The Crow: Salvation struggles with lackluster performances and direction, but offers a solid 5.1 audio mix and decent Blu-ray upgrade despite its budget constraints.

Video: 35

The Crow: Salvation's Blu-ray presentation uses an outdated AVC encoded master, likely from DVD days, resulting in filtered details, lifeless skin tones, and muddy colors. While some facial and costume details are decent, the image lacks vibrancy and depth, revealing its need for a fresh scan and restoration.

Audio: 75

The Crow: Salvation's audio presentation shines with its DTS-HD MA 5.1 mix, offering clear dialogue and emotive scoring, utilizing surrounds for musical and atmospheric depth, while balancing front-heavy focus with dynamic low-end effects in action scenes.

Extra: 51

The Blu-ray extras for 'The Crow: Salvation' offer a comprehensive revisit of legacy content with in-depth audio commentary featuring Bharat Nalluri and crew, insightful behind-the-scenes looks, including interviews with key cast and creatives, as well as intriguing features on production design, makeup, and bird training intricacies.

Movie: 46

The Crow: Salvation, the third entry in the series, struggles with uninspired plotlines and a thin budget, relying on Eric Mabius’s earnest performance and scarring makeup concept. Attempts at suspense falter into repetitive 90s action clichés, but the film remains a serviceable if unremarkable continuation of the Crow's legacy.
