Usually the sub-plot and main storyline will converge by the end of the movie, or simply compliment the story. In this film, I really can't see how either come together. Still, given all the problems I have with Random Hearts , Harrison Ford still delivers a excellent performance, really showing why this guy is still a top box office draw. The print is clean, but riddled with an inconsistent black-level. The occasional compression artifact shows up on some of the low light scenes.
Colors tend to look muted in certain scenes and very vibrant in select others.
This could have been a style decision, but with the problems in black level, I'm doubting that. This is not normal for Columbia TriStar, as they generally deliver some of the best quality video on DVD that the technology can offer. It all goes to show that even the best of DVD production studios can have a bad day. The disc is encoded in 5.0 Dolby Digital, leaving no dedicated LFE channel. This is not a problem, as the movie has very little high-intensity audio, showcasing mostly dialog and musical score.
