Review: Spare Parts DVD

Spare Parts is an inspiring and all around well made drama and features some fine performances from George Lopez to Jamie Lee Curtis and the four young men in the primary roles. The DVD released by Lionsgate is basic but the video and audio transfers are both well done while the bonus material is limited.

THE MOVIE

When four wildly different high schoolers team up to enter a robotics competition against the nation’s top tech colleges, no one believes they have a chance – no one but Fredi (GEORGE LOPEZ), their new substitute teacher. As Fredi challenges his students to be the best they can be, they show him the power of never giving up.

SPECIAL FEATURES – 1.0/5

This release comes with a glossy slip cover. Inside is a redemption code for the UltraViolet Digital Copy. Not much in terms of bonus features save for some Deleted Scenes (2:50).

VIDEO – 4.0/5 | AUDIO – 4.5/5

Spare Parts is released by Lionsgate presented with an anamorphic widescreen 2.40 aspect ratio and showcases good colors and minimal artifacts. The Dolby Digital 5.1 track is fantastic providing some excellent depth between the clean and clear dialogue levels while the soundtrack and score come through quite effectively and with well balanced bass.

OVERALL – 3.0/5

Overall, Spare Parts is an inspiring and all around well made drama and features some fine performances from George Lopez to Jamie Lee Curtis and the four young men in the primary roles. The DVD released by Lionsgate is basic but the video and audio transfers are both well done while the bonus material is limited.
