Up Blu-rayPIXARDisney / Buena Vista | 2009 | 96 mins | Rated PG | Nov 10, 2009
Up(2009)Action | Adventure | Animation | Comedy | Family ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() 78-year-old balloon salesman Carl Fredricksen finally fulfills his lifelong dream of a great adventure when he ties thousands of balloons to his house and flies away to the wilds of South America. But he discovers all too late that his biggest nightmare has stowed away on the trip: an overly optimistic 8-year-old Wilderness Explorer named Russell. Their journey to a lost world, where they encounter some strange, exotic and surprising characters, is filled with hilarity, emotion and wildly imaginative adventure. For more details about Up on Blu-ray, see the Up Blu-ray Review Up Blu-ray, Video Quality![]() Up brushes against the stratosphere with a dazzling, picture-perfect 1080p/AVC-encoded transfer that boasts more breathtaking spectacle and stunning scenery in a single shot than many high definition presentations deliver in two hours. Pixar's palette simply spills off the screen. Color and contrast are impeccable, black levels are bottomless, and detail is extraordinary. Note the string on every balloon, the tiny grooves in Carl's face, the soft feathers that adorn Kevin's back, the rust and grime caked on Muntz' dirigible, individual strands of Dug's fur, distant leaves and flowers in the jungle, weathered shingles on a high-altitude rooftop, the fuzz on the tennis balls beneath Carl's walker. Need I go on? Definition is sharp, fine textures are crisp and refined, and artificial nonsense like edge enhancement is MIA. Moreover, the technical transfer is spotless. That's right, you won't find an artifact or band once you depart from the disc's main menu, and noise is non-existent. The Blu-ray edition of Up represents everything high definition has promised its adopters since the very beginning. Animation enthusiasts and videophiles of all ages will be ecstatic with the results. Up Blu-ray, Audio Quality![]() Disney has once again paired a striking video transfer with an equally jaw-dropping, exceedingly faithful, and incredibly involving DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 surround track. It takes a lot to turn my head in the middle of a movie, but I found myself laughing maniacally at the sheer complexity and quality of the sound pouring out of my speakers. Dialogue never wavers, voices are never lost in the mix, and vocal clarity and weight is astounding. The LFE channel gets a full workout as well, dutifully supporting the slightest thooms and the most abrupt booms Carl and Russell's adventure has in store. The rear speakers are just as active, injecting enough environmental ambience and aggressive directional effects into the proceedings to make soundfield immersion an absolute cinch. Moreover, pans are velvety, dynamics are resonant, and Carl's bunched balloons make their presence known at every turn. With jungles, caverns, and living rooms that sound so fantastic, so utterly natural, it's tough to imagine how the track could be improved. Make no mistake, Disney has churned out another sonic standout; one that's sure to elicit wide eyes and hushed whoas from every member of the family.
