South Pacific Blu-ray, Video Quality

  5.0 of 5

20th Century Fox presents South Pacific on Blu-ray with a gorgeous 1080p, 2.20:1-framed transfer. The film looks positively immaculate, and is proof-positive of the power and wonder of the Blu-ray format in its ability to revive the classics. Perhaps the most striking aspect of the disc is the mesmerizing color reproduction. Blues are the most pleasing to the eye, both in the beautiful and clear Pacific waters and the denim-colored shirts worn by the seamen. The sandy beaches and the tan-colored Naval dress uniforms, in addition to the lush and lovely green vegetation, all come together to offer the film a pleasing, classic technicolor look. As noted above, the film will sometimes drastically alter its color scheme, with particular hues dominating the scene that reinforce the themes of love and loss in the film. The image may take on a heavy blue or golden tint, for example, that lends a very uniform and unique look to the picture. South Pacific also enjoys excellent detail throughout; the wooden appointments of the military headquarters, the clothing, and the vegetation all offer viewers the chance to absorb the finer details and textures of practically every object on-screen. Flesh tones are consistently accurate throughout, and the disc sports a fine layer of film grain that lends a wonderful finishing touch on what is one of, if not the, finest transfers -- classic catalogue title or not -- available on Blu-ray. With releases like South Pacific, 20th Century Fox has positioned itself as the leader in quality in classic catalogue releases on Blu-ray.


South Pacific Blu-ray, Audio Quality

  4.0 of 5

South Pacific debuts on Blu-ray with a quality DTS-HD MA 5.1 lossless soundtrack, in addition to four-channel and two-channel Dolby Digital tracks. Like the video, the soundtrack is a pleasure to behold. Dialogue and song lyrics are presented with authority and vigor, strong and clear as the solos flow from the center channel with the singing of the full cast emanating from the entire front soundstage. From the most raucous of songs to those sung quietly and "internally" -- the characters thinking to themselves in song -- all are presented clearly and accurately. The accompanying orchestral music is strong and clear, each instrument heard distinctly and together making for a harmonious, pleasant, crisp experience. The rear channels are sparsely used, the best outburst heard during an action sequence near the end of the film. Atmospherics are decent; the rolling Pacific waves may be heard rushing onto the beach in several scenes, with the water audibly flowing, albeit lightly, across the front. The film's action-oriented sequences, such as a plane under fire from surface flack, rumble the soundstage a bit while the constant hum of the propellers spreads out across the front, doing a decent job of placing the listeners in the craft's cockpit. The lossless soundtrack adds a nice bit of extended range and clarity to the experience. Thankfully, the presentation here hasn't been aggressively re-mixed to throw music and effects all over the soundstage. South Pacific makes for a pleasant, high-quality listen that supports the lavish visuals nicely.
