The Blu-ray of 'Wonderwall,' featuring an AVC encoded 1080p transfer in 1.67:1, showcases vivid colors and excellent fine detail in most scenes despite occasional low contrast and sharpness inconsistencies. The Pinewood restoration's impressive remastering brings out facial expressiveness and vibrant hues, maintaining a dreamlike aesthetic.

Audio: 60

The DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 mix effectively highlights George Harrison's soundtrack, though it lacks an immersive cinematic atmosphere with dialogue and sound effects often feeling flat. Some midrange distortion and phased dialogue are noted, but overall clarity is maintained.

Extra: 61

The Blu-ray extras for 'Wonderwall' include the Theatrical and Director's cuts in 1080p, a robust Publicity Gallery with stills, poster scans, and texts. Key features like 'Reflections on Love' and 'The Remo Four Music Video' offer rich, nostalgic content. Insert booklet boasts insightful articles from Joe Massot and The Remo Four, adding fascinating historical context.

Movie: 61

"Wonderwall," a psychedelic relic of the late '60s with George Harrison's mystical soundtrack, epitomizes the era's cultural divide and drug-fueled surrealism through a voyeuristic professor's tale. Shout Factory's Blu-ray offers a fascinating time capsule, marred slightly by its disjointed narrative but enriched by extraordinary production design and historical insights.
