It's another stellar Blu-ray week with the release of Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland (Walt Disney Studios Home Ent.), Steven Spielberg's War of the Worlds (Paramount Home Ent.) and Joe Johnston's re-imagined The Wolfman (Universal Studios Home Ent.).

Alice looks even more stunning in 2-D at home (1.78:1 1080p AVC encode) than in 3-D in the theater, benefitting greatly from most of the movie being shot on video. The contrast between drab and colorful Underland is all the more apparent. Plus there's marvelous depth as well. Likewise, the 5.1 DTS-HD Master audio offers some immersive sonic delights.

As Ken Ralston, Sony Imageworks' senior visual effects supervisor, points out, "Everything is designed very specifically, and as we started to figure out what all the different characters were and what we could do to make them interesting and maintain as much of our actors in the shots as we could, we wanted to blend them into this CG world. And with our animated characters, we walked a tightrope to keep it feeling like it's all happening immediately."

Animated characters such as the White Rabbit, Cheshire Cat, Blue Caterpillar, Bandersnatch and Jabberwocky stand out among the "hodgepodge of tricks," including shooting large heads with the Dalsa Evolution camera and digitally enlarging Johnny Depp's eyes to enhance the look of the Mad Hatter.
