Blu-ray Scores:
Overview: Drew Hancock’s Companion offers a subversive and thoughtful sci-fi thriller with elements of horror and dark comedy, driven by strong performances and sharp visuals. Despite a few story hiccups, the film provides an engaging, emotional, and at times eerie look at the human relationship with artificial intelligence. Warner Bros.’ Blu-ray edition preserves the film’s impressive technical quality even without HDR support.
Video Quality: ️ 4.0/5
The 1080p transfer is rock-solid, offering crisp visuals and strong detail throughout, although lacking the subtle highlights found in the 4K HDR version. Colors are slightly less nuanced compared to the UHD disc, but black levels remain deep and consistent. Minor banding is occasionally noticeable in darker scenes, but nothing distracting overall.
Audio Quality: 4.5/5
The Dolby TrueHD 7.1 track offers a dynamic and clear soundscape. Dialogue is perfectly balanced against Hrishikesh Hirway’s atmospheric and haunting musical score. Surround and ambient effects are employed well during more intense scenes, like the thunderstorm near the climax.
Extras: 1.5/5
The same brief but worthwhile featurettes from the 4K edition are included here:
Unfortunately, no commentary track or extensive behind-the-scenes content is provided.
Final Recommendation: Companion is a clever, enjoyable sci-fi thriller that works well on a modest budget. Warner Bros.’ Blu-ray offers strong A/V quality and decent bonus content for fans and newcomers alike. If you don’t need HDR or Atmos, this Blu-ray is a very solid way to enjoy the film. Firmly Recommended
