The Express Blu-ray

The Express(2008)Biography | Drama | Sport     The true story of Ernie Davis, two-time All-American running back for Syracuse University who led his team to the national championship in 1960. In 1961, he became the first black man to win the Heisman Trophy. For more details about The Express on Blu-ray, see The Express Blu-ray Review Starring: Rob Brown, Dennis Quaid, Omar Benson Miller, Darrin Dewitt Henson, Charles S. Dutton Director: Gary Fleder The Express Blu-ray, Video Quality  The Express enters the record book on Blu-ray with a stunning high definition video presentation, framed in its theatrical aspect ratio of 2.35:1. This transfer is astounding in every shot. Film grain is gloriously retained throughout, adding to the experience a film-like look that seems to have come straight off a first-run showing at a top-quality theater. The Express on Blu-ray is a home presentation of film looking its best, with a depth, color presentation, and attention to detail virtually second to none. The first time Davis walks through Syracuse University's campus in chapter five, both he and viewers are greeted by stunningly reproduced green grass and trees in bloom, the gorgeous textures of the buildings, and the wet sidewalks. Detail far and wide is both eye-catching and natural, every texture and subtle characteristic brought to vivid life. His subsequent entrance into the stadium, with the greenest, most perfect green turf, positively mesmerize on this disc. Flesh tones range from perfect to perfect, and blacks are as inky, deep, and true as they may be, with no loss of detail in the darker scenes. The film simply shines in the bright outdoor sequences; Davis's first collegiate game, as seen in chapter eight, reveals nothing but true-to-life imagery, the sequence, and others like it, a sanctuary of sports, a gateway into the past, and the top of the mountain of home theater imagery. Everything comes together in perfect harmony throughout this transfer, making it one of the absolute best on the market today. The Express Blu-ray, Audio Quality  The Express rolls onto the high definition Blu-ray format with a hard-hitting yet eloquently reproduced DTS-HD MA 5.1 lossless soundtrack. Certainly, the track shines during the football sequences, reproducing every hit with the utmost clarity and attention to detail, but outside the contests, the track remains proficient, with strong, crisp dialogue, a score that plays precisely across the front with support from the rears, and fantastic ambience heard all around, wholly engaging listeners and placing them in the midst of very scene. Whether surrounded by the chirping of birds in outdoor scenes or on the dance floor at a college social as heard in chapter seven, real-sounding ambience surrounds listeners, with excellent directional effects and subtle environmental ambience that adds a realistic flair to each and every scene. The Express features a great period soundtrack that benefits greatly from its lossless presentation. The instrumental score is positively rousing, too, powerful and concise, with a dramatic edge combined with a rah-rah college flair, and when merged with the big hits and slams of the games, it makes for a fantastic listening experience. What more can be said? Universal puts six more points on the board with another first-class sound presentation.
