The Grey(2012)
A group of oil-rig roughnecks are left stranded on the sub-arctic tundra after their plane experiences a complete mechanical failure and crashes into the remote Alaskan wilderness. The survivors, battling mortal injuries, biting cold and ravenous hunger, are relentlessly hunted and pursued by a vicious pack of rogue wolves.

All of you Universal bashers out there (and you know who you are) who insist Universal is seemingly genetically incapable of providing transfers with natural grain intact (at least with regard to their catalog releases), rejoice! The Grey is one of the outright grainiest looking films in recent memory, obviously by design, something that gives the film a certain cinema verité ambience. The grain does tend to occasionally overwhelm the image, especially in snow strewn scenes where there's an expanse of white, littered with nothing other than the specks of grain. Contrast is intentionally kept on the low side quite a bit of the time, leading the murky shadow detail, again no doubt by design. While this transfer doesn't exactly scream high definition, it very accurately reproduces what Carnahan and cinematographer Masanobu Takayanagi were obviously going for. While the film has obviously been tweaked in post to desaturate and filter the image, this is a great looking presentation for the most part which remains incredibly cinematic and faithful to the look of the original theatrical exhibition. The Grey Blu-ray, Audio QualityThe Grey's lossless DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 mix is, in a word, impeccable. Surround activity is completely consistent throughout the film, creating a wide open sound field through which everything from whistling wind to howling wolves floats, sometimes incredibly ominously. Discrete channelization is the norm rather than the exception, with a huge variety of well placed ambient environmental effects immersing the listener in a very real seeming sonic environment. The plane crash presents especially fine work, with the terrifying sound of jet engines in distress and some really riveting LFE when the plane starts to break apart. Dialogue is well handled and well prioritized, but it's the nonstop recreation of the elements that is the most striking thing about this reference quality lossless soundtrack.
