X2: X-Men United Blu-ray
20th Century Fox | 2003 | 134 mins | Rated PG-13 | Apr 21, 2009
X2: X-Men United(2003)Action | Adventure | Sci-Fi | Thriller     When a shocking attack by an unknown assailant possessing extraordinary abilities points to the work of a mutant, the political and public outcry for a Mutant Registration Act is renewed. Leading the anti-mutant movement is William Stryker (Brian Cox), a wealthy former Army commander and scientist who is rumored to have experimented on mutants. Stryker's mutant "work" is somehow tied to Wolverine's (Hugh Jackman) mysterious and forgotten past. As Wolverine searches for clues to his origin, Stryker puts into motion his anti-mutant program beginning with a full-scale military offensive on Xavier's (Patrick Stewart) mansion and School for the Gifted. Magneto (Ian McKellen), newly escaped from the plastic prison he was incarcerated in, proposes a partnership with the X-Men to combat their common and formidable enemy, Stryker. For more details about X2: X-Men United on Blu-ray, see the X2: X-Men United Blu-ray Review Starring: Patrick Stewart, Hugh Jackman, Ian McKellen, Halle Berry Director: Bryan Singer X2: X-Men United Blu-ray, Video Quality  X2 comes to Blu-ray with a nicely presented 1080p, 2.40:1-framed transfer. This is a bit better-looking transfer than that found accompanying the previous film on Blu-ray. Details are sharper, the image sports a bit more clarity, colors are improved, and so forth. One of the more noticeable differences is the appearance of flesh tones. Here, they take on a more natural appearance, but still feature a slightly red push. Grain, too is a bit more pronounced over the entirety of the transfer. The transfer also features improved clarity across the board; details are more intricate and offer a broader spectrum of clearly-defined imagery in most every shot. Hairs are finer and flow more naturally, providing visible structure for each strand. Textures, too, are impressive, the rough stone walls of Stryker's underground base of operations or the small bumps that make up a pair of leather gloves in one close-up shot, for example, reveal plenty of visible information. Black levels are rich and inky, though with a slight lack of detail in a few select scenes. Overall, however, X2 looks great on Blu-ray, again far surpassing all previous home video versions. X2: X-Men United Blu-ray, Audio Quality  X2 dazzles on Blu-ray with, yes, another fantastic DTS-HD MA 5.1 lossless soundtrack from Fox. Once again, this mix offers up a pure sonic assault. Sound effects sweep effortlessly around the soundstage, a fine example being Nightcrawler's constant teleportation all around the soundstage in chapter 10, not to mention the echoing voices heard bouncing off the walls of the cavernous chapel that serves as the scene's setting. Music plays nicely across the front throughout the picture, be it subtle dramatic music or heart-pounding action-oriented notes. Environmental ambience is good, too, from the more mundane of chirping insects or barely-audible drips of water falling to the ground in the back speakers to the power of a series of storms used as cover during the film's thrilling aerial chase sequence. Once again, as was the case with the soundtrack accompanying the first X-Men film on Blu-ray, bass rattles the foundation, reverberates through the chest cavity, and generally leaves the subwoofer crying out for mercy. The surround speakers are used to nearly constant effect, too. Dialogue reproduction is also spot-on accurate. X2 certainly delivers, sonically.
