Warner Bros. releases Judas and the Black Messiah<\/em><\/strong> onto Blu-ray presented with a 2.39 widescreen aspect ratio and a 1080p high-definition transfer. Detail, as one would expect for a new release, is sharp and well defined throughout and colors appear to be in keeping with the time period, so tones are more on the natural realm versus any bright colors, however there are some pop here and there.<\/p>\n

The disc comes equipped with a DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 track which is satisfactory enough given the bulk is pretty much dialogue driven with some era-appropriate music alongside the score comprising the front and rear channels with some modest depth thrown in for good measure.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
