PLOT SYNOPSIS<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n
\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

Prince Temujin (OMAR SHARIF) watches the execution of his father by the ruthless Mongol leader, Jamuga (STEPHEN BOYD), who forces Temujin and his people into slavery. Escaping into the mountains, Temujin vows to avenge his father and unite the Mongol people. He kidnaps and eventually marries Bortei\u00a0(FRANCOISE DORLEAC), a woman betrothed to Jamuga. He then raises an army and saves China from Jamuga’s invaders, prompting the emperor (ROBERT MORLEY) to convey upon him the title Genghis Khan.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Twilight Time releases Genghis Khan<\/em><\/strong> presented in its original 2.35 widescreen aspect ratio and given a 1080p high-definition transfer and although there were some specs here and there, it was a good looking picture and colors were generally bright.<\/p>\n

The disc includes a standard but effective DTS-HD Master Audio Mono track.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

OVERALL \u2013 2.75\/5<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n
\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

Overall, an uneven adventure-drama, Genghis Khan<\/em><\/strong> is still a well acted, primarily by Omar Sharif in the title role, and entertaining enough film. The Blu-ray release by Twilight Time offers up good video\/audio transfers but sadly is lacking the features department.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
