Video: 77

The 2.40:1 1080p AVC encoded transfer of 'Beyond the Reach' impresses with sharpness, clarity, and natural color grading, capturing vivid desert vistas and lifelike flesh tones, despite minimal noise in darker scenes; the quality fundamentally showcases Russell Carpenter's cinematography and Arri Alexa's capabilities.

Audio: 77

Beyond the Reach's DTS-HD MA 5.1 mix effectively balances immersive ambient sounds, precise panning effects, and a minimalist score in the surrounds. Dynamic range is wide, dialogue crystal clear, and LFE is deep and distortion-free, offering an impressive audio experience for both quiet and action-packed scenes.

Extra: 40

The Blu-ray extras for 'Beyond the Reach' offer decent insights, featuring an engaging but occasionally disjointed audio commentary, a standard making-of featurette, and a promotional piece for the Mercedes G63 6x6 SUV that feels like a trade-off for its on-screen presence.

Movie: 50

Beyond the Reach delivers a tense cat-and-mouse thrill, spearheaded by Michael Douglas’ riveting performance as a corporate villain turned predator. While the Blu-ray features commendable commentary and visuals, the plot's far-fetched premise and absurd ending detract from an otherwise gripping narrative.
