However, I was a bit struck when during the plane sequences as they’re under duress, those moments were really weak, even soft those are the scenes where the bass should be kicking on and the room is enveloped with each creak in the fuselage. For the most part, the dialogue levels are pretty good, coming out clearly via the center speaker. The included DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 track is fine if not a bit uneven. There were no major flaws that I noticed and while it’s nothing awe-inspiring, it’s still a fine transfer and comparable with most mid-budget new releases. The picture here mostly looks fine, detail is relatively sharp throughout and colors are well balanced with plenty of blues as the film takes place over the ocean (or green screened that way). Horizon Line takes off onto Blu-ray presented with a 2.39 widescreen aspect ratio and a 1080p high-definition transfer. Outside three Deleted Scenes (5:56), no other features were included. This release comes with a glossy slip cover and inside a redemption code for the Digital HD copy, but only redeemable on AppleTV. This is a film that will easily be forgotten in no time. Horizon Line was directed by Mikael Marcimain, Swedish filmmaker whose work mostly has been on television, marks his third film and first in English language and although I don’t think this was a terrible film, and had two funny and ridiculous scenes that go into good-bad territory for sure, the rest isn’t all that entertaining and worse, engaging. Quick Hit Review: I’m all for dumb fun, hell Swordfish is one of my favorite guilty pleasures, and I generally like the Fast and the Furious franchise, but I do have my limits and at the very least those films had fun, entertaining characters can’t quite say the same for Horizon Line, a film that does have some hilariously ridiculous moments (one scene has Sara lead climbing onto the wing to “refuel” the plane using jet-fuel alcohol) but outside of two scenes, the rest was a bit bland, including the actors, albeit Allison Williams at least is pretty, I just couldn’t care less for the characters’ relationship or the issues they have to confront. With nothing but miles of ocean and sky in every direction, and a terrifying storm that’s about to envelop them, Sara and Jackson have only one shot – and there’s no going back. However, when minutes after takeoff, their pilot (KEITH DAVID) suffers a fatal heart attack, leaving them with no idea where they are and no clue how to land the plane. Plot Synopsis: Former couple Sara (ALLISON WILLIAMS) and Jackson (ALEXANDER DREYMON) board a single-engine plane for a routine and casual flight to their friend’s tropical island wedding. Universal Pictures Home Entertainment provided me with a free copy of the Blu-ray I reviewed in this Blog Post. Writer(s): Josh Campbell & Matthew Stuecken (written by)Ĭast: Allison Williams, Alexander Dreymon, Keith David Horizon Line has I guess an interesting premise that was stretched too thin for a feature, and there’s not much here that I enjoyed outside of a couple laughably ridiculous but not enough to give this a recommendation.
