Midnight Express (Blu-ray Disc, 2009, With Booklet)

Description: Midnight Express arrives on Blu-ray with a 1080p, 1.85:1-framed transfer. The Blu-ray delivers a solid picture quality that never jumps off the screen with crystal-clear images and vibrant colors, but it is representative of and faithful to its source. A few artifacts are visible here and there, but such anomalies are the exception to the rule. The print is generally blemish-free, and it contains a moderately high amount of film grain that offers to the picture a film-like appearance. Midnight Express is a drab, lifeless movie, reflective of the setting and tone of the drama. Colors are drab and dim, details can appear a bit hazy, and neither sharpness nor depth are all that spectacular. Fine details are often adequately reproduced, primarily in the form of grimy prison walls and rusted iron bars. Flesh tones look fine in context, but blacks occasionally drown out detail or, at other times, look too bright, for instance a sequence in chapter 11. While Midnight Express doesn't look like The International, it does look as intended and this Blu-ray edition offers a fine transfer in context.

Midnight Express Blu-ray, Audio Quality This Blu-ray release of Midnight Express features both lossless Dolby TrueHD 5.1 and lossy Dolby Digital mono soundtracks. The Lossless track improves upon the mono offering by delivering increased clarity and resolution, but the additional channels don't necessarily mean an abundance of extra sonic activity. The lossless track remains centered straight up the middle with little information sent to the adjoining speakers. Ambient sound effects, for example the hustle and bustle of the Turkish airport at the beginning of the film, features all of the environmental effects up front and playing mostly through the center speaker. Music often plays with little in the way of volume at reference levels, a chase scene in chapter 3 playing as a rather cut-and-dry experience that delivers the sound but doesn't do all that much with it. Dialogue is reproduced efficiently throughout. Like the picture quality, Midnight Express' lossless soundtrack impresses in context. It doesn't create a phony atmosphere or otherwise add to the original track. It's mostly a clearer, more precise rendition of the mono track, just the way it should be.
