Product Description

Summit Entertainment | 2009 | 131 mins | Rated PG-13

The relationship between mortal Bella and vampire Edward is continuing to blossom and grow even though ancient secrets are in line to destroy them. When Edward leaves in order to keep the love of his life Bella safe; she takes it upon herself to test her life in many reckless ways. Things don't go as she planned though when her good friend Jacob ends up saving her which opens her eyes and mind to many more secrets that could threaten all their existence.

New Moon rises on Blu-ray with a good-looking 1080p, 2.40:1-framed transfer. The first thing that fans are bound to notice is the drastic shift in visual tone between this and Twilight; gone is that picture's heavy blue tint, replaced here by something of a more neutral and natural look that's a touch dark and perhaps with a slight golden hue about it. As with the previous Twilight picture, flesh tones waver from character to character; Edward appears as a ghastly pale shade, Jacob features a decidedly orange tint, and Bella is usually seen with a more neutral tone, all of which are deliberate in presentation and not any fault of the transfer process. However, skin sometimes looks a bit overly smooth, and background details, too, sometimes appear as smudgy and smeared. Generally, however, fine detail in foreground shots impresses. The film exhibits wonderfully natural detailing and texturing on plenty of objects, including clothing; scrapes, dents, and dirt on vehicles; and building fa鏰des. Still, the image often cannot escape from what is a generally flat appearance, though again this seems more in-line with the intended look of the picture. Also sporting beautifully deep and inky blacks and retaining a fine layer of grain, New Moon isn't the prettiest image out there, but it delivers a capable 1080p experience that should satisfy both and fans and videophiles alike.

New Moon bursts onto Blu-ray with a supercharged DTS-HD MA 5.1 lossless soundtrack. Although the track is defined by several loud, aggressive, and satisfying action sequences, it's comprised of plenty of subtle atmospherics that make this a truly complete listen. The many exterior shorts in the film's idyllic woodland settings come alive with the sounds of nature in every scene; a cacophony of chirping birds, rustling leaves, or blowing breezes positively immerse the listener in every environment. Additionally, the film's musical presentation is beautifully rendered; the score pours into the soundstage with a positive front-channel presentation and a noticeable but not overwhelming rear-channel support structure. The aforementioned action pieces, however, truly stand apart from the rest of the mix. Creature-on-creature combat sound effects spill into the listening area from all directions and traverse the soundstage with pinpoint precision, all accompanied by what is nothing short of a prodigious low-end that rattles the floorboards and reverberates through the chest cavity. The picture's action scenes translate into some of the most impressive listens available on the Blu-ray format; it's a shame that there aren't more of them to enjoy. Rounded out by perfectly-balanced and consistently stable and clear dialogue reproduction, Summit Entertainment has yielded yet another in what is a growing line of top-notch DTS-HD MA lossless soundtracks for their growing library of Blu-ray releases.
