The Video: Sizing Up the Picture

3D

Meet your new 3D demo. 'Gravity - 3D' launches to on Blu-ray as one of the best 3D discs currently available. It is encoded in MPEG-4 MVC, and presented in its original 2.40:1 theatrical aspect ratio. Unlike some recent productions that had alternate aspect ratios, 'Gravity' was consistent across all exhibition platforms, including IMAX.

The Audio: Rating the Sound

'Gravity' tears onto Blu-ray with a delicious, demonstration-worthy 5.1 DTS-HA MA surround sound track that is just shy of perfection.

Final Thoughts

'Gravity' is one of my favorite cinematic experiences of the last few years, thanks to tight scripting, bold filmmaking, and master craftsmanship. As a Blu-ray, this 3D set is definitely the way to go -- giving viewers that window into another world feeling -- though the two dimensional version is nice too. The 5.1 sound mix is also amazing, though not quite articulate as some 7.1 mixes, nor the film's own theatrical Dolby Atmos mix. The Special Features offer great insight into how this movie was constructed. Tossing in a commentary and trailers would have rounded out the set.

While I would prefer seeing 'Gravity' in a professional theatre (hopefully it will play in revivals or as a re-release), the Blu-ray experience is pretty close and maintains upon repeat viewings. Just find the biggest screen possible, and avoid smartphones or tablets.

This title comes with my highest recommendation: Must Own.
