VIDEO \u2013 4.0\/5<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

From the Terrace<\/em><\/strong> arrives on Blu-ray courtesy of Twilight Time presented in its original 2.35 widescreen aspect ratio and featuring a well done 1080p high-definition transfer. The picture actually is rather impressive showcasing good colors throughout; darker scenes don\u2019t show major instances of artifacting or aliasing. This appears to be a fairly clean transfer with only minor amounts of dust marks that never interfere with one\u2019s viewing experience.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

AUDIO \u2013 4.0\/5<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

The 2.0 DTS-HD Master Audio track also makes it well enough. The dialogue levels come through the front channels with clarity and any other elements, albeit limited with some ambient noises, sound good. I didn\u2019t notice any hissing or other ailments to the lossless track.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

OVERALL \u2013 2.5\/5<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Overall, From the Terrace<\/em><\/strong> is an amiable enough drama but it is long, or felt it at times, but the performances for the most part were good including, unsurprisingly, the venerable Paul Newman in the lead. I\u2019m not sure if this is one I\u2019ll revisit any time soon and from my reading, wasn\u2019t a great adaptation of a popular novel, but I\u2019d say it\u2019s worth checking it out at least once. The Blu-ray release has good video and audio but skimps out in the features arena.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
