The Ugly Truth Blu-ray, Video Quality

 


One thing that's definitely not ugly about The Ugly Truth is Sony's gorgeous 1080p, 2.40:1-framed transfer. It's becoming old hat to review these pristine and film-like transfers from the studio, but it never gets old watching them. This transfer instantly transports viewers to the local high-quality multiplex thanks to its incredible detail, rich color palette, stunning detail, crisp definition, and nice sense of depth. As typical of a Romantic Comedy, the colors throughout take on a slightly warm tint, but they appear stable and pleasing to the eye in every scene. The Ugly Truth is abundantly colorful, and many scenes jump off the screen thanks to both the color reproduction and solid level of detail that's seen in practically every scene; whether the darker, bluish-gray interior of the television control booth or several bright exteriors, fine detail on every surface impresses a great deal. Black levels are marvelous, and flesh tones never veer too far from a natural shade, despite the warmth of the color palette. Rounded out by a very subtle but nicely-preserved grain structure, The Ugly Truth represents another fantastic new release from Sony.

The Ugly Truth features a strong DTS-HD MA 5.1 lossless soundtrack that's as good as the video transfer. Other than music, there's little more than dialogue and light atmospherics to be found herein, but each is so wonderfully presented that the general lack of a whiz-bang, action-packed soundtrack is soon forgotten once the various pop songs blare through the sound system. Music plays with fantastic power but also pitch-perfect clarity. It also comes with a good bit of bass in tow and a noticeable rear-channel presence. A club scene in chapter 13 -- featuring a song with a decidedly Latin beat -- excels with a wonderfully crisp delivery and a healthy low end that turns the living room floor into the dance floor. While several musical pieces represent the sonic highlight of the track, it's made complete by solid atmospherics in several locales. Ringing phones in offices, clanking dishes and silverware in a restaurant, and a light but impressive general din throughout does well to compliment each and every environment, including a baseball game scene in chapter nine that effectively places the listener in the bleachers. Rounded out by strong dialogue reproduction, The Ugly Truth delivers another superb soundtrack from Sony.
