Video: 52

Optimum Home Entertainment's 1080p Blu-ray of 'Brotherhood of the Wolf' with a 2.33:1 aspect ratio and MPEG-4 AVC encoding outperforms the problematic R1 DVD but still falls short of the French 2008 VC-1 release, primarily due to dated source material and over-applied grain and noise corrections, despite improved indoor color reproduction. Note: Region-B locked.

Audio: 82

The Blu-ray's French DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 track is outstanding, leveraging dynamic intensity that enhances the film's best scenes. Surround channels are expertly utilized, making action and dialogues crisp, clean, and engaging.

Extra: 51

A comprehensive documentary directed by Pascal Laugier, delving into the creative challenges of "Brotherhood of the Wolf" with raw footage, interviews, and tests, offering an insightful behind-the-scenes look in both French and English with optional subtitles (78 min, PAL).

Movie: 86

Christophe Gans' 'Brotherhood of the Wolf' arrives on Blu-ray with dazzling visuals, a long supplementary documentary, and an epic blend of action, mystery, romance, and period authenticity, making it a must-watch for diverse audiences. The release includes both Theatrical and Director's Cut, offering comprehensive viewing options. Region-B locked.
