X-Men Blu-ray
20th Century Fox | 2000 | 104 mins | Rated PG-13 | Apr 21, 2009
X-Men(2000)Action | Adventure | Sci-Fi | Thriller     Born into a world filled with prejudice are children who possess extraordinary and dangerous powers -- the result of unique genetic mutations. Cyclops unleashes bolts of energy from his eyes. Storm can manipulate the weather at will. Rogue absorbs the life force of anyone she touches. But under the tutelage of Professor Xavier (Patrick Stewart), those and other outcasts learn to harness their powers for the good of mankind. Now they must protect those who fear them as the nefarious Magneto (Ian McKellen), who believes humans and mutants can never co-exist, unveils his sinister plan for the future! For more details about X-Men on Blu-ray, see the X-Men Blu-ray Review Starring: Patrick Stewart, Hugh Jackman, Ian McKellen, Halle Berry Director: Bryan Singer X-Men Blu-ray, Video Quality  X-Men arrives on Blu-ray with a solid 1080p, 2.35:1-framed transfer. This one is not quite as sharp, clear, and detailed as the very best Blu-ray has to offer, but it is certainly no slouch either, easily besting the previous DVD releases and making for very good high definition material. Fine detail is fairly good across the board. Skin textures, the various types of clothing seen throughout, and the warm interiors of the above-ground classroom settings of the mutant school all look sufficiently good. The transfer handles all the varied materials thrown its way nicely, including colorful outdoor shots; the cold, blue-gray steel interior of the deeper sections of the X-Men headquarters; and even the nearly colorless beginning sequence featuring a young Magneto at a German POW camp during World War II where the yellow of the stars worn on prisoners' shirts stands out against the otherwise dull, lifeless, and depressing imagery. Flesh tones veer towards the red end of the spectrum in many shots, and black levels are consistently above-average but not quite as consistently deep and inky as one might expect. Grain is barely noticeable at normal viewing distances, and the print sees only the occasional speckle. Overall, X-Men is a fine transfer where every aspect is several steps above any previous home video release, but the image is not quite as pristine as some of the newer Blu-ray releases. X-Men Blu-ray, Audio Quality  X-Men explodes onto Blu-ray with a devastating and incredibly aggressive DTS-HD MA 5.1 lossless soundtrack. The opening title sequence practically explodes out of the speakers, and as the movie moves on to a World War II -era Nazi prison camp, a downpour fills soundstage while the score, sound effects, and loud, sometimes screaming voices emanate from the front of the soundstage with precision and vigor, accompanied by a fine amount of support from the rear. The sound effect of Magnetos' influence over the camp's metal gate sounds fantastic, with a penetrating and deafening creak and grown accompanied by some of the lowest and most powerful bass yet heard on Blu-ray. Indeed, bass is just devastating throughout, representing some of the purest and deepest rumblings this side of The Incredible Hulk. The film's many action sequences continue to make for devastating listens; explosions are powerful and hard-hitting and the surround speakers are put to consistent use throughout. A scene in chapter 16 is a fantastic example of the track's power, featuring Magneto making use of a machine that mutates a man. The disc is rounded out by crystal clear dialogue reproduction. Once again, 20th Century Fox has delivered a superb sonic experience.
