Shadow detail is extremely good and throughout the film you will notice, just how much detail is retained in the transfer as the imagery is strikingly rich in definition and information. The transfer features bold blacks that are solid and never break up. The colors of the transfer a vibrant, nicely capturing the turquoise colors of the tropical island, as well as the paler shades during the interior scenes. The print that was used for this DVD is absolutely clean without the slightest speckles, mars of defects, creating an image that is absolutely stable and clean.

It is fascinating to see how he copes with it, and how faint boyhood memories help him survive in a wilderness he was never prepared for. Time is simply flying by as we watch in fascination how a person that is so utterly depending on a regulated schedule is thrown into a world where none of his values matter. Running 140 minutes, you will never have the feeling the film is slow or dragging.

When he begins to realize that he is alone on the island and that he won’t be leaving anytime soon, he begins settling in, getting himself shelter and exploring sources of food. On trip to the other end of the world on day, Chuck’s plane crashes in the middle of the ocean and as the sole survivor, he strands on a remote island with nothing but a torn inflatable boat and a number of flotsam FedEx packages. A person that is living by the clock and drives on schedules, Chuck has little time for his private life in-between, but he loves his girlfriend Kelly Frears (Helen Hunt) all the more.
