This Christmas Blu-ray, Video Quality

  n/a


This Christmas sports a typical quality picture for a BD release from Sony. With an overall excellent transfer, the film is certainly the best it's ever looked, carefully focused theatrical presentation notwithstanding. A fine level of grain is present throughout, and the fine textures of skin and fabrics are well preserved. A rich color palette is often utilized, as the holiday settings give ample opportunity for lush production design. Reds are intense without compression problems such as posterization. Other tones like purples and greens are vivid and tend to draw one's eye upon their presence in a shot. Blacks are deep and display no crush, and no detail is lost in dimly lit scenes. Whites are a tinge warm, like the rest of the palette overall due to digital color grading in post production, but the brighter tones never bloom and go out of range. Contrast is excellent, detail is ever-present, and it may be firmly concluded that the film looks quite elegant on this Blu-ray release.


This Christmas Blu-ray, Audio Quality

  Array of 5


This Christmas comes with a surprising variety of audio tracks, including English (and curiously, Portuguese) Dolby TrueHD 5.1 mixes, as well as Spanish, French, and Thai in Dolby Digital 5.1. The original English audio is a clean lossless mix that is a rather typical specimen of dialogue-heavy dramedies like This Christmas. Conversation, mixed prominently to the center channel, is easily distinguishable even if a character mumbles indignantly to themselves over one spat or another. The soundtrack, consisting of several holiday tunes (most of them contemporary takes on established classics) is rich and warm, though reserved mostly to the fronts. The little ambiance utilized in the film can be heard from the rears, though overall the film is hardly a nuanced field of sound, being a fairly dry and inoffensive mix. The LFE is rarely used, save for the rare lively scene like a family excursion to El Rey Theatre. In all, the audio in This Christmas is serviceable to the subject matter, but doesn't much go above and beyond.
