The Soloist(2009)
Journalist Steve López discovers Nathaniel Anthony Ayers, a former classical music prodigy, playing his violin on the streets of L.A. As López endeavors to help the homeless man find his way back, a unique friendship is formed, one that transforms both their lives. For more about The Soloist and the The Soloist Blu-ray release, see The Soloist Blu-ray Review published by Martin Liebman on August 1, 2009 where this Blu-ray release scored 3.5 out of 5. Starring: Jamie Foxx, Robert Downey, Jr., Catherine Keener, Tom Hollander, Lisa Gay Hamilton, Rachael Harris Director: Joe Wright » See full cast & crew The Soloist Blu-ray, Video QualityThe Soloist debuts on Blu-ray with a high quality 1080p, 2.39:1-framed transfer. Offering up an image that generally sparkles, The Soloist features a level of clarity that's consistently superb. The transfer delivers natural and accurate colors that carry over to flesh tones. Textures on objects such as walls, both near and far, feature that "reach out and touch me" sort of appearance. Detail is well above average throughout; both the beautifully-finished gift cello Nathaniel receives and his worn, scratched, and otherwise damaged two-string violin look magnificent on-screen. Depth is a strong suit; long-distance objects tend to look sharp and distinct with solid visible detail. Grain is not abundantly heavy in any one scene. Blacks are generally strong, though the image seems to look artificially bright in some places. Blu-ray fans should be satisfied with this strong effort from DreamWorks. The Soloist Blu-ray, Audio QualityThe Soloist plays on Blu-ray with a fulfilling Dolby TrueHD 5.1 lossless soundtrack. As to the non-musically inclined segments, the track serves up some wonderful directional effects. A plane flies left to right, and an ambulance travels through the soundstage from front to back. Ambience is one of the track's strong suits; most every scene comes alive with some sort of environmental support that places the listener directly into the midst of each scene. An interior hospital shot early in the film offers up chatter, rolling gurneys, mechanical beeps, and ringing telephones that fill the soundstage with realistic effects. The soundtrack's more direct moments, for example the music playing through Lopez's stereo in chapter four, sounds full, rich, and wonderful. The track's most prominent feature, of course, comes in the form of the many scenes featuring Nathaniel -- or some cases others and even entire orchestras -- playing instruments. The melodic strings of the cello flow through the soundstage with positively stunning results, allowing the listener to absorb every note. Also delivering crystal-clear dialogue reproduction, The Soloist makes for a somewhat subdued but otherwise strong and well-mixed soundtrack. The Soloist: Other Editions
