Priest Blu-ray Review

Score: 52

from 3 reviewers

Review Date:

Priest offers an unoriginal story with competent technical execution, but its 3D Blu-ray adds little to justify the extra cost. Better rented than bought.

Priest’s Blu-ray presentation, with its intentionally dark and chromatic visual style, offers good shadow delineation and deep blacks, yet the 3D conversion adds little to its 1080p visuals. While brighter elements and exteriors showcase impressive depth and minimal crosstalk, dim interiors often suffer detail loss, making the 3D viewing less impactful.

Audio: 50

The DTS-HD Master Audio soundtrack in "Priest" is energetic, aggressive, and immersive with well-placed directional and ambient effects, creating a rich soundscape enhanced by clean, extended bass reproduction. Despite some issues with overly loud ambient sounds and occasional dialogue clarity, the dynamic range remains strong and undistorted, delivering an engaging surround experience that complements the film's intense action sequences.

Extra: 60

The Blu-ray extras for 'Priest' provide a rich, detailed exploration of the film's world and its creation, with interactive 3D features, insightful audio commentary, in-depth featurettes on production design and weaponry, as well as deleted scenes and trailers, making it a comprehensive package for fans and cinephiles alike.

Movie: 27

"Priest" fails to deliver originality, settling instead for a slick yet superficial blend of borrowed elements—from its dark, derivative plot to its uninspired dialogue and recycled visuals. While technically polished with coherent genre blending and impressive cinematography, it crumbles under cliché-ridden action and forgettable execution.
