Review Date:

Jules blends life's complexities with mystery, driven by Kingsley's nuanced performance, yet feels slightly insubstantial despite its warm, engaging core.

Video: 70

The Blu-ray of 'Jules' presents an AVC encoded image in a 2.00:1 aspect ratio, offering mostly strong clarity and vibrant colors despite some artifacting and minor compression issues. The video showcases detailed faces and vivid interiors, though delineation occasionally struggles.

Audio: 80

The 5.1 DTS-HD MA mix delivers clear dialogue exchanges and intricate scoring cues, effectively engaging the surrounds with directional effects and atmospherics, complemented by occasional low-end rumbles, enhancing the overall audio experience without being overly memorable.

Extra: 36

Jade Becoming Jules is an intriguing yet brief featurette highlighting the four-hour daily prosthetic application process by Joshua Turi, showcasing actress Jade Quon's transformation into the eponymous alien; however, the extras lack depth with no trailer included.

Movie: 76

Jules balances humor and deeper themes of aging and loneliness, driven by Ben Kingsley's strong performance as Milton, who finds unexpected companionship in an alien visitor. While its narrative parallels E.T., Turtletaub provides a thoughtful examination of human needs, though the story may feel slight and redundant at times.
