Review The Incredible Story of Winter the Dolphin [Blu-Ray]

Handkerchief in tow?

A film inspired by a true story, it seems to me that just a few days ago some news broadcasts talked about it, I didn't know it was referring to this work. Very good for the family and also for those who are not too selective. You feel good emotions.


In summary: A fisherman notices an injured dolphin on the shore, a little later a very shy boy summoned by the fisherman lends him the first treatment until the arrival of the operators assigned to this kind of rescue. That first approach will become a challenge for both of us.


The video sector it is good / very good. Perhaps the colorimetry in some moments could be a bit too bright but going forward it is very well balanced and natural. Excellent brightness that never betrays, even in the rare night shots. The very sharp foregrounds lurk. Discrete PPND (FirstPlansNitidetailed), PPPN (First Floorplans) discrete, MPP (HalfFirstPlans) discrete. Full-screen viewing to take advantage of every last inch.

Rating: 84

The audio sector it's a Dolby Digital 5.1 with a good mix. The level as usually happens with this encoding is low, started with -20 db I went almost immediately to -17 db. Discreet dynamics. There is a certain consistency of the sound stage. The dialogues are great, very natural. The surround speakers are in the norm without intervening too much, this is also due to the nature of the film which does not have very strong moments. The sub is dozing blissfully.
