Blu-ray DVD Movies Disc - Watchmen
Product Description
Warner Bros. | 2009 | 186 min | Rated R | Jul 21, 2009
Region Free
In an alternate reality, it's 1985, costumed superheroes are part of the fabric
of everyday society, and the "Doomsday Clock" - which charts the USA's tension
with the Soviet Union - is permanently set at five minutes to midnight. When one
of his former colleagues is murdered, the washed-up but no less determined
masked vigilante Rorschach sets out to uncover a plot to kill and discredit all
past and present superheroes. As he reconnects with his former crime- fighting
legion - a ragtag group of retired superheroes, only one of whom has true powers
- Rorschach glimpses a wide-ranging and disturbing conspiracy with links to
their shared past and catastrophic consequences for the future. Their mission is
to watch over humanity...but who is watching The Watchmen?
I know more than a few people who were blown away by
The Dark Knight's
arrival on Blu-ray, but I was one of those sad saps who couldn't get past its
alternating aspect ratios, its overheated contrast, and the rampant edge
enhancement on display. As such, I approached
Watchmen with a bit of
hesitation, worried Warner's 1080p/VC-1 transfer would suffer a similar fate.
I'm pleased to report that isn't the case. Not only does
Watchmen retain
all the brooding grittiness Snyder intended, it boasts a filmic presentation
complete with unobtrusive grain, clean object definition, revealing textures,
and striking skintones. That's not to say the film's absorbing gloom and
bottomless blacks have been tempered -- just as Gibbons used heavy inks in 1986,
Snyder uses similarly stark shadows in 2009 to bathe his rendition of Moore's
city in darkness -- but, in my humble estimation, the somber elements of the
picture never appear overcooked or artificial. Witness the pores dotting
Rorschach's unmasked face, the flecks of blood splashed across the Comedian's
stubbly chin, the remnants of a devastated metropolis, the bits of rubble
raining down from Jon's emerging fortress, the controls in Dan's ship, the... I
could go on and on, but I'll save you three paragraphs.
If I have any
complaint it's that the image isn't quite perfect. While artifacting, aliasing,
and unintended noise are nowhere to be found, the blue glow of Doctor
Manhattan's skin is the source of some faint banding and other minor digital
anomalies. Likewise, while it's kept to a bare minimum, slight (almost
negligible) ringing appears on occasion. Regardless, the encoders at Warner have
outdone themselves with
Watchmen, creating a high definition transfer
worthy of legitimate praise. I'm sure some viewers will inevitably gripe about
Snyder's aesthetic choices but, as far as technical presentations go, this one
is stunning.
Warner makes its long-rumored leap to DTS-HD Master Lossless Audio with
Watchmen, and what a leap it is. While a Dolby TrueHD track would have
delivered an equally impressive sonic payload, the DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1
surround track included on this release is a marvelous, memorable endeavor that
captures all the power and fury of Snyder's ode to dark superheroics. Dialogue
is crisp, clean, and impeccably prioritized in the mix, imbuing Dan and Laurie's
hushed conversations with the same care afforded to their less-than-subtle
prison break. LFE output is refined as well, adding heft and presence to every
potent punch, gut-churning teleportation, and deafening explosion. Rear speaker
aggression rounds out the lossless trifecta with enough ambient effects, musical
score support, and atmospheric acoustics to satisfy the needs of a dozen
separate audio tracks. Not only are pans as smooth as they come, directionality
(while intentionally skewed at times) is precise and the resultant soundfield is
eerily enveloping. Even key cues from the soundtrack resonate: Leonard Cohen's
baritone lulls in "Hallelujah" are deep and satisfying, Bob Dylan's nasally
whine is sharp and stable in "The Times They are A-Changing," and Simon and
Garfunkel's "Sound of Silence" has never sounded better.
Despite its
comicbook roots,
Watchmen is as much an aural experience as it is a
visual one. To that end, Warner's faithful DTS-HD Master Audio track fulfills
Snyder's every demand and the film's every need. Fans will be bouncing in their
seats at the sheer sonic majesty of this one.
