Disney / Buena Vista | 2005 | 119 mins | Rated PG-13 | Oct 17, 2006
The Brothers Grimm(2005)Action | Adventure | Comedy | Fantasy | Horror | Thriller Legendary fairytale scribes Jake and Will Grimm are two brothers who travel around the Napoleonic countryside vanquishing monsters and demons in exchange for quick money. But when the French authorities figure out their scheme, the con men are forced to contend with a real magical curse when they enter an enchanted forest where young maidens keep disappearing under mysterious circumstance. Many of their renowned fairytales including Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood and Hansel&Gretel are woven into the story as the Brothers Grimm are forced to confront all that their imaginations have brought to life. For more details about The Brothers Grimm on Blu-ray, see The Brothers Grimm Blu-ray Review Starring: Matt Damon, Heath Ledger, Jonathan Pryce, Monica Bellucci Director: Terry Gilliam The Brothers Grimm Blu-ray, Video Quality Given the dark and murky atmosphere of The Brothers Grimm, anything less than a superb transfer would have been a total mess. Fortunately, Disney has stepped up to the plate and offered The Brothers Grimm on Blu-ray with a nearly flawless 1080p transfer using the AVC compression codec. The print used is free of any dirt, scratches or dropouts. A film with the complex visual style of The Brothers Grimm really showcases the benefits of high definition. Shadow detail is superb with the smallest visual details perfectly presented in even the darkest of scenes. There is a terriffic sense of depth to the picture that really pops off the screen. Black levels are rock solid and color accuracy is nothing short of phenomenal. I didn’t detect even the slightest bit of edge enhancement, mosquito noise or artifacts. There are tons of scenes in this film that could have really fallen to pieces given a poor transfer. Fortunately, The Brothers Grimm is perfectly rendered -- smooth, film-like and never distracting. Take for instance the many interior scenes in the film: I was particularly impressed with wall textures and fabrics. Just about every interior shot features some sort of textured stucco or plaster wall in the background. You can clearly make out every shadow and nuance of this texture. It’s just really impressive stuff. Also pay particular attention to the costumes. I could clearly make out extremely fine fabric details and intricate design patterns. The Brothers Grimm is a visual feast on Blu-ray. The Brothers Grimm Blu-ray, Audio Quality The Brothers Grimm is presented with Dolby Digital 5.1 sound as well as uncompressed PCM 5.1. While the Dolby Digital track is very strong, the PCM track is out of this world. The soundstage was completely enveloping in PCM with crisp high frequency details and outstanding bass. It really is amazing how much more natural and open the uncompressed track feels. Surrounds were extremely active with scores of ambient effects and directional sound. There are many instances within the film where action shifts from the front to rear channels and vice versa. This seamless and enveloping surround track is utterly convincing. It took me all of about 20 minutes before I stopped marveling at the sound and simply found myself immersed in the experience. Outstanding. |
