Video: How Does the Disc Look?

Robot and Frank looks exceptional on this 2.40:1 anamorphic widescreen transfer. Sure, techie geeks will groan that Sony didn’t bother with a high-def edition of the movie, but the movie nevertheless milks the hell out of the format at hand here, delivering a sharp, assured image. Detail quality is crisp and well-defined, color accuracy is consistent and authentic, and compression artifacting is nowhere to be found. Beautiful.

Audio: How Does the Disc Sound?

This is a relatively simple Dolby Digital 5.1 track, but that doesn’t mean this lossy presentation doesn’t capture the movie’s soundscape perfectly. Dialogue is audible throughout, surrounds bubble to life fairly frequently, and fidelity is strongly panoramic. It’s not the kind of mix that will blow you away, but Robot and Frank surely sounds lovely here.

Portuguese and Spanish Dolby Digital 5.1 sound mixes are included, as are English SDH, French, Portuguese, and Spanish subtitles.
