Notes

Story Synopsis:
Based upon Capcom’s videogame, "Resident Evil" takes place beneath the industrial mecca known as Raccoon City. Unknown to its millions of residents, a huge underground bioengineering facility known as The Hive has accidentally unleashed the deadly and mutating T-virus, killing all of its employees. To contain the leak, the governing supercomputer Red Queen has sealed all entrances and exits. A team of highly trained super commandos, including Rain (Rodriguez), Alice (Jovovich), and Matt (Mabius) are on a race to penetrate The Hive, in order to isolate the T-virus before it overwhelms humanity. In order to accomplish their mission, they must get past the Red Queen’s deadly defenses, face the flesh-eating undead employees, fight killer mutant dogs, and battle a genetically mutated savage beast whose strength increases with each of its slain victims.

DVD Picture:
The anamorphically enhanced 1.85:1 Superbit DVD exhibits subtle improvements over the nicely rendered previously released DVD. Images can be sharp and finely detailed, though sometimes seeming softly focused. The Umbrella Corporation digital graphics have finer edges than the non-Superbit title. Colors are rich and nicely balanced, with accurate fleshtones and deep blacks. Contrast is nicely rendered and, with much of the picture taking place in dimly lit settings, shadow delineation is suitable for the storytelling. There is some edge enhancement noticed, and pixelization is occasionally detected. (Suzanne Hodges)

Soundtrack:
The DVD features the the same Dolby® Digital soundtrack used for the previous release. The DTS® Digital Surround™ audio version, new for this Superbit release, exhibits a little more refinement when it comes to spatial rendering and low-end impact. There’s also a slightly warmer presence in the midrange. The creativity for this soundtrack production includes interesting sound effects crafting, sweeping pans, and engulfing surround activity. The soundfield imparts a compelling sense of width and depth, resulting in a very convincing perception of being immersed in a holosonic™ listening space. Stereo separation in the surrounds is very effective throughout, and the use of back surround decoding and a height loudspeaker should further enhance the sense of spherical surround™. Overall recording quality is excellent, and voices sound impressively natural and well-placed with the visuals. If you have an all-around full-range loudspeaker system, you’ll certainly benefit from the low-end attributes of this soundtrack. Deep bass is clean and articulate in nature, with instances that are intense, and will definitely extend to below 25 Hz in both the front and surround channels, as well as in the active, prominent .1 LFE channel. This audio presentation is certainly one of the best of the recent 5.1 soundtracks reviewed. (Perry Sun)
