<\/em><\/strong><\/em><\/strong>Vikingdom<\/i><\/b> arrives on DVD presented with a 16×9 enhanced 1.85 widescreen aspect ratio and outside of the movie looking utterly cheap, doesn\u2019t look that bad. Colors are relatively muted save for Thor\u2019s red beard and artifacting\/pixilation isn\u2019t overly abundant.

AUDIO \u2013 3.5\/5<\/strong><\/h2>\n

At the start, this Dolby Digital 5.1 track is absolutely overpowering and not in a good way where the audio is blaring and has no depth. It does settle down after the opening credits where dialogue levels are clear and any action elements come through well enough but nothing amazing.<\/p>\n
