Another reference disc - this time one of my favourites of 2010! Great movie!
Despicable Me (Three-Disc Blu-ray/DVD Combo + Digital Copy) (2010)
(Click on picture to order, hover over for price)
| Quote: | Overall, I was very impressed with this three disc package. 'Despicable Me' is a fun movie that folks of all ages should enjoy. This is a no brainer for a family movie night selection or just a relaxing sit down for that matter. This package features demo video and audio as well as a fairly large amount of extra content. This Blu-ray comes highly recommended for both fans of the movie and anyone who hasn't seen it yet.
The Video: Sizing Up the Picture
'Despicable Me' arrives on Blu-ray with a stunningly beautiful 1080p/AVC MPEG-4 transfer. Simply put, this baby is flawless. Sit back and enjoy it!
Notice the vibrant color palate with colors so bright, they threaten to burst out of your screen, and blacks that appear bottomless. Enjoy every last detail, like the bright blue sky, bight yellows from the sun, each individual blade of green grass, and banana yellow of the minions. Each frame seems to look better than the last. As far as digital artifacts go, there are none, this is probably about as good as an animation film can look on the Blu-ray format.
'Despicable Me' easily ranks right up there with the top transfers of 2010. The animation style may not be as realistic as a film like 'Toy Story 3' but that is perfectly fine since what it lacks in detail it makes up for by featuring some of the brightest colors you will find anywhere. Enjoy this demo disc!
The Audio: Rating the Sound
Equally as impressive as the video quality is the 5.1 DTS-HD Master Audio track. This track will give your home theater system a great workout. All speakers will be engaged throughout, especially during some of the more action packed sequences like Gru's air fight with Vector. You'll be able to hear each missile work its way around your speaker system. The bass effects will also threaten to bring down walls in your house at times.
With all those powerful effects, speech remains perfectly clear throughout. Notice some of the more minor details as well, like the realistic surround effects at the amusement park; at times, it felt like standing in the middle of a crowd. Overall, the audio, like the video presentation, is perfect. |
