The Blu-ray of "Reds" shines with a stunning 1080p transfer, enhanced from a 4K restoration supervised by Warren Beatty. Featuring a beautiful film-like grain, exceptional clarity, and organic texture, it offers vibrant colors, deep blacks, and flawless encoding. A visual masterpiece celebrating its 40th anniversary.

Audio: 80

The Dolby TrueHD 5.1 lossless soundtrack for "Reds" offers a newly restored and front-heavy experience with subtle surround enhancements. The audio maintains clear dialogue and well-modulated music, while preserving the original intent. Despite some muffling, bass impact and ambient details elevate its dynamic range beautifully.

Extra: 57

The Blu-ray of "Reds" delivers a comprehensive suite of legacy extras, now conveniently on a separate disc, featuring a seven-part, 75-minute "Witness to Reds" documentary in SD, and the trailer in HD, enhancing its archival value without adding new content.

Movie: 73

Paramount's remastered Blu-ray of 'Reds' brings Warren Beatty's ambitious epic to life with stunning 1080p video and Dolby TrueHD 5.1 audio, highlighting the film's technical prowess and artistic direction. However, despite its impressive performances and award-winning cinematography, the lengthy narrative lacks emotional depth, making it more a cinematic marvel than a heartfelt journey.
