Blu-ray DVD Movies Disc - xXx State of the Union
Product Description
Sony Pictures | 2005 | 101 min | Rated PG-13 | Aug 12, 2008
Region Free
The winds of political change are rumbling through the halls of the Capitol as a
popular President is being targeted for assassination by a radical splinter
group of dissenters deep within the United States government. Only two people
stand between anarchy and freedom: One of them, Augustus Gibbons (Samuel L.
Jackson), has just survived a hit on the National Security Agency's top-secret
headquarters and is on the run. The other, a decorated Special Ops soldier,
Darius Stone (Ice Cube), sits under close guard in a military prison. Gibbons
once again finds himself in need of an outsider and Stone is his man. The new
xXx agent must uncover the insurgents from within. It is the nation's only hope
to stop the first coup d'閠at in American history.
Sony delivers
xXx: State of the Union to Blu-ray with an impressive
1080p, 2.35:1 transfer. Seeing as how the first
xXx featured one of the
worst transfers I have seen yet on Blu-ray, I was a bit apprehensive going into
this one. However, knowing that Sony is now one of the best studios supporting
Blu-ray and offering excellent picture quality on almost all their releases, I
predicted a better-than-average picture quality for this film, and I was right.
While not quite as demonstration worthy as
Transformers
or
Saawariya
(also from Sony), this transfer is nice and clear, one that is well above
average for a Blu-ray release, even by today's standards. Colors are excellent,
clarity is wonderful, edges are sharp and crisp, and detail is wonderful. There
is some grain over the image, but those who dislike grain won't find it in
abundance. There are also some small speckles on the print, but like the grain,
they are not distracting.
xXx: State of the Union features a bright,
clean look throughout. Whether we are in the lush green fields of the farm above
the underground bunker or in the cold, steely interior of the underground
facility itself, the transfer never fails to reveal the finer nuances of every
location. Flesh tones are a bit warm and rosy and contrast in general is pumped
up in the movie. Facial detail is excellent, as it is in foreground objects.
There is never a "reach out and touch it" feel to the transfer, but depth is
still solid and the transfer looks good in every lighting condition thrown at
it, from bright, sun-drenched exteriors to the dimly lit, smoke-filled interiors
of the Capital building during the film's climax. Black levels are good
throughout and colors are always rich and vibrant. While not a top-tier
transfer, this one is leaps and bounds better than its predecessor, and is a
good title to show what an extremely well-done, but not quite perfect, Blu-ray
looks like.
xXx: State of the Union features a foundation-shaking soundtrack that is
as lively and entertaining as the best tracks to date. The beginning of the
movie features a fun action sequence that sounds great. The charges that blast
holes into the underground base thump and pound with precision and power.
Likewise, gunshots are some of the truest and most lifelike I've heard yet, and
we can even hear spent shell casings clanking on the floor as they fly from the
gun's ejection ports. The "flyboy" (the name given in the commentary track, the
device is said to be ten generations head of what's available today) whizzes
through your listening room from one speaker to the next, and the general mayhem
of the scene fills each speaker with sonic bliss. This is one loud,
rambunctious, and immersive sequence, one that sets the stage nicely for what's
to come. The prison escape sequence is an all-encompassing listen with deep bass
and continuous surround presence that makes for an extremely entertaining
segment. Likewise, in chapter three, when xXx goes to the chop shop, the hip-hop
music has a quality to it that sounds like you're in a dance club where deep
lows rattle the windows and pulsate your eardrums. Listen to the gunshots in
chapter four as xXx escapes on a boat and fires his weapon to ignite the fuel
lines he's ruptured on the other boats. The gunshot itself shook my sofa, and
the subsequent explosion practically ripped the room in two. Fans of the musical
group Bond will want to hear their performance in chapter seven. The lively,
entertaining music isn't as room-filling as the score, the hip-hop music
described above, or the action pieces, but it makes for a winning segment in the
movie. The tank battle aboard the carrier in chapter ten is more something you
experience rather than listen to. All the superlatives that describe
ear-shattering sound applies here, particularly during the scene's climax.
xXx: State of the Union is one crazy listen, as active as any track
you've heard, and as ridiculous and entertaining as the movie itself.
