Review Date:

"The Atticus Institute is a competently made entry in the found footage genre with solid video and audio on Blu-ray, but fails to rise above its many peers."

Video: 51

The Atticus Institute Blu-ray presents a mixed bag of visuals, with intentionally degraded 70s-style archive footage clashing with robust, clear HD interview segments. Clarity and detail shift dramatically, and while interview sections offer vibrant colors and crisp details, vintage segments deliberately mimic the period's limitations.

Audio: 76

The Atticus Institute features a dynamic Dolby TrueHD 5.1 soundtrack with precise dialogue, robust bass, and expertly mixed ambient effects, creating an unsettling and immersive audio experience that excels in both detail and atmospheric presence.

Extra: 21

The Blu-ray of 'The Atticus Institute' includes a brief but insightful 9-minute featurette exploring the film's origins, structure, and performances, along with 7 minutes of high-definition deleted scenes. Despite the limited extras, the content is solid and entertaining, reflecting the movie's authentic feel.

Movie: 51

The Atticus Institute, despite utilizing a tired found footage format, impresses with its authentic documentary style, effective low-budget production, and strong performances, though the genre's oversaturation dilutes its impact and the film's believability hinges on partial viewing, reflecting its limited theatrical viability.
