Story Synopsis:
Based on the novel by Elmore Leonard, Out Of Sight stars George Clooney as a smooth criminal who lands in prison when he successfully robs a bank but is caught when his car won’t start. His prison escape also goes well, except that it is witnessed by Karen Sisco (Jennifer Lopez), a Federal Marshall. Of course, love blossoms between the two and both must choose between their hearts or their “careers.”
DVD Picture:
While the LaserDisc appears oversaturated in color resolution, the dual layered, anamorphically enhanced DVD, when viewed in component video, exhibits fully saturated colors with better balance. Images are sharp and detailed on both versions, but the LaserDisc is less so. The DVD exhibits minute detail, no doubt due to the increased vertical and horizontal resolution. Both versions inconsistently lack naturalness, and at times appear oversaturated. Contrast and shadow delineation are nicely rendered throughout. There is no distracting noise or artifacts for a generally pleasing visual experience on DVD; mediocre on LaserDisc. The LaserDisc is matted at 1.85:1, as is the anamorphic and letterbox DVD.
Soundtrack:
The Dolby® Digital discrete 5.1 soundtrack on the DVD and LaserDisc is quite similar to the matrix PCM LaserDisc soundtrack. Both sound slightly veiled in fidelity with extensive ADR-dialogue processing. Surround envelopment is aggressive, and the discrete at times distinguishes itself with directional surrounds. The music score sounds mediocre. Bass and .1 LFE enhancement is powerful, but unnatural. Overall, the sound fidelity is wanting with at times veiled spatial delineation for a mediocre sonic experience.
