  n/a


The Water Horse: Legend of the Deep surfaces in Blu-ray high definition with an excellent transfer that is only overshadowed by the incredible sound mix of the film. This 2.40:1 transfer is breathtaking, and from the opening moments of the film we are treated to some of most lush and vibrant scenery I've encountered so far on Blu-ray, the rolling green hills of Scotland (filmed in New Zealand) providing the backdrop for this incredible tale. Nearly every frame is crystal clear and sharp, offering up excellent clarity and definition. A few indoor shots suffer from a bit of haziness or softness, but these are few and far between, truly the only blemish I noted during the course of the movie. The level of detail is incredible; even loose threads and random hairs or fuzzies seen on clothing are visible plain as day when the camera is appropriately close enough to make them out. Every color is distinct and vibrant; even the various shades of brown and tan of the military uniforms presents viewers with a pleasant array of color, though the vast, wonderful greens of the yards and foliage seen throughout definitely steal the show from a visual perspective. Flesh tones are also presented naturally and accurately so far as I could tell. Black levels are excellent, and the look of the film and quality of the transfer holds up very well even in many dire sequences, including a nighttime rainstorm where a mediocre or poor transfer would definitely show its lack of depth, clarity, and overall brilliance. Here, every detail, every pixel, every frame holds its own, the image never missing a beat even in the most difficult-to-reproduce sequences. Another excellent transfer from Sony, The Water Horse: Legend of the Deep is a visual feast and an overall excellent image worthy of the Blu-ray label.

The Dolby TrueHD 5.1 soundtrack found on this Blu-ray disc is one of the most remarkable I've heard yet. Not only is it active -- it's very active -- but remains clean and manageable, never becoming so loud and engaging as to lose definition and detail of sound. The movie begins with a pleasing and relaxing introductory music from legendary composer James Newton Howard (Batman Begins) that is reproduced with amazing clarity and attention to detail, absolutely room-filling and wondrous to behold, a marvelous way to begin the proceedings. Dialogue reproduction is excellent; I never encountered a problem discerning what was being said, and the Scottish accents were never so thick as to make dialogue interpretation difficult, and I never once thought about turning on the subtitles. Surround sound presence is nonstop throughout, creating not necessarily a "barrage" of sound, but more like a "natural" level of sound, and some of the more action-oriented and loud sequences are only appropriately raucous, never overly so. I love underwater sequences, if only for the recreation of sound possible in such scenarios, and we have a few good ones here, one in particular that is downright frightening in realism, making you feel completely submerged, the pressure of the water tightening around you, and it's a remarkable experience. There are many other powerful and effective effects, such as a thunderstorm heard early in the movie, sounding as good as the real thing, encircling the viewer with rain and the booms and reverberations of thunder, creating an all-too-real atmosphere. The subwoofer is used to great effect in many sequences. A scene where a convoy of approaching military trucks and equipment not only rattles the windows of the house seen in the film, but those in my media room as well. The LFE channel definitely gets a full workout throughout the course of this film. Sounds pan seamlessly from all directions, front to back, back to front, left to right, and right to left, and the result is one of the most natural soundtracks yet. Imaging is excellent and discrete effects come from all directions, the result being a realistic experience that's nearly second-to-none. Overall, this is simply one of the finest soundtracks yet on the Blu-ray format. Bravo!
