This Is Cinerama(1952)
Presented in Smilebox format for 16:9 screens. For more about This Is Cinerama and the This Is Cinerama Blu-ray release, see the This Is Cinerama Blu-ray Review Director: Robert L. Bendick » See full cast & crew This Is Cinerama Blu-ray, Video QualityPresented in an aspect ratio of approximately 2.56:1, encoded with MPEG-4 AVC and granted a 1080p transfer, This is Cinerama arrives on Blu-ray courtesy of Flicker Alley. As it was the case with the restoration of Windjammer: The Voyage of the Christian Radich, David Strohmaier and his colleagues had access to limited funds to make sure that This is Cinerama looks as best as possible. They could not scan the original negative (which apparently is not in a terribly good condition), but worked with a 65mm dupe negative which was made in the early '70s from a rejected print. Needless to say, the restorers had to spend a great deal of time to address all sorts of different anomalies. Generally speaking, detail and especially clarity are often pleasing. There are some fluctuations as well as minor alignment issues, but overall the basics are rather decent. Some color fluttering also remains, but its presence never becomes distracting. In fact, during the second act color saturation is often very good. Specs, debris, and various scratches have been removed and the film now looks quite healthy. Furthermore, as much grain as possible has been retained to make sure that the integrity of the film is preserved. However, it is quite clear that definition and depth could have been even better. Finally, there are no serious stability issues to report in this review. All in all, considering the type of elements the restorers had to work with as well as the fact that they had to operate with a small budget, I think it is fair to say that what could have been done to make This is Cinerama look presentable was done. (Note: This is a Region-Free Blu-ray disc. Therefore, you will be able to play it on your PS3 or SA regardless of your geographical location). This Is Cinerama Blu-ray, Audio QualityThere are two audio tracks on this Blu-ray disc: English DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 and English Dolby Digital 2.0. For the record, Flicker Alley have not provided optional English subtitles for the main feature. There are sequences where the lossless track really impresses. For a film now sixty years old, the depth and range of dynamics are quite remarkable. In the first act, in particular, the variety of dynamics is outstanding. The narration is also exceptionally crisp, clean, and stable. Quite beautiful, indeed.
