The Scorpion King 3: Battle for Redemption(2011)
In a dangerous, action-packed battle to regain his glory and reclaim the empire, Mathayus’s journey is steeped in intrigue, sorcery and romance, fueling this new film that spawned from the billion-dollar The Mummy film franchise. The Scorpion King 3: Battle for Redemption tops the series once again, featuring even more of the heart-stopping action, mind-bending stunts and astonishing plot twists that have earned the series millions of fans the world over.

Hall (I) Director: Roel Reiné » See full cast & crew The Scorpion King 3: Battle for Redemption Blu-ray, Video QualityThe Scorpion King 3: Battle for Redemption isn't a pretty film, by any means. It has the same muted, glossy digital video look as many a low-budget direct-to-video sequel, and there isn't a lot to compliment, at least not on an aesthetic level. Colors are dull and diluted, skintones are washed out, black levels rarely dip below charcoal or iron kettle, and contrast is weak and sun-bleached. But I have no doubt Universal's 1080p/VC-1 presentation is (presumably) a near-perfect representation of the film's source. Detail is strong and closeups are even stronger, edge definition is crisp and clean, fine textures are neither smeared nor indistinct, and delineation is revealing (albeit to a fault). Even Reiné's dingy, at-times soulless palette is consistent and proficiently preserved, without so much as a burst of artifacting to complain about. There are some digital anomalies to be found, but most -- if not all -- appear amidst Redemption's shoddy visual effects, which suggests, again, that almost every issue that appears is source-based, not the product of a mediocre transfer. The Scorpion King 3 may look like a bargain-bin reject, but its high definition presentation is technically sound. The Scorpion King 3: Battle for Redemption Blu-ray, Audio QualityRedemption's DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 surround track is more difficult to evaluate. I'm guessing it, like Universal's video transfer, is an accurate representation of Reiné's intentions, but with so many fundamental flaws, audiophiles will find the experience grating. Dialogue rises and falls as often as dear Mathayus, and prioritization is spotty at best. Voices range from thin and tinny to bright and bold to hollow and distant, sometimes in the span of a single battle scene. The thunder of battle and the roar of magic is suitably supported by the LFE channel and rear speakers, but with little regard to the less bombastic elements in the soundscape. Directionality draws attention but never graduates beyond artificial, pans bobble between smooth and rickety, and dynamics are hit or miss. Again, though, the majority of the mix's shortcomings strike me as a product of haphazard sound design, not a poorly produced lossless track. Ultimately, The Scorpion King 3 somehow manages to sound cheaper than it looks, regardless of how much soundfield pomp and low-end power kick in on occasion.
