Big Fish Blu-ray, Video Quality

  4.0 of 5

Much like its multiple storylines, Big Fish is also all over the place regarding video quality. Presented in Mepg-2 encoded 1080p, the image from Big Fish is often-times startlingly wonderful, but frequently inconsistent. It appears that several different film stocks have been used and shots seem to switch between them at a seemingly random rate. My best guess would be that this look is absolutely intentional, but unfortunately I can't quite recall how the film looked theatrically from 2003. What I can say, is that there is a lot of beautifully rendered grain in Big Fish and at no time was I distracted by artificial picture artifacts caused by a poor encode. I think the look of Big Fish will come down to taste for a lot of people. I, personally, love the way the film looks… many might feel otherwise. At any rate, if you are looking for a glossy piece of digitally smoothed out celluloid, Big Fish probably isn't for you.


Big Fish Blu-ray, Audio Quality

  5.0 of 5

Big Fish certainly isn't inconsistent from the audio standpoint! From the first flashback sequence, I was absolutely immersed into the world that this amazing piece of sound design has created. Much of the film is presented as fantasy and the soundtrack perfectly helps convey the fantastical sights we are seeing on screen. Bass is wonderfully reproduced with some outstanding subwoofer effects. Surround usage is very active and dialog is always crisp and intelligible. Sony once again serves up a reference soundtrack with the use of PCM audio. Perfection!
