Story Synopsis:
Danny Ocean (Clooney) and the boys are back to their double-crossing ways in Ocean’s Thirteen. This time the flimflam artists are set to hit the newest casino in Vegas, The Bank. If their heist goes without a glitch, the Ocean’s gang will walk away with a fat payday and the owner of The Bank, Vegas Kingpin Will Bank (Pacino) will be denied the coveted Five Diamond rating he desires of his property. Based upon characters created by George Clayton Johnson and Jack Golden Russell. (Stacey Pendry)
DVD Picture:
The anamorphically enhanced 2.36:1 DVD exhibits well-saturated colors but is littered with noise, which can be very distracting. Fleshtones have a dated appearance, looking pasty and orange. Black levels are slightly washed out, and contrast is rather hot. Resolution is decent, but fine details in the imagery aren’t visible. Pixel breakup is noticeable frequently, and compression artifacts are a big distraction. Edge enhancement is also noticeable throughout. This really is a disappointing picture. (Danny Richelieu)
Soundtrack:
The Dolby® Digital 5.1-channel soundtrack features good fidelity, but the mix is rather lacking of surround envelopment. Even when the channels are used, they are at such low levels they barely even register on our Dorrough signal meter (about 25 dB below reference level). Imaging across the front stage is mixed in well, but the entire mix is rather dimensionless. Dialogue generally sounds natural. Deep bass is generally limited in the soundtrack, but the LFE channel is incorporated well when needed. (Danny Richelieu)
