Story Synopsis:
Rejoin the cast of extraordinary people trying to live normal lives in Heroes: Season 2. This season Sylar (Quinto) is not the only sinister force stalking the Heroes, there is a new threat to the mutants. H.R.G. (Coleman) prepares to take his family on the run when he realizes The Company is close to discovering their whereabouts. Hiro (Oka) travels to 15th century Japan in a personal quest, where in falls in love with another man's partner. Meanwhile, Suresh (Ramamurthy) must choose between his friendship with H.R.G. and his loyalty to The Company, when he is asked to administer the Shanti virus to his old ally. (Stacey Pendry)
DVD Picture:
The anamorphically enhanced 1.78:1 DVD generally looks harsh, with hard edges and a digitized appearance. Resolution is quite good, though, and black levels are deep and solid. Shadows are delineated well, and colors appear naturally saturated. Fleshtones can be plugged up and too red. And the picture can get distractingly noisy in dark scenes. Compression artifacts are recognizable, and while edge enhancement is used, it is hardly a problem. (Danny Richelieu)
Soundtrack:
