PLOT SYNOPSIS
\n<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n
\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Billie Frank (MARIAH CAREY) is a talented young singer struggling to make it big in New York City. With plenty of will and determination, a voice like an angel, and the help of a handsome nightclub DJ, she will quickly learn that the roller coaster ride to success is a treacherous as it is glamorous.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

No features were included, in fact there\u2019s not even a chapter selection.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

VIDEO \u2013 3.5\/5<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n
\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Glitter<\/em><\/strong> arrives on Blu-ray presented in its original 2.35 widescreen aspect ratio and given a favorable enough 1080p high-definition transfer. The picture isn\u2019t anything special but detail was sharp and colors appear to be bright and natural looking.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

\n

AUDIO \u2013 3.0\/5<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n
\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Unfortunately, but not surprising, we only get a Dolby Digital 5.1 track which sounds fine yet for a movie that is music-centric, this would\u2019ve benefited from a lossless high-definition track. As it is, it\u2019s adequate but lacks depth even in bass-heavy club sequences.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

OVERALL \u2013 1.0\/5<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n
\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

Overall, I guess its apt timing for this to come out after the New Year\u2019s Eve quasi meltdown, but 2001\u2019s Glitter<\/em><\/strong> was as bad as it was 15 years ago; the acting is at best spotty and the story clich\u00e9d. This bargain priced Blu-ray from Mill Creek is the epitome of getting what you paid for with no features, lossy audio and decent but not great video.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
