The Prophecy(1995)
Tommy Dagget wanted to be a priest, but lost his faith and became a cop instead. When a physiologically abnormal individual is found murdered and a copy of Tommy Dagget's learned treatise on angels is discovered on the crime scene, he's assigned to investigate. What he uncovers is a literal war of angels. The archangel Gabriel has come to Earth to collect a soul hidden in the body of a little girl which will end the stalemated war in Heaven, and the former priest has to put a stop to him.

It's a lowly, sloppy, unfortunate effort that barely passes muster as HD material. There's quite a bit of dirt over the fuzzy opening titles. Unfortunately, the image never clears up, remaining speckled throughout. The image also appears to have been artificially sharpened, creating a harsh overlay that still gives way to terribly soft textures. Fine detail barely surpasses that of standard definition material; facial and clothing definition are disappointing to say the least, and most backgrounds yield no worthwhile high definition-like imagery. And that's not just in the movie's crushed-out dark scenes or red-filtered stretches. The absence of clarity and detail remains even in the movie's brightest outdoor scenes, too. A few close-up shots of ancient and battered religious texts do deliver a modicum of definition and crispness, but such are certainly the exception to the rule. Colors are terribly dull, but flesh tones are unusually warm. Slight banding and sloppy color gradations are evident, but not pervasive. This is a pretty lousy transfer, truth be told; even a movie as average as this deserves better. The Prophecy Blu-ray, Audio QualityEcho Bridge goes above and beyond for The Prophecy, granting the film a DTS-HD MA 5.1 lossless soundtrack rather than the studio's usual 2.0 presentation, lossless or otherwise. Unfortunately, such a big step up in specs doesn't result in an equally big step up in quality. While this is a serviceable and sometimes satisfying track, it just comes up lacking in most every area. The opening religious chants are nicely spacious and airy, effortlessly echoing around the soundstage thanks to good placement and strong surround support. The scene nicely immerses the listener in the moment, but it's perhaps the best and clearest the track has to offer. While Thomas' vision yields a chilling and encircling series of hellacious screams early in the film and various atmospherics set the stage in several scenes throughout, the track as a whole lacks the precision dynamics and clarity that would have truly brought it to life. Most heavier action sound effects lack detail and authority, but certainly don't fall completely flat. Dialogue is adequately conveyed, grounded in the center speaker and never lost to any other element. This is a fair track that gets the job done, but it's certainly not one of the better listens out there. Blu-ray bundles with The Prophecy (3 bundles)
