As the Light Goes Out offers impressive pyrotechnics and strong technical merits but falls short in compelling drama and overall engagement.

As the Light Goes Out on Blu-ray features an AVC encoded 1080p transfer in 2.38:1, delivering excellent sharpness and exceptional fine detail in close-ups, despite some issues with smoke-filled scenes leading to minor blocking and banding. Black levels are rich and color reproduction, though limited, is commendably consistent.

Audio: 71

As the Light Goes Out features a lossless DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 mix with superb low-end, consistent surround activity, and well-presented dialogue, though occasionally muted by firefighter helmets. The track maintains a balance between score, effects, and voice, accurately depicting onscreen events with solid dynamics and low-frequency extension.

Extra: 6

Only a 1080p trailer is provided, offering nothing beyond a basic promotional preview in HD.

Movie: 41

As the Light Goes Out features impressive CG-heavy firefighting action, but the melodramatic and predictable character interactions fail to match its visual spectacle, resulting in an uneven film that feels more like a firefighting video game than a gripping narrative.
