Goldstone Blu-ray Front Cover

Disc Release Date

DTS-HD MA

Video: 87

Goldstone's Blu-ray presentation showcases stunning 1080p visuals in a 2.39:1 transfer from the Red Epic digital capture, offering razor-sharp detail, excellent depth of field, and natural, vivid colors. Though some scenes show minor banding and slightly anemic contrast, it's largely demo-worthy.

Audio: 75

Goldstone’s DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 track delivers high-quality sound with excellent immersion in outdoor scenes and action moments, despite some difficult-to-decipher dialogue and lack of subtitles. The lossless audio outshines Dolby Digital 5.1, offering well-balanced fidelity with impressive impact and clean delivery.

Extra: 27

Goldstone's Blu-ray extras consist of brief, interview-based featurettes providing insights from director Ivan Sen and the cast on characters, plot, and themes such as corruption and Indigenous history; the content, while informative, could benefit from being a comprehensive making-of documentary.

Movie: 85

"Goldstone" is a compelling and thoughtful sequel to "Mystery Road," featuring Aaron Pedersen's return as Jay Swan, unraveling a web of corruption in an isolated Australian mining town. Director Ivan Sen excels in multiple roles, delivering a riveting neo-noir with a stellar cast, deep emotional heft, and Fordian visuals.
