Smallville: The Complete Sixth Season. For more about Smallville: The Complete Sixth Season and the Smallville: The Complete Sixth Season Blu-ray release, see the Smallville: The Complete Sixth Season Blu-ray Review Starring: Tom Welling, Allison Mack, Kristin Kreuk, Michael Rosenbaum, John Glover, Erica Durance » See full cast & crew Smallville: The Complete Sixth Season Blu-ray, Video QualitySmallville: The Complete Sixth Season features a decent 1080p/VC-1 transfer that made a solid splash in 2007, but has since lost some of its luster in light of more recent, technically proficient BD television releases. Luckily, the picture isn't a complete bust. A consistent parade of vibrant colors populate a primary-splashed palette, immediately recalling the bold reds and blues of the series' comicbook roots. Contrast is comfortable, stable, and bright, resulting in inky blacks and believable image depth. Saturation is spot on as well with skintones that are far more natural than they appear on the DVD edition. Detail is also fairly impressive -- fine textures are often crisp and realistic, object edges are generally well defined, and on-screen text is sharp and legible. Several hazy shots and soft close-ups manage to muck up the proceedings, but most of the clarity issues seem to be the product of the series' source rather than a faulty technical transfer. That doesn't mean the transfer is without serious flaws. Heavy digital noise, distracting clusters of artifacts, errant crushing, and faint banding appear several times in every episode. While I wouldn't go so far as to say it ruins the entire presentation, such disruptions left me feeling as if I was watching an HD broadcast signal. All things considered, Smallville: The Complete Sixth Season delivers a passable rendition of the series and looks substantially better than its standard DVD counterpart, but its visuals simply don't compete with current BD releases. Smallville: The Complete Sixth Season Blu-ray, Audio QualityReleased long before lossless audio became a Blu-ray staple, Smallville: The Complete Sixth Season doesn't include anything more than a standard Dolby Digital 5.1 surround track (encoded at 640kbps). It gets the job done and handles the series' limited soundscape with ease, but lacks the punch and fidelity of a TrueHD or DTS HD MA mix. For the most part, dialogue is clean and intelligible, the rear speakers enhance the soundfield with a decent array of ambient effects, and pans are relatively swift and transparent (at least for a television show). The experience is certainly front-heavy, but the action scenes are more immersive and effectively draw viewers into the chaos. Likewise, low-end extension is surprisingly underwhelming at times and occasionally non-existent at others, but still delivers a fair share of satisfying thooms and booms when Clark takes on his latest superfreak foe of the week. Unfortunately, directionality is imprecise, voices sometimes get lost beneath the on-screen destruction, and dynamics are frequently weaker than I expected (particularly compared to the Blu-ray edition of The Complete Seventh Season). In the end, diehard fans will shrug their shoulders and accept the track for what it is, but everyone else will wish each episode had more polish and power. Smallville: Other Seasons
