Sheena(1984)Sheena's white parents are killed while on Safari. She is raised by the mystical witch woman of an African tribe. When her foster mother is framed for the murder of a political leader, Sheena and a newsman, Vic Casey are forced to flee while pursued by the mercenaries hired by the real killer, who hopes to assume power. Sheena's ability to talk to the animals and knowledge of jungle lore give them a chance against the high tech weapons of the mercenaries. For more about Sheena and the Sheena Blu-ray release, see Sheena Blu-ray Review published by Martin Liebman on April 14, 2019 where this Blu-ray release scored 1.5 out of 5. Director: John Guillermin Writers: Lorenzo Semple, Jr., David Newman, Leslie Stevens, Will Eisner Starring: Tanya Roberts, Ted Wass, Donovan Scott, Clifton Jones, John Forgeham, Errol John Producers: Paul Aratow, Yoram Ben-Ami, Christian Ferry » See full cast & crew Sheena Blu-ray, Video QualitySheena's 1080p Blu-ray presentation is not what one would call "ideal." The presentation struggles in all areas of concern. Problems arise right off the bat when large fires are lit in early scenes during a ceremony in which an ill man is brought back to health in the "healing earth." Significant visible macroblocking comes to define the scene, even more so than poor black levels and print speckles galore. The scene, and much of the entire image, appears on the verge of digital collapse. Compression artifacts abound, and just as bad, severe digital processing smooths out textures, erases grain, and leaves the picture appearing smudgy and artificial. It's a digitally processed disaster, for the most part, with the odd shot appearing more stable but never fully, or even approaching, filmic-natural. Details are extremely poor, whether considering skin textures which barely reveal common features with any depth or clarity. Clothes and environments, including manmade and natural locations alike, also succumb to shoddy detailing. Structures are smooth and grasses and trees are smudgy and indistinct. Colors are probably the transfer's best asset. Essentials, like natural greens or Sheena's blonde hair, present with a semi-realistic tone, but the palette is generally flat and without much life to it. Black levels range from pale to crushed and skin tones are pasty. What a mess. Sheena Blu-ray, Audio QualityUnfortunately, the included DTS-HD Master Audio 2.0 lossless soundtrack is also of poor quality. A cave-in early in the film barely presents with even a basic sonic signature. There's a slight feel for the core sounds of collapsing rock, but there's no depth and no detail. The effects sound sharp and unkempt, and the track's general unreliability, especially beyond music and dialogue, remains throughout. Roaring beasts, blasting gunshots, wailing sirens, and all variety of would-be prominent effects fizzle. And that's not to say music is majestic. It's adequate, presenting with unremarkable clarity and not much wide front end spacing. It's also not very prominent at reference listening level. Dialogue does image to the center and basic clarity and prioritization are fine.
