Vibes Blu-ray Review

Retro VHS Collection

Score: 43

from 2 reviewers

Review Date:

Vibes starts strong but falters, with passable Blu-ray audio and video; recommended for fans of Goldblum and Lauper's quirky comedic chemistry.

Vibes on Blu-ray offers an acceptable 1080p presentation, albeit with fluctuating clarity and definition due to dated optical effects. The image is filmic yet sometimes pasty, with satisfactory black levels and decent color palette, particularly in South American scenes, though compression artifacts are evident at times.

Audio: 56

Vibes' DTS-HD Master Audio 2.0 lossless track provides a clear and engaging audio experience with robust clarity for both dialogue and music, despite the stereo limitation. Exceptional sound moments include James Horner’s immersive score and well-balanced ambient effects, outperforming many other films from its era.

Extra: 0

The Mill Creek Blu-ray release of 'Vibes' is barebones, offering no supplemental content beyond a Retro VHS style slipcover.

Movie: 51

Despite a promising start and solid performances from Jeff Goldblum and Cyndi Lauper, 'Vibes' ultimately falls short, devolving into a lackluster adventure with generic villains and a monotonous plot. Its initial charm and intriguing premise are marred by a spiritless second half, though 1980s nostalgia may offer some redeeming value for fans.
