Plot: In the distant future, a mercenary force must destroy a murderous machine that turns humans into mutants. A tough, sci-fi action movie with a prominent cast.

Okay.

Movie Details:

Blu-ray: Mutant Chronicles

Length: 111 minutes

Genre: Science-fiction thriller

Studio: Magnolia Home Entertainment

Cast: Thomas Jane, Ron Perlman, John Malkovich

Director: Simon Hunter

Rating: R (USA), 18 (U.K.), FSK 18 (Germany)

Picture Format: 1.85:1 (1080p/24 Hz)

Soundtracks: DTS-HD High Resolution 7.1 (German), DTS-HD High Resolution 7.1 (English)

PICTURE QUALITY:
So-so. The image loses some plasticity, depth of focus, and fine-detail reproduction as a result of the softening used to help integrate the computer-generated backgrounds. Weak color-saturation makes the movie look almost black-and-white.

(5 out of 10 points)

SOUND QUALITY:
Excellent - the 7.1 mix in DTS-HD High Resolution earns our top score! The bass sounds brutal, and the sound has enormous dynamism. Surround action at its best.

(10 out of 10 points)

BONUS MATERIAL:
Poor: Backstage footage, interviews each lasting just under 20 minutes, and a trailer.
