Venom Blu-ray Review

Score: 69

from 2 reviewers

Review Date:

Venom features impressive digital effects and solid action but suffers from uninspiring character development; the Blu-ray is great, though the UHD offers superior visuals and audio.

Video: 75

Venom's Blu-ray presentation impresses with sharp, clear detail, robust colors, and excellent black levels, though minor softness and occasional brightness inconsistencies are noted. The 1080p/AVC MPEG-4 encode captures sharp textures in skin, environments, and digital effects well integrated with little artifacting.

Audio: 80

Venom's Blu-ray DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 soundtrack delivers a remarkably active and sonically fulfilling experience with clear dialogue, precise imaging, and robust, room-shaking low-end, despite lacking the immersive punch of the UHD’s Dolby Atmos track and sporadic surround use.

Extra: 51

The Blu-ray extras of 'Venom' offer a robust package with informative trivia pop-ups, in-depth featurettes on character history and production, deleted scenes, pre-visualization segments, music videos from Eminem and Post Malone, and a sneak peek of 'Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse,' making it a comprehensive addition for both casual viewers and dedicated fans.

Movie: 41

Ruben Fleischer’s 'Venom' offers a visually captivating spectacle with dynamic CG and Tom Hardy's compelling performance, yet it ultimately falters with a clichéd plot and superficial story, feeling more like a watered-down, chaotic mess rather than an engaging anti-hero origin story.
