Notes
Story Synopsis:
Winner of three Academy Awards®, including Best Original Screenplay for Ben Affleck and Matt Damon, Good Will Hunting is the tale of a misunderstood genius named Will Hunting (Damon). Thwarted by personal anger, Will’s hope lies with Sean McQuire (Best Supporting Actor Oscar®-winner, Robin Williams), a patient and understanding college therapist.
DVD Picture:
The non-anamorphic 1.82:1 DVD, when compared to the LaserDisc reviewed in Issue 24, exhibits similar qualities, except the DVD is slightly sharper by comparison. Shadow delineation and contrast are still mediocre and lacking definition in the darker scenes. Though the DVD betters the LaserDisc slightly, it appears to have been mastered from a composite source, due to apparent aliasing problems and inter-field jitter.
Soundtrack:
The Dolby® Digital 5.1 discrete soundtrack does not sound dramatically different than the previously reviewed LaserDisc, but dialogue has been mixed into the left and right channels and lacks spatial integration. Bass has been put in the .1 LFE channel, though the result is not effective. When effects are present in the discrete version, the surround signal is limited to mono. With this classic, sticking to the original matrix PCM is a more satisfying experience.
