Notes

Story Synopsis:
“Hearts In Atlantis” is another startling and poignant film based on a novel by Stephen King. Robert Garfield (Morse) revisits his past, going back to the summer of 1960. While young and more-or-less ignored by his widowed mother, Bobby (Yelchin) befriends Ted Brautigan (Hopkins), who rents a room in his mother’s boarding house. Bobby begins to look up to the aging man as a father figure, who reveals to the boy that he has psychiatric gifts that have caught the attentions of “low men” who wish to harness his powers. (Suzanne Hodges)


DVD Picture:
The anamorphically enhanced 2.35:1 DVD exhibits a lovely picture, with a color scheme that is warm and adds to the nostalgic setting of the movie. Fleshtones appear well balanced and blacks are deep and solid. Images are sharp and nicely detailed, with good contrast and shadow delineation. Pixelization is infrequently noticed and edge enhancement, in general, is not bothersome. (Suzanne Hodges)


Soundtrack:
The Dolby® Digital 5.1-channel soundtrack is usually of a rather quiescent nature, yet has been very nicely recorded, and when appropriate, delivers with usually subtle yet substantially effective surround sound. The sense of dimensionality, especially with the music, is remarkably holosonic in nature, sounding both expansive and immersive. The dialogue sounds impressively natural and fairly well-integrated with the visuals. The very well-recorded music has a rich, enveloping characteristic, with a satisfying low-end presence. (Perry Sun)
