LOST Season 4 started off with a bang. In the final episode of Season 3, we see Jack finally getting an opportunity to go back home but having that opportunity being taken away from him. We see the Others attack the camp of where the survivors of Oceanic Flight 815 were staying but most of all, a significant death of a main character. But what was even more surprising for everyone was to see Jack and Kate several years in the future. With Jack telling Kate that they need to go back.
This left fans with a significant hint that there are survivors who made it off the island. But who were they? Also, who will be rescuing the survivors or more like, are they even there to save them?
There are so many things that happened in Season 4 that it would be too difficult to explain but I can tell you that the whole season was exciting and despite the writer’s strike possibly hindering the amount of episodes in the season, “LOST” was able to capitalize with quality over quantity in a total of 13 episodes and boy did they deliver.
“LOST – THE COMPETE FOURTH SEASON” features the following episodes:
- The Beginning of the End
- Confirmed Dead
- The Economist
- Eggtown
- The Constant
- The Other Woman
- Ji Yeon
- Meet Kevin Johnson
- The Shape of Things to COme
- Something Nice Back Home
- Cabin Fever
- There’s No Place Like Home (Part 1 of 2)
- There’s No Place Like Home (Part 2 of 2)
Again, I really don’t want to spoil the season for anyone but I will say that the body count of this season is quite high and the amount of action is also quite high for the fourth season. The storytelling was just awesome and the acting was well done. Especially the final episode. Absolutely fantastic!
VIDEO:
The video is featured in 1080p High Definition/1:78:1. One of the first things you will notice is how the island just comes alive with the vibrant colors. From the lush greens to the variation of blues from the sky to the ocean. And yes, you will be able to see the pores, the wrinkles of each actor. The picture quality was absolutely beautiful. I did see a few scenes (low-light) where there was considerable noise. But only a few scenes.
AUDIO:
The audio features are English 5.1 uncompressed (48khz/16-bit) and English and French in Dolby Digital 5.1 and Spanish in Dolby Digital 2.0. During the action scenes or when you hear the music during a suspenseful scene, that is when you hear the audio being utilized. Especially for this season due to the amount of explosions. But overall, the audio is primarily dialogue. You won’t hear birds chirping or the oceans waves pounding from the island, but after watching the featurettes and the challenges of filming in public beaches and areas near traffic, I can understand the crew trying to make sure the dialogue came out clear and not trying to incorporate another noises that could have hindered the dialogue.
SPECIAL FEATURES:
The Blu-ray edition of “LOST – THE COMPLETE SEASON FOUR” definitely is full of special features. Included are:
Like previous “LOST” Seasons on DVD and Blu-ray, there are also Easter Eggs. In fact, there over 20 of them. You can find many of them here.
The booklet inside the case features an Oceanic Airlines “For Your Safety” guide which was more for laughs such as “What to do if you find yourself in an event of an unlikely electromagnetic blast”, what to do if you hear scary voices and much more.
I’ve owned every season of “LOST” on DVD and Blu-ray but the fourth season on Blu-ray is visually and audio appealing for “LOST” fans, there are so many awesome bonus features, let alone Easter Eggs that you can’t help but be content and happy with the overall product.
The fourth season with it’s gripping storyline, action and acting really made the fourth season quite enjoyable. But the Blu-ray version really enhanced my love or this show due to the vibrant colors and just the beauty of the island and the audio quality but how many special features (that were quite lengthy) included on this box set. You’re getting your money’s worth with this release.
There are not many television shows on Blu-ray at this time but currently, I have to say that “LOST – THE COMPLETE FOURTH SEASON” is the best out there right now. A total package and a must own for fans of the series!
