The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2 Blu-ray, Video Quality

 


Sisterhood travels on to the Bluray format in the form of a 1080p/VC-1 encoding framed at 1:85:1 aspect ratio that quite frankly looked pretty darn good. The source print looks to be in prime shape, as I could not detect any source related artifacts. Colors were bright, punchy, and vibrant, and well saturated with skin tones that looked natural and well detailed. The big shots of Greece looked incredibly detailed, sharp and three dimensional well back into the background. Blacks were deep and inky, and shadow detail was excellent, but sometimes pushed to a bit of crush. Whites were bleached white, without bluing or looking blown. The combination of deep blacks and white whites gave the overall picture quite a dynamic range. Film grain is fine, well controlled, and never objectionable during the entire film. Images were always naturally sharp without any trace of edge enhancement to be found. This is what high definition is all about.

Thank God Warner thought to include a lossless Dolby TrueHD 5.1 encode on this title, even if it is more dialog driven than effects driven. With the focus on dialog, the surrounds and LFE channel are barely used, and while more surround support could have contributed more to each scene, the LFE was not really needed. Dialog was quite clean, so clean that you could hear the individual timbre and inflections of each character voice with ease. It was also well integrated into each scene, and did not sound like ADR mixed in with live audio like so many movies do. Occasionally the surrounds would kick in lightly which help to create a room tone, indicate a rooms size, or the sounds of outdoors. The only scene that used the 5.1 palette effectively came in the form of a dream sequence which featured a thunderstorm that had the surrounds, mains, and to a lesser degree the LFE really kicking. However most of the bass in that sequence came from the main channels, with the LFE providing support. Most folks would hear all of the bass coming from the sub, which would present a different audio presentation than I would get. Once again, this soundtrack is not going to fry your amps, or pop the driver out of your sub, but the mix fits the visuals excellently.
