Notes

Story Synopsis:
Nominated for six Academy Awards® (Picture, Director, Screenplay, Editing, Supporting Actor, and Supporting Actress), the runaway hit The Sixth Sense stars Bruce Willis as Dr. Malcolm Crowe, a highly regarded child phychologist who tries to help Cole Sear (Osment), a frightened eight-year-old boy with a very disturbing problem that he refuses to reveal to anyone.

DVD Picture:
Viewed in a completely blackened room, the anamorphically enhanced DVD picture exhibits beautiful quality, with colors that are rich and warm, with balanced fleshtones and deep, pure blacks. Reds are especially vibrant. Images are sharp and detailed into backgrounds, with excellent contrast and shadow delineation. There are some instances of pixelization, but there is no distracting artifacts or edge enhancement for a picture that is quite impressive in all aspects. Though dark, the picture is effective in delivering this eerie story with beautiful quality. The anamorphic and letterbox aspect ratio measures 1.82:1.

Soundtrack:
The Dolby® Digital 5.1-channel audio is a generally satisfying presentation of fine dimension and remarkable fidelity. The utilization of dimension is conservative for this film soundtrack, which is predominantly of a quiescent nature, relying on the creative spatial placement of sound effects and music to set the visceral tone for the scenes. The soundfield tends to be oriented toward the screen channels, but the multidimensional placement of sounds effectively creates a subtle holosonic environment and a wide, expansive soundstage. James Newton Howard’s music score has been superbly recorded and integrated into the sound mix, delivering a suspenseful, often haunting presence that nicely engulfs the listener. The dialogue is also well recorded, but there is also some compromise in the integration with the visuals, due to voices being integrated a bit too prominently. Bass is clean, deep and also appropriately restrained for this film, as is the .1 LFE enhancement. This is a nicely executed film soundtrack that offers exemplary fidelity, but more importantly, an effective molding of music and quiescent sounds into the mix to convey the compelling emotions within the film’s wonderful storytelling.
