BLU-RAY
REVIEW: DOLLHOUSE SEASON ONE
07/31/09
OVERVIEW: In a city
of millions, many souls get lost… Twentieth Century Fox Home
Entertainment presents a glimpse into a world where the
wealthy, powerful and connected come to play when
“Dollhouse” Season One becomes “active” on Blu-ray
July 28.
SYNOPSIS: From Joss
Whedon, the creative mastermind behind Buffy the Vampire
Slayer and Angel, comes the provocative Dollhouse, a sexy,
suspenseful thriller starring the stunningly talented Eliza
Dushku. As an “Active,” the mysterious Echo (Dushku) serves
as an unwitting agent of Dollhouse, an illegal underground
organization that provides its elite clientele with
programmable human beings. Actives receive personality
imprints, allowing them to temporarily become anyone or
anything—the perfect burglar, lover, spy, or assassin. Now,
with the FBI and her own shadowy past closing in, Echo must
face a rogue Active who will stop at nothing to bring
Dollhouse down—forever.
BLU-RAY: Dollhouse
Season One is presented in a stunning 1080P widescreen with
a 1.78:1 preserving its television format. The transfer
looks very clean with flawless pictures, giving the film the
clarity that only high definition can provide. 20th Century
Fox Home Entertainment did a phenomenal job in this
transfer. Not only the picture looks excellent in this
release, also the sound it is good, a 5.1 Dolby TrueHD in
English that provides a nice complement to the picture. It
also subtitles in Spanish, French and Portuguese.
The Blu-ray and DVD
includes all 12 original episodes and tons of bonus features
including the never-before-seen standalone episode “Epitaph
One,” the original unaired pilot “Echo,” deleted scenes and
seven making-of featurettes.
Overall the Dollhouse Season
One proof to be the next big thing for Joss Whedon after
Buffy he Vampire Slayer and Angel. The 12 episodes are
explosive and exciting. Just in terms of the concept the
series is very attractive to Sci-Fi fans and Whedon
delivers.
Definitely Dollhouse is one of those series to own.
