Sonic the Hedgehog 3 – Blu-ray Review (Paramount, 2025)
Format: 2K Blu-ray
Release Date: April 15, 2025
️ Runtime: 109 minutes
️ Genres: Animation | Family | Fantasy | Comedy | Adventure
Rating: PG
The standard Blu-ray holds its own impressively well. Detail is sharp, color saturation is vibrant, and black levels are deep. While the 4K disc adds refinements in tone mapping and definition, the 1080p version still stuns thanks to the clean digital animation and fluid visual effects work. There’s no banding or compression artifacting to speak of, and motion remains smooth throughout high-speed scenes. It’s one of Paramount’s better 1080p transfers — crisp, clean, and ready for family night.
Though it lacks the verticality of the Atmos track on the 4K disc, this 7.1 mix still rocks. Directionality is precise, rear channels get plenty of love during chase scenes and fight sequences, and LFE response (especially during Shadow’s scenes) is tight and effective. Music shines, dialogue stays clear, and the overall mix remains immersive without becoming overwhelming.
All extras are shared with the 4K disc:
Though light in runtime per piece, the extras are entertaining and cater well to fans young and old.
Even without the Dolby Vision or Atmos enhancements, Sonic the Hedgehog 3 on Blu-ray is a high-quality disc through and through. The presentation is strong, the extras are fun, and the DTS-HD 7.1 audio mix delivers the goods. Whether you’re a diehard collector or just want to enjoy the movie with the kids, this disc gets the job done.
✅ RECOMMENDED.
