UHD often magnifies film grain in time-honored classics to a distracting degree, but not so here. The image consistently appears natural and remains forever true to Harold Rosson's breathtaking, Oscar-nominated Technicolor cinematography. Never fear, cinephiles, grain is most certainly present, more so in the sepia-toned Kansas scenes than in Technicolor Oz, but it's such an organic element of the frame and so beautifully resolved, we almost don't notice it. Like that spice you just can't identify in a gourmet dish that's essential to its success, the grain supplies necessary texture to the Kansas scenes to emphasize the dusty, drab atmosphere. On the flip side, it adds richness and luster to the three-strip Technicolor, tempering the garish hues and helping all the myriad colors to peacefully coexist.
Everything we do watch it for, however, is meticulously and powerfully presented in this transfer. Somehow it boosts resolution to astounding degrees and yet still looks like film. For any movie of any era that's a feat, but for one from 1939, it's almost a miracle. Could the virtual reality edition of The Wizard of Oz be next? If it's anything like this, I say bring it on!

A wide dynamic scale, excellent fidelity, and pleasing tonal depth enhance the impact of Herbert Stothart's Oscar-winning music score, and all the vocals sound full-bodied and resonant. Garland's rendition of "Over the Rainbow" is one of cinema's most iconic moments, and never has it exuded more richness, warmth, and purity of tone than it does here. All the dialogue and song lyrics are crystal clear, so even if you don't know the movie by heart like I do, you'll easily understand every line. Any age-related surface noise has been carefully scrubbed away, and no distortion, even during the most active sequences, creeps into the mix.
This film tells the entertaining story of a group of young divers who go looking for a legendary treasure ship in the Bahamas. While diving, they stumble upon an airplane wreck full of illegal drugs, leading to an underground storyline of mobs and underwater action. The movie has an abundance of shark footage, most of which was filmed using live, wild sharks in their natural habitat. The movie also stars Jessica Alba and Paul Walker, and the exotic scenery will take you off your couch and into your next dive trip! 2ff7e9595c
