Fantastic Four review (High-Def Digest)

Fantastic Four

"The source material is in excellent shape, with not a visible speck of dirt or the like. Blacks are perfect throughout, and contrast consistent across the entire grayscale. The image is also not overly harsh; contrast is a bit hot at times, but nothing unusual in today's world of computer-enhanced blockbusters. Detail is also strong, with a nice sense of depth even to long shots. The image is rarely flat or two-dimensional, so all in all, this is a nice one for Blu-ray."

"So until we can have a real look at the lossless track on 'Fantastic Four,' the downgraded version does very nicely on its own. The film has quite lively sound design, with the kind of whiz-bang fun you'd expect from a big-budget comic book flick. Dynamics are excellent, with very natural and rich frequency response across the entire sonic spectrum. The .1 LFE really delivers some powerful deep bass frequencies, and I was impressed how the low end extends beyond just loud sound effects to the score and even the Thing's more intense growls. Surround use is active and engaging, with the bridge attack and Doctor Doom battle sequences particularly effective."
