Presented in an aspect ratio of 2.40:1, encoded with MPEG-4 AVC and granted a 1080p transfer, The Three Musketeers: Milady arrives on Blu-ray courtesy of Entertainment in Video (EIV).
The entire film looked gorgeous on my system. Many of the wider panoramic vistas, in particular, had a borderline 4K quality. Yes, it is possible that the entire film looks even better in native 4K, but I cannot see how anyone can be underwhelmed or disappointed with the quality of the 1980p presentation. Delineation, clarity, and depth are fantastic, while fluidity is as good as I think it can be. Color reproduction is lovely as well. There is a lot of darker content with various excellent primaries and supporting nuances, and all of this material boasts terrific shadow detail, too. Image stability is outstanding. I did not see any encoding anomalies to report in our review. (Note: This is a Region-B "locked" Blu-ray release. Therefore, you must have a native Region-B or Region-Free player in order to access its content).
There is only one standard audio track on this Blu-ray release: French DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1. English subtitles are provided but they are forced. This means that they cannot be turned off via the main menu.
The lossless track handles the film's rich soundtrack incredibly well. There is a lot of large-scale action, rich music, and surround effects that sound great. Perhaps this should not be surprising, but I was quite impressed by the dynamic range of the lossless track and the easiness with which it handled everything. The English translation is excellent. On this release, the English subtitles are slightly bigger and easier to read as well.
Unfortunately, there are no bonus features on this release.
Like the first film, this film produces some pretty visuals, but it does not treat the original material from Alexandre Dumas' classic novel with the proper respect. It changes and adds new characters, it fabricates events, and, perhaps unsurprisingly, it mishandles the complex game of intrigues that is at the center of the great story about the musketeers. It very much feels like a recent Hollywood project, which is definitely not a good thing. However, the entire film looks fantastic on Blu-ray.
