The Adjustment Bureau's Blu-ray offers stellar video and audio quality while delivering a stylish if flawed romantic thriller with strong chemistry between Damon and Blunt.

While "The Adjustment Bureau" on Blu-ray might not reach the top tier of new releases, its stylish 1080p/VC-1 encode (1.85:1) delivers dynamic blacks, good color balance, and natural grain, though minor shadow crush and inconsistent definition are noted.

Audio: 61

The Adjustment Bureau's lossless DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 mix is well-balanced with intelligible dialogue and good dynamics, offering a spacious and immersive front-heavy soundscape with effective panning and detailed ambient effects, though it lacks consistent excitement throughout.

Extra: 43

The Blu-ray extras for 'The Adjustment Bureau' offer an informative but not deeply detailed collection, featuring writer/director commentary on adapting the Dick story and arduous New York location shoots, along with featurettes on cast roles, shooting in NYC, and Emily Blunt's dance training.

Movie: 60

The Adjustment Bureau skillfully hooks viewers with the compelling chemistry of Matt Damon and Emily Blunt, navigating the interplay of free will and destiny; however, despite stylish direction and intriguing premises borrowed from Philip K. Dick, the film falters under contrived plot devices and an ultimately disappointing, anticlimactic ending.
