Video: 68

With an AVC encoded 1080p transfer in 1.85:1, 'Train to Busan' on Blu-ray offers sharp detail and impressive practical effects, despite some occasional color grading issues and CGI softness. Black levels are rich, and colors remain consistent throughout, making for a clean and immersive viewing experience.

Audio: 75

Train to Busan's Blu-ray offers an immersive DTS:X (DTS-HD Master Audio 7.1 core) track in Korean, delivering dynamic surround sound with notable LFE, precise effects placement, and clear dialogue, making the action sequences particularly engaging and the overall audio experience outstanding.

Extra: 26

The Blu-ray extras include an engaging real-time Behind the Scenes look (13:01) at key sequences, a candid yet repetitive That's a Wrap featurette (4:35), and trailers that spoil the film if watched prior. Despite the quality content, the inclusion of a commentary or the animated prequel 'Seoul Station' is glaringly missed.

Movie: 77

"Train to Busan" leverages its claustrophobic high-speed train setting to deliver thrilling zombie chaos and social commentary, driven by strong performances, notably Gong Yoo and Kim Su-an, dynamic character arcs, and intense action scenes reminiscent of '28 Days Later' and 'World War Z', all while balancing emotional depth and innovative filmmaking.
