Review Date:

The Air I Breathe offers a thought-provoking narrative with a decent Blu-ray presentation, but struggles with dialogue volume and lacks substantial depth, making it hard to recommend.

Video: 43

The Air I Breathe on Blu-ray features a technically proficient 1080p/AVC MPEG-4 transfer with solid colors, deep blacks, and accurate skin tones, though it lacks consistent fine detail and three-dimensional pop in several scenes, especially dark ones. Overall, the presentation is dependable but not outstanding.

Audio: 40

"The Air I Breathe" features a DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 track that showcases excellent separation and immersive sound, though suffers from occasionally inaudible dialogue. The soundtrack emphasizes impressive LFE responses and enveloping ambient effects, effectively supporting the film's atmosphere despite some minor audio balance issues.

Extra: 33

The Blu-ray of 'The Air I Breathe' features standard definition extras including a thorough yet somewhat pretentious commentary by director Jieho Lee and his team, deleted scenes that add little value, awkward outtakes, and a theatrical trailer—all appearing to pad the release without offering substantial behind-the-scenes content.

Movie: 50

The Air I Breathe features commendable performances by Forest Whitaker, Brendan Fraser, Andy Garcia, and Sarah Michelle Gellar. However, the film, burdened by a rookie director and pretentious script, struggles with its interwoven narrative and underwhelming Blu-ray quality; the DTS-Master Audio soundtrack lacks proper dialogue clarity.
