We Are Marshall Blu-ray
Warner Bros. | 2006 | 131 mins | Rated PG | Sep 18, 2007
We Are Marshall(2006)Drama | Sport     Based on true events, We Are Marshall tells an inspiring story of how a small town in West Virginia, steeped in the rich tradition of college football, struggled to restore their community after one of the worst disasters in the history of American sports. For decades, players, coaches, fans and families came together in Huntington to cheer on Marshall University's "Thundering Herd." For this team and this community, Marshall football was more than just a sport, it was a way of life. But on a fateful night in 1970, while traveling back to Huntington after a game in North Carolina, 37 members of Marshall's football team, plus coaching staff and team boosters, were killed in a plane crash. As those left behind tried to cope with the loss of their loved ones, they found hope and strength in the leadership of Jack Lengyel, a young coach who was determined to rebuild Marshall's football program and in the process help to heal a community.

The image has a very natural and lifelike quality about it. It appears as slightly aged and muted, creating in the viewer the mindset of 1970s West Virginia. Colors are rich and vibrant, and the greens of the Marshall football jerseys look especially robust. Flesh tones, mostly, look natural without appearing overly red. Black levels also fare well, though there are some instances where they appear overly bright, resulting in a dark gray and overly bright scene. I noticed a few instances of odd, harshly lit scenes that look to be more the fault of the transfer than an artistic decision in post production, but I cannot be sure. There is also a fine layer of inherent film grain scattered here and there. The image definitely looks good, but it's not spectacular. Still, this is one of the better transfers I've seen from Warner. Ultimately, the eye popping colors and unquestionable clarity of the image as a whole won me over. We Are Marshall Blu-ray, Audio Quality We Are Marshall is presented with both a Dolby Digital 5.1 track as well as a lossless Dolby TrueHD track that hovers around 3.5 Mbps. This is a pleasant and dynamic track that mostly picks up during the football sequences. We feel a part of the crowd as cheers surround the listening area, putting us in the stands with the rambunctious fans. Like the football scenes, the plane crash sequence proved to be equally engaging as the sounds of sirens, screams, and wails engulfed the room, emanating from each speaker with chilling effectiveness. Dialogue sounded perfectly natural and intelligible. Bass proved to be slightly disappointing as scenes with hard hitting football sounded "smaller" with less aural impact than I expected. On the whole, I was very pleased with this track. It's nice to see Warner utilizing high definition audio tracks rather than simply relying mostly on Dolby Digital tracks as they have in the past.
