SPECIAL FEATURES \u2013 2.25\/5<\/strong><\/h2>\n

This release comes with a glossy slip cover. Inside is a DVD Copy<\/strong> and authorization code for the Digital Copy<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The only features included are some fluff and forgettable featurettes: Son of God<\/em> Reborn (28:33; HD)<\/strong> is a behind-the-scenes feature with on-set interviews; From the Set: The Passion (7:19; HD)<\/strong> offers more BTS footage for the crucifixion scene; Son of God<\/em>: Un Reino Sin Fronteras (22:58; HD)<\/strong> is the Spanish BTS featurette (w\/ English subtitles); Put Your Faith in Practice (5:16; HD)<\/strong> shows how to introduce children to a relationship with Christ; and finally we get the Theatrical Trailer (2:27; HD)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

VIDEO \u2013 4.0\/5<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The 1080p high-definition (AVC encoded) transfer, presented with a 2.35 widescreen aspect ratio, looks fine with good detail levels but colors are purposely washed out geared more towards desert colors and such. There\u2019s also some banding issues in transition shots and just all in all doesn\u2019t quite have the pop compared with other recent releases.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

AUDIO \u2013 3.75\/5<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The 5.1 DTS-HD Master Audio track offered up is effective enough with decent dialogue levels and the score comes through the other channels well enough. It\u2019s hardly an extraordinary lossless audio or anything but OK for what it is. The action elements show off some depth yet nothing noteworthy.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

OVERALL \u2013 2.5\/5<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Overall, Son of God<\/em><\/strong> is a cheap money maker for the studio, re-cutting the popular \u201cBible\u201d miniseries for a feature-length movie. What\u2019s here is generally acceptable acting but more in line for television and some respectable production design although the visual effects aren\u2019t anything great. It\u2019s an inoffensive movie and isn\u2019t terrible but also nothing I can recommend.<\/p>\n
