The cornerstone of any Blu-ray.com review is the Video and Audio section. For Poor Things , the 4K Ultra HD release (courtesy of Searchlight Pictures/Disney) was met with an almost unanimous sigh of relief. The film’s distinctive visual language—shot by Robbie Ryan on black-and-white and color Ektachrome film stock—presents a unique encoding challenge. The forum threads on Blu-ray.com dissected how the HDR10 and Dolby Vision grades handle the film’s jarring transitions: from the stark, high-contrast monochrome of Bella Baxter’s genesis to the explosive, surrealist pastels of Lisbon and the muted, sickly yellows of Alexandria.

Designed with visceral, anatomical imagery—Bella’s exposed brain, the surgical tools, fish-eye close-ups of Emma Stone’s expression—the SteelBook was hailed as a “work of art unto itself.” Users posted “pickup” photos (often with pets or expensive speaker systems in the background) comparing the matte finish to the spot-gloss on the title font.

And for the collectors, Poor Things looks damn good on a shelf. The cornerstone of any Blu-ray

Given Disney’s (Searchlight’s parent company) recent history of licensing titles to The Criterion Collection (e.g., The French Dispatch , Wall-E ), many users on Blu-ray.com argue they will hold off purchasing the current “barebones” disc in anticipation of a loaded Criterion edition in 2025 or 2026. Forum arguments erupt over this: “Buy now for the best transfer” versus “Wait for the Criterion for the supplements.” This tension—between immediate technical gratification and long-term archival completeness—is the beating heart of the Blu-ray.com philosophy.
