POWER OF GRAYSKULL Blu-ray review
https://www.blu-ray.com/movies/Power-of ... 56/#Review

Image
Video Quality 4.0 of 5

The AVC encoded image (2.00:1 aspect ratio) presentation handles color very well, examining explosive "Masters of the Universe" hues on the toys, packaging, and various elements of art. It's a nice display of primaries, capturing the varied looks in the toy line. Interviewee footage is intentionally muted, providing a cooler look at work spaces and clothing choices. Skin tones are natural. Detail does well during interviews, reaching tech limits with some sense of skin particulars and interior dimension. Toy shots retain plastic textures. Delineation is satisfactory. Compression largely holds together, with very mild banding spotted at times.

Audio Quality 4.5 of 5

The 5.1 DTS-HD MA mix offers a powerful, active low-end, delivering big booms during transitions and explosions, also keeping up with soundtrack beats. Interviewees maintain a crisp presence, capturing varied personalities and elements of age. Scoring support registers clearly, and musical moods fill up the surrounds, delivering an immersive listening experience.
