It's funny how the box to Smart People really touts the Blu Ray quality. This isn't really the type of visual feast that usually gets the Blu Ray PR.
On Blu-Ray: Smart People
Set in college campuses or hospital ERs, there's a whole lot of white wall space in the movie. It's a very grainy white, as it's probably the clearest view of the silver particles actually used to comprise film.
Outdoors in the college town have a lot more color, though no real extraordinary vistas. It's just a clear, sharp look at autumn greenery.
The actors look gorgeous. Seeing them in perfect clarity totally does them justice. Dennis Quaid rocks the pretentious college beard.
I'm glad they're making a big deal of this clarity. It is sort of the basic standard for all Blu Rays, and if they can get people excited about it, it may put other non-blockbuster movies in more demand.
