The Cell |

The
Cell is a very serious film, it points the finger at the thought of what
goes on inside a criminal mind. While the plot might not have this direct
aim, we see Jenifer Lopez drop into a nice minded character, one who spends
her time trying to help a mentally disabled child, is put in the driving
seat of trying to find information from a murder on who his latest victim
is. The plot is somewhat slow to develop, most of the time is used to
be aquatinted with the characters and the environment the mind
 can
image.We first see some action when the demented killer stalks his pray, slowly easing his way into a capture, later he will prison them in a timer filmed by four cameras for his enjoyment later. This timer has already sent several women to their death, afterwhich the killer dresses them up as dolls later discarding them for a new one. The team of detectives and help from Kathryn (JL) they must retrieve the information concealed in the killer, but to make it even harder they found the man unconscious in his kitchen after a a bad attack. However going into this bizarre mind unleashes all the would be reasons for his obsession with dolls, and the mind isn't exactly a paradise, its crowded with evil spawned by a horrific upbringing. The plot is very original and lets a little too much to the level of information given. This new theme for the movie allows the creative side to pull forward, with complex colours environments and characters the mind seems a very interesting place to see. Video Quality  Video
quality for the cell is impeccable, the colour and contrast are spot on,
this mixed with the various lighting effects make the movie a dark yet
colourful experience. The effect of using light to emboss colours and
give the rooms a lot of atmosphere and feel make the movie all very tangible.
Detail of the production is very good too, you can't see any pop marks
or scars from transport, it is all very solid and looks great.
Audio Quality Dynamic range
is very full, from the quite silent almost vocal parts to the explosive
action sequences, and exotic music play. The surround mix of Dolby
Digital 5.1 is used to full effect, there is a good spacing of surround
sound and the atmosphere is created using echoes and space like sounds.
Once again this is a brilliant aspect of the movie.
Extras The extras a
limited, the commentary and 57 minutes of extras make for a decent
value level. The interactivities are well made and designed, the trailer
is the usual one. Still there could be more added.
