Wanderlust(2012)
George and Linda are an overextended, stressed out Manhattan couple. After George is downsized out of his job, they find themselves with only one option: to move in with George's awful brother in Atlanta. On the way there, George and Linda stumble upon Elysium, an idyllic community populated by colorful characters who embrace a different way of looking at things. Money? It can't buy happiness. Careers? Who needs them? Clothes? Only if you want them. Is Elysium the fresh start George and Linda need? Or will the change of perspective cause more problems than it solves? For more about Wanderlust and the Wanderlust Blu-ray release, see the Wanderlust Blu-ray Review published by Kenneth Brown on June 13, 2012 where this Blu-ray release scored 3.5 out of 5. Starring: Jennifer Aniston, Paul Rudd, Malin Akerman, Justin Theroux, Alan Alda, Lauren Ambrose Director: David Wain » See full cast & crew Wanderlust Blu-ray, Video QualityWanderlust's 1080p/AVC-encoded video transfer is sharper than its comedy, even though a mild, sun-drenched softness sometimes permeates the proceedings. Detail is still quite good, mind you -- with a fine veneer of pleasant grain, reasonably well-resolved textures and clean, lifelike edge definition -- but bronzed skintones, low lighting and earthy shadows take a small toll. Fortunately, there aren't any technical shortcomings to point to. Colors remain warm and natural throughout (even when rich oranges and yellows dominate the palette), primaries are strong, contrast is consistent, delineation is rather revealing, and crush is in very short supply. Better still, artifacting, banding, aliasing, ringing and other eyesores are nowhere to be found, and a few instances of negligible shimmering is the only issue remotely worth mentioning. Wanderlust's high definition image may not drop many jaws, but its lovely, true-to-its-source transfer will impress nonetheless. Wanderlust Blu-ray, Audio QualityThere's no mistaking Universal's DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 surround track as belonging to anything other than a low-brow comedy. Dialogue is clear, bright and punchy, not to mention the obvious focus of Wanderlust's chatty, front-heavy sound design. The rear speakers are mainly relegated to supporting Craig Wedren's poppy music, the ambience of Elysium's forest wanderland, and the occasional directional effect. None of it should be discounted or dismissed -- Elysium is brimming with light, airy activity that initially makes the commune that much more alluring and, eventually, that much more absurd -- but it isn't all that remarkable either. Low-end output is a tad subdued as well, although a variety of gags, falls, car crashes and drug trips take greater advantage of the LFE channel. None of that is to suggest that there's anything wrong with the film's lossless mix -- there isn't -- there just isn't that much to comment on other than the proficiency and finesse of the track. Ultimately, there isn't really anything to complain about. Comedy fans visiting Elysium for the first time will feel right at home.
