Trainspotting(1996)
Renton, deeply immersed in the Edinburgh drug scene, tries to clean up and get out, despite the allure of the drugs and influence of friends. For more about Trainspotting and the Trainspotting Blu-ray release, see the Trainspotting Blu-ray Review Starring: Ewan McGregor, Ewen Bremner, Jonny Lee Miller, Kevin McKidd, Robert Carlyle, Kelly MacDonald Director: Danny Boyle » See full cast & crew Trainspotting Blu-ray, Video QualityPresented in an aspect ratio of 1.78:1 (slightly cropped from its original aspect ratio of 1.85:1), encoded with MPEG-AVC and granted a 1080p transfer, Danny Boyle's Trainspotting arrives on Blu-ray courtesy of British distributors Film Four. The basics for this Blu-ray transfer appear to be mostly intact, but there are a few issues with it that should have been addressed. For example, contrast is adequate, with a lot of the daylight scenes looking very strong. Clarity is also pleasing, though, occasionally the transfer gets a bit soft. Additionally, the color-scheme is quite strong but, again, not very consistent. This being said, there is a good amount of edge-enhancement on this transfer, which those of you with large screens will likely notice. Macroblocking, however, is not an issue of concern. Furthermore, the transfer used by Film Four is quite healthy – there are no disturbing scratches, debris, dirt, or stains. To sum it all up, the Blu-ray release is most definitely an upgrade over existing DVD releases of Danny Boyle's film, but I think that it could have looked even better. (Note: This is a Region-B "locked release. Therefore, unless you have a native Region-B or Region-Free player you won't be able to playback it). Trainspotting Blu-ray, Audio QualityThere are two audio tracks on this Blu-ray disc: English DTS 5.1 and English Dolby Digital 5.1. I opted for the English DTS 5.1 track and later on did a few random comparisons with the Dolby Digital 5.1 track for the purpose of this review. Yes, it is a bit disappointing that the British distributors have not provided a lossless track of some sort on this disc. This being said, the English DTS 5.1 track is actually quite strong. First, the dialog is crisp, clear and exceptionally easy to follow (still, might be a good idea to turn on the optional English subtitles if you notice that the Scottish accents are a bit too thick). Second, there is a good dose of activity in the rear channels. Third, the bass is also potent. Additionally, the excellent soundtrack for example sounds particularly well. This being said, I did not detect any pops, cracks, or hissings to report in this review. I did not detect any balance issues either. Those of you who own Trainspotting on DVD should know what to expect from the English Dolby Digital 5.1 track- it treats the film rather well. It is also of acceptable quality and with absolutely no issues to report in this review. I must say, however, that I would have preferred to have a DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 track or a Dolby TrueHD 5.1 track instead. For the record, Film Four have provided optional English HOH subtitles for the main feature. Trainspotting: Other Editions
