Story Synopsis:
With stories revolving around several different characters, it’s Christmas-time in London, and something is in the air. It’s the same affliction for widower Daniel (Neeson), the Prime Minister (Grant), and his sister Karen (Thompson), who all seem to have caught whatever it is. What could it possibly be? Why, it’s Love Actually, and it’s here to stay. (Tricia Littrell)
DVD Picture:
The anamorphically enhanced 2.35:1 DVD picture is bright and colorful and perfectly complementary to the on-screen romance and humor. Hues are rich and nicely saturated, with accurate fleshtones and deep blacks. Images are sharp and nicely detailed, with excellent contrast and shadow delineation. There are some minor instances in which edge enhancement can be noticed, but pixelization is limited. Overall, the picture is quite solid and will surely satisfy. (Suzanne Hodges)
Soundtrack:
If love could ever be quantified and presented as something that could take some sort of physical form, then this Dolby® Digital 5.1-channel soundtrack could very well be a qualifier for that honor. There is a really lovely, sweet, and utterly charming quality to this soundtrack, especially in the original score by Craig Armstrong and Matt Dunkley, that really pleases and quite honestly represents what love could actually sound like. Besides the musical score, the precise sonic reproduction of the actor’s very unique vocal patterns and inflections are dead-on accurate. Although a majority of audio information is spread across the front three screen channels, the LFE and surround channels work wonderfully together with these three channels to provide a very immersive and quite effective surround sound envelope that wraps itself tenderly around the listener. There is also a wonderful balance between music and dialogue, where one never steals the spotlight from the other but shares screen time in perfect harmony. Overall, this is a really fantastic and thoroughly enjoyable soundtrack. (Jeffrey Kern)
