The Mask Blu-ray
New Line Cinema | 1994 | 97 mins | Rated PG-13 | Dec 09, 2008
The Mask(1994)Action | Comedy | Crime | Fantasy     This is the story of mild-mannered bank clerk Stanley Ipkiss (Jim Carrey), who has just discovered a mysterious ancient green wooden mask by the sea that is inhabited by Loki, the Norse Night God of Mischief. When Stanley puts on the mask, he magically transforms into an uncontrolled wacky-suited green-skinned cartoony manic superhero, "The Mask," who does the craziest things and amazes people in search of justice and a good time too. SMOKIN'! For more details about The Mask on Blu-ray, see The Mask Blu-ray Review The Mask Blu-ray, Video Quality  The Mask slides onto the Bluray format in a 1080p/VC-1 encode framed at a 1:85:1 aspect ratio. The source appears completely free of blemishes, scratches, and pops. Black levels are excellent, stable, and inky deep, but shadow detail is occasionally lost in a slight black crush. Contrast seems dialed down a bit, but not enough to flatten the depth and pop of the images, but enough to dampen the difference between whites and dark areas. Colors are well saturated, vividly and boldly presented, preserving the cartoonish look of the film. I did see signs of DNR, but it was not as objectionable as I have seen on other titles; but it did give images a slightly glossy look. Grain is fine and well controlled always maintaining a film like quality throughout the flick. Detail and sharpness are variable, and there are no signs of edge enhancement that I could see. While the picture quality was just a tad soft, it is a big trade up from all of the DVD releases of the film up to this point. The Mask Blu-ray, Audio Quality New Line/Warner graces “The Mask” with a English 5.1 Dolby TrueHD track encoded at a 16/48khz bit and sample rate which is quite good for a 15 year old movie. While primarily front focused, there is nice usage of the entire 360 degree sound field, as cartoonish sound effects are smoothly panned from channel to channel in the front hemisphere, and occasionally spilling into the rear channels. Randy Edelman score is nicely recorded, but spread so wide it is on the edge of sounding of sounding fractured and noncoherent. The overall sound tends to pool around the speaker location, never reaching into the room, but having decent depth. The LFE is used well, presenting deep, tight bass that nicely enhances the sound effects. Dialog is always intelligible even in the presence of sound effects and music. While not up to the standards of today digital tracks, the sound track sounds very good for a 1994 release.
