Although Kong: Skull Island's human elements sometimes overshadow Kong, the Blu-ray offers jaw-dropping audio-visuals and is an energetic, fun watch with excellent cast performances.

Kong: Skull Island boasts a pristine 1080p/AVC MPEG-4 encode with rich, vibrant colors and exceptional sharpness, showcasing detailed CG and realistic sequences. Despite its 2K digital intermediary, it features near impeccable blacks, meticulous detailing in hair and foliage, and expertly rendered period-specific color gradings.

Audio: 82

Kong: Skull Island’s Blu-ray offers an exhilarating audio experience, particularly with its Dolby Atmos track, featuring pinpoint-precise directional cues, thunderous low-end effects, and a dynamic range that showcases roaring engines, jungle sounds, and gripping action sequences. The DTS-HD MA 5.1 mix is good but clearly inferior to the Atmos option.

Extra: 50

The Blu-ray extras for 'Kong: Skull Island' offer an engaging mix of informative and promotional content, highlighted by a spirited director's commentary, insightful featurettes on Kong's design and effects technology, authentic on-location experiences, and Brie Larson's behind-the-scenes photography.

Movie: 63

Kong: Skull Island excels with cutting-edge CGI and dynamic action sequences, offering a thrilling yet flawed installment in the MonsterVerse. The narrative, set against a 1970s backdrop, combines elements of classic monster films with a nod to Vietnam-era cinema, bolstered by an ensemble cast and immersive visual effects. Though the human characters are secondary to the spectacle, standout performances, particularly from John C. Reilly and Samuel L. Jackson, add depth to this exhilarating cinematic experience.
