The Book of Eli(2010)
A lone hero must fight his way across the wasteland of a post-apocalyptic America to protect a sacred book that holds the key to saving the future of humanity. For more about The Book of Eli and the The Book of Eli Blu-ray release, see The Book of Eli Blu-ray Review published by Martin Liebman on June 1, 2010 where this Blu-ray release scored 4.0 out of 5. Starring: Denzel Washington, Gary Oldman, Mila Kunis, Ray Stevenson, Jennifer Beals, Evan Jones Directors: Albert Hughes, Allen Hughes » See full cast & crew The Book of Eli Blu-ray, Video QualityThe Book of Eli wanders onto Blu-ray with a superb 1080p, 2.39:1-framed transfer that's been sourced from the film's original digital elements. Like The Road, The Book of Eli takes on a dingy, gray, cold, and desolate visual scheme. It's certainly not nearly as pronounced here, though; this is a far more balanced image that features plenty of light even through the picture's darker recesses that cover much of the film. This allows for greater detailing and texturing to stand out on-screen while the film retains that inhospitable visual scheme, and the Blu-ray delivers the picture's every nuance splendidly. Detail is so fine that viewers could count the number of individual speckles of dust that are seen floating about a bright light source offset against a dark background in one early scene. Even such diminutive objects look sharp and natural, and float in such a way so as to heighten the transfer's strong sense of depth that's readily evident in most every scene. The transfer also manages to capture even the finest of details in pebbles and grains of dirt and sand that make up the post-apocalyptic landscape, while also showcasing the finest lines and pores on faces, caked-on dirt and grime that covers an older iPod, and the wear-and-tear seen on war-torn environments and well-used weapons. The picture's color scheme is reserved at best, the film taking on a predominantly gray tone accentuated by deep and penetrating blacks that are perfectly balanced against the brighter in-frame elements. Blacks are strong and inky and rarely drown out finer detail and never appear unnaturally bright. The film demands to be seen on larger screens to better appreciate the scope of the landscape and the wonderful production design, and the Blu-ray allows for a sharp, crisp image at any reasonable high definition size. Flesh tones are accurate insofar as they remain true to the picture's bleak visual tone, and only a slight bit of banding in a few scenes interrupts what is otherwise a wonderful Blu-ray transfer from Warner Brothers. The Book of Eli Blu-ray, Audio QualityThe Book of Eli explodes onto Blu-ray with a powerhouse DTS-HD MA 5.1 lossless soundtrack. This is one smooth track; it's big, crisp, and wonderfully detailed, with every speaker in the arsenal coming out to play and engaging in Action movie mayhem in several scenes that will leave audiences breathless with the realism of everything from gunshots to crashing vehicles. Said gunshots ring out with a precision and realism rarely found in movies; there's a sense of honesty to the gunfire where it's not over-exaggerated but rather frighteningly natural. Bullets zip through the listening area during several shootouts and traverse through the speakers with alarming ease; this one might have listeners ducking for cover. Indeed, imaging is superb as various sounds -- whether gunfire, vehicles moving from one side of the screen to the other, or any number of environmental effects -- make their way about the soundstage with an ease and efficiency that's been captured to this level of perfection in but a few other soundtracks. Ambience both light and moderately heavy is supremely impressive as well; whether gusting winds or creaks and pops inside worn and unstable structures, listeners will feel like a part of the environment in most every scene. The DTS track also delivers a potent low end that's incredibly deep and impeccably precise and tight. Rounded out by pitch-perfect dialogue reproduction, The Book of Eli sounds even better than it looks and delivers a reference-quality listen. The Book of Eli: Other Editions
