Vampire Academy Blu-ray Review

Score: 57

from 3 reviewers

Review Date:

Vampire Academy is predictably bland with a poor script and needlessly complex characters. However, the Blu-ray offers excellent audio and video quality.

The Vampire Academy Blu-ray offers an above-average 1080p/AVC MPEG-4 transfer with a slightly enhanced color palette, deep blacks, and consistent contrast. Although softer visuals arise, they align with the cinematography. While the audio is well balanced, it lacks standout elements, providing clear dialogue and expected dynamics.

Audio: 68

Vampire Academy's Blu-ray presentation features an above-average HD display, complemented by a solid DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 track. The soundstage is wide and spacious, balancing clear dialogue, immersive ambient effects, and powerful low-end bass, despite not being a standout in 2014.

Extra: 31

Extras for Vampire Academy Blu-ray include an engaging conversation with author Richelle Mead discussing story insights, a brief but informative animated alternate opening, and five deleted scenes that add little value, all in high definition with a UV digital copy included.

Movie: 31

Vampire Academy is a lackluster adaptation with bland characters, trite drama, and an overcomplicated plot, failing both in entertainment and emotional engagement. The Blu-ray presentation is technically solid, but the film itself suffers from lifeless performances and unimaginative storytelling.
