The Phantom(TV) (2009)
Chris Moore is an urban daredevil who gets his kicks racing across rooftops. When a secret organization approaches him with proof that he is actually son of a legendary international crime fighter called The Phantom, he is thrust into a world he never knew existed – a world of exotic islands, secret lairs, and a heritage that borders on royalty. Re-imagined and re-loaded, this classic superhero is upgraded for the 21st Century with a new, state-of-the-art costume and a newly formed rivalry against some of the most techno-savvy villains to ever terrorize the world! It’s explosive action and nonstop adventure from start to finish as The Phantom comes to life! For more about The Phantom and The Phantom Blu-ray release, see The Phantom Blu-ray Review Director: Paolo Barzman The Phantom Blu-ray, Video QualityThe Phantom wafts onto Blu-ray with a surprisingly strong and sharp looking VC-1 encoded transfer, in full 1080p and an aspect ratio of 1.78:1. The first thing which jumps out in this miniseries is the really nicely filtered shots of several cityscapes, which give the glittering lights and dappled water an eerie, otherworldly glow, full of bright and sometimes just slightly bizarre colors. Detail is excellent sharp throughout this feature, to the point where it's actually a detriment a time or two, especially with regard to the miniature utilized for the outside of the Skull Cave set, which just looks like it wandered in from a second grader's plaster of Paris experiment. The miniature jet utilized in a couple of sequences also doesn't stand up to the high resolution of the Blu-ray. Otherwise, though, detail is sharp and clear, and colors are beautifully saturated, with a nicely variegated palette. Everything from the cool blues of the evil "cable company" to the yellowish tint of The Phantom's island hideaway are delivered with superb results. A couple of very minor aliasing issues popped up with some fine patterns in a couple of costumes, but they were extremely minimal. The Phantom Blu-ray, Audio QualityWhile The Phantom's DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 mix is generally pleasant, with a couple of really excellent uses of immersion in some of the Parkour segments, overall it suffers from the front heavy mix that seems to plague so much television. While dialogue is crisp, and the source music cues are well mixed, I couldn't help but hope for a little more variety in the soundfield. There is some attention paid to detail in the action sequences, where some of the foley effects are clearly directional. The running and jumping sounds in the freerunning sequences are probably the best example of this, but even relatively more subtle moments, as when Singh swings a golf club at one of his underperforming henchmen, pan nicely. Overall, this is an acceptable mix with excellent fidelity, which features a few standout sequences, but it could have been considerably more immersive.
