DVD Reviews of The Perfect Storm [HD DVD]
DVD Review: Great Move *But* HD-DVD version NOT in HD
Summary: 4 Stars
Most About the Perfect Storm has already be written here so I will limit my review to the HD-DVD mastering issue.
I own both the HD-DVD and regular Widescreen DVD version of this film.
I was surprised to discover the HD-DVD film transfer to video was NOT 1080p but rather a poor quality up-convert to 1080p from what was clearly a standard 480p master. You can see annoying blocking edges around all sharp lines as if the 480p video was bumped to 1080p with little or no interpolation.
Ironically the regular Widescreen DVD looks way better, as my player has built-in up-converting interpolation that cleans up most 480p to 1080p edge artifacts.
If you are looking to see this film in true HD, don't buy the HD-DVD.
I have yet to try the Blu-Ray to see if it's in true 1080p. Any feedback on the Blu-Ray this would be appreciated.
Description of The Perfect Storm [HD DVD]
Warner Brothers The Perfect Storm - HD DVDIt's Halloween, 1991. Near Gloucester, Massachusetts, the six members of the Andrea Gail, a swordfishing boat, head out to sea for their last trip of the season. Unbeknownst to them, a shockingly brutal storm is slowly gaining steam. Before the National Weather Bureau has a chance to inform the crew of the impending danger, it's too late. The resulting battle with three merging weather fronts--an unheralded natural disaster--is grueling and tragic. Based on the true-life best selling novel by Sebastian Junger, The Perfect Storm stars George Clooney, Mark Wahlberg,Diane Lane and is directed by Wolfgang Petersen.
