Review Date:

"The Guillotines" offers spectacular fight sequences and stunning audio-visuals, but its confusing narrative and uneven pacing ultimately make it a mixed bag.

"The Guillotines" on Blu-ray, presented in 1080p with a 2.39:1 aspect ratio, boasts commendable fine detail, vibrant CGI integration, and dynamic cinematography despite color grading towards yellow and blue. However, the transfer is inconsistent, with noise spikes, minor banding, and occasionally murky blacks.

Audio: 74

The Guillotines' lossless DTS-HD Master Audio 7.1 track is an aggressive, immersive mix with standout surround activity, delivering clear dialogue, powerful low frequencies, and enveloping soundstage. The English dub is well-mixed with no noticeable disconnect, enhancing both action sequences and environmental ambiance.

Extra: 26

The Blu-ray extras for 'The Guillotines' offer a concise yet informative package. Featuring 38 minutes of cast and crew interviews, a 17-minute behind-the-scenes look, and the film's trailer, all in 1080p with Mandarin LPCM 2.0 and English subtitles, these supplements provide valuable insights into the film's production and historical context.

Movie: 36

The Guillotines dazzles with intricate, sci-fi-inspired weaponry and vibrant visuals but falters with uneven storytelling, disorienting structure, and lackluster character development, leading to a largely confusing and monotonous experience despite bursts of action. The Blu-ray from Well Go USA offers a standard presentation without significant extras.
