UP Blu-ray Review

Look, you see the pores in his old man face!




There aren’t many words needed to describe how gorgeous and pristine this Blu-ray transfer is. Every Pixar offering on the format has been absolutely perfect and Up is no different.
There are countless stunning scenes in the film – from the house first taking flight through the clouds, to the reveal of the otherworldly landscape surrounding Paradise Falls, to the juxtaposition of Carl’s quaint house and Charles Muntz’s massive blimp.
So while the direction for the most part is fairly standard, there are most definitely frames in the film that stand out as truly memorable. Bottom line, it’s a gorgeous film, but you didn’t need to be told that.

Dude, there's a house on your back.




Unsurprisingly, the sound is no less impressive than the image.
Presented in DTS-HD Master Audio, the mix is pitch-perfect, allowing you to hear dialogue effortlessly in even the most action-packed of scenes, while also accentuating Michael Giacchio’s wonderful score. There’s just not one bad thing to be said about Up’s A/V presentation.

This scene is an accurate depiction of a little known war, y'know, called... WORLD WAR II.
