Warner Bros. releases Neptune’s Daughter onto Blu-ray through their Archive Collection line. The movie, which is presented in the original 1.37 full frame aspect ratio, looks quite good, with the colors shining through with nice vibrancy. Detail here also was quite impressive being sharp throughout and the natural film grain still being retained. The disc comes with a DTS-HD Master Audio 2.0 Mono track which showcases the lively music along with clear dialogue coming from the center channel. And although it’s a singular track, the depth is still well done. |
