Review Date:

August Rush: a charming, if flawed, feel-good movie with underwhelming extras.

Dolby TrueHD

Video: 56

August Rush's Blu-ray delivers detailed but inconsistent visuals, striking yet sometimes flat, mixing clarity and overly bright blacks, with a generally pleasing, film-like aesthetic.

Audio: 63

Despite some wanting more from the Dolby TrueHD mix of 'August Rush,' its immersive sound design impresses, particularly in music scenes, though opinions on overall robustness vary.

Extra: 11

The film's extras disappoint, offering only 14 minutes of additional scenes that add little value. Lacking commentary or music score, it's a paltry package that fails to enhance the viewing experience or celebrate the film, despite the potential for more enriching content.

Movie: 60

'August Rush' blends heart and music in a fantastical yet flawed narrative, marked by clichés and a mix of earnest and saccharine performances.
