Blue Beetle's 4K UHD Blu-ray presents an impressive Dolby Atmos track featuring gut-punching bass, clear dialogue, and immersive, well-placed audio objects.

Packed with nearly 50 minutes of engaging, slickly-produced featurettes, 'Blue Beetle’s' 4K UHD extras delve into the film's production, character origins, and key scenes, highlighted by a 4-part documentary and a charming segment on Jaime's grandma.

Movie: 55

Blue Beetle offers an enjoyable, if formulaic, superhero origin story driven by strong performances and a vibrant family dynamic. Despite limited originality and a wavering attachment to the DC Universe amid its reboot phase, its colorful production and enthusiastic cast give it heart, albeit falling short in action and villainy.
