Project X Blu-ray Review

#XtendedCut

Score: 52

from 3 reviewers

Review Date:

Faithful AV presentation but marred by a formulaic plot and debased teenage behavior; Blu-ray offers good picture quality, near-reference audio, and minimal supplements.

Video: 58

The Blu-ray presentation of 'Project X' showcases a diverse range of video sources, from handheld iPhones to Sony Digital-HD cameras, resulting in an intentionally stylized found-footage look. While black levels are deep and colors lifelike, the 1080p/AVC-encoded transfer includes compression artifacts and noise, reflecting source limitations but remaining true to the filmmakers' vision.

Audio: 65

The DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 track on 'Project X' is an intense, bass-heavy experience with thumping techno rhythms, robust low-frequency extension, and an enveloping soundfield. While it may lack nuance, it effectively captures the chaotic party atmosphere with powerful LFE and clear dialogue amidst the noise.

Extra: 36

With only three brief featurettes totaling fourteen minutes in HD—covering casting, damage overview, and behind-the-scenes footage—the Blu-ray extras for 'Project X' are minimal but complemented by an extended cut and UltraViolet Digital Copy.

Movie: 20

Project X delivers a morally vacuous, hyper-staged spectacle of teenage anarchy, devoid of likable characters or redeeming value, culminating in formulaic plot devices and excessive debauchery. The Blu-ray release includes an extended cut with additional scenes of indulgent recklessness, catering to those seeking unrelenting chaos.
