Perfect Sense introduces us to two characters. Michael is a chef is a high-end restaurant, and his favorite delicacy is fish. Susan (Eva Green) is an epidemiologist who studies how diseases work and originate. She is brought in to consult on a patient who is exhibiting bizarre symptoms. Following a emotional breakdown in which he couldn't stop thinking about regrets from the past, he lost his sense of smell. The problem is, this wasn't an isolated incident and suddenly, this is happening to many people across the country. As she is knee-deep in the strange epidemic, Susan meets Michael, as his restaurant is near her apartment and a romance begins to blossom. However, the outbreak effects both their lives. As Susan works to find the cause of the illness, Michael's restaurant is empty, as people who can't smell don't want to pay for expensive food. As the disease spreads, the symptoms worsen, targeting the other senses. With the world falling apart around them, Michael and Susan struggle to save their newfound relationship.

But, whereas Blindness went for a Lord of the Flies, "everyone is bad at the core" approach, Perfect Sense puts a more positive, but no less depressing spin on the subject. By focusing primarily on Susan and Michael, the movie not only puts a more human face on the situation, it makes things more intimate. The film avoids being a true science fiction film by becoming a tragic romance. Michael and Susan discover one another just as the world is thrown into upheaval. As noted above, the outbreak not only effects each of them in their job, but it also has a direct effect on their relationship. The scary aspects of the epidemic draw them closer, as they seek human comfort, but, as the symptoms escalate, it also pulls them apart. The ideas presented here would be sad enough as is, but to see it impact on this couple makes the movie all that more emotional.

While Perfect Sense offers an intriguing premise, it falls apart in the storytelling department. Simply put, the plot puts the movie on a linear track and it never diverts from it. Now, every more doesn't have to offer the twists and turns of an M. Night Shyamalan movie, but one does hope that a movie can add some surprises. However, Perfect Sense acts as if certain things are inevitable and simply lets them happen. Some would call this honest filmmaking, but based on the opening and things I'd seen in the trailer, I felt as if I was about to foresee the entire movie. That issue aside, Perfect Sense still has some strong points. Director David Mackenzie uses still and stock footage to show the global impact of the epidemic and nicely juxtaposes this with the scenes with Michael and Susan. This is a deliberately paced film, but it never feels slow and it contains some haunting images. McGregor and Green are good in their roles, most notably McGregor who plays Michael as a happy go lucky guy, which makes the scenes where he's under the disease's emotional spell even more powerful. Perfect Sense is emotional and engaging, but the viewer feels as if they are simply watching the second half, instead of experiencing it.

Perfect Sense has way too many scenes of people holding fishes to their faces on Blu-ray Disc courtesy of MPI Media. The film has been letterboxed at 2.35:1 and the Disc contains an AVC 1080p HD transfer which runs at an average of 30 Mbps. The image is sharp and clear for the most part, but it does show a slight amount of grain and the picture is a little soft in some shots. The colors look good and the image is never overly dark or bright. The level of detail is fairly good, but the aforementioned softness does affect it. The depth is good, and really stands out in some of the street scenes. The Disc carries a DTS-HD Master Audio track which runs at 48 kHz and an average of 2.0 Mbps. The track provides clear dialogue and sound effects. Overall, this a quiet movie, but there are some scenes which provide notable audio effects. The street scenes and riot scenes offers good stereo and surround effects and we feel as if we are placed in the middle of the action. The stereo separation is good and there are a few moments where the subwoofer is allowed to get in on the action.

The Perfect Sense Blu-ray Disc contains only two extra features. "Featurette" (2 minutes) is barely more than a trailer with comments from Director David Mackenzie and Eva Green, who make observations about the story and the themes. The only other extra is the TRAILER for the film.
