Notes

It hasn't taken studios very long to get this Blu-ray 3D thing down pat. Warner Brothers full HD 3D Blu-ray release of The Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole is a stunner, ranking right up there with the finest transfers amongst the growing but still limited number of such titles on the market. This transfer excels with every shot; the digital creatures and environments are so finely detailed that it's sometimes difficult to remember that this is CGI. The line between real and digital is definitely blurring with every release, but The Legend of the Guardians takes it a step further with practically photorealistic fur that's so finely detailed on the Blu-ray that viewers can literally pause the movie and count feathers and fur. Such striking detail is evident elsewhere, too, whether in the richly-realized environments or on the scuffs and engraving work on Metalbeak's helmet. Colors are excellent, too; though the film has a decidedly dark tone to it that's offset by many splashes of gold, orange, and yellow, the varied brown and orange shades that color many of the owls are impressively seamless, while the appearance of brighter shades -- notably white -- are handled equally well. On that note, black levels excel in every shot; these might be the richest blacks of any 3D release yet, showing absolutely no sign of crush. This is an amazing transfer, made all the better by the disc's highly impressive 3D elements
As a native 3D film, expectations are high coming in, and The Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole doesn't disappoint. The picture dazzles right out of the gate as viewers are flown around the sky and past various titles that hover in space, each one perfectly realized in three dimensions and the viewer feeling like he or she is zipping around the clouds and through the lettering. Depth is fantastic throughout; this is another Blu-ray 3D image that's more concerned with realism than it is eye-catching visual trickery, though a few elements do seem to stick out of the screen and feel like a part of the movie rather than a visual trick, most coming during battle scenes as various sharp weapons seem to protrude from the television. Trees and owls both enjoy real, perceptible shape and volume; whether ground-up shots of a massive tree that give viewers the sense that the trunks are pushing their way out the back of the television or the spacing between owls as they glide through a twilight sky, Warner's Blu-ray 3D transfer places viewers in the middle of every environment be it up in the sky or in the darkest recesses of St. Aegolius. Only some slight-to-occasionally-moderate instances of "ghosting" and a few barely-perceptible instances of banding -- visible primarily as Soren and Gylfie escape from the Pure Ones -- keep this from scoring a perfect rating. The only other issue? The Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole begs to be watched on the largest display possible. Even at 50", the 3D HDTV monitor used for playback seemed a bit cramped.
