Battle of the Year showcases an invigorating DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 lossless soundtrack that delivers booming LFE, crisp highs, and punchy mids. The dynamic mix of blasting Hip Hop tunes, crowd noise, and well-mixed dialogue creates an enveloping and exciting auditory experience, capturing the essence of B-boy battles superbly.

The Blu-ray extras for 'Battle of the Year' include extended dance sequences, in-depth looks at B-boy culture and history, a guide on B-boy moves and stage names, and a comprehensive review of the cast's training and rehearsal processes, all presented in HD for an immersive experience.

Despite its clichéd plot and predictability, 'Battle of the Year' offers exceptional dance sequences with intense choreography and genuine heart, making it a surprising delight for fans of the genre, even if it disappoints in broader cinematic terms.
