Sinbad: Series One

Sky's exotic fantasy romp adds a touch of magic to the BBC's Blu-ray line-up...

'Extraordinarily expensive and ambitious' is executive producer Tim Haines' summation of Sky TV's new take on the story of Sinbad. And while it's not without a few hiccups along the way, the series is a glossy and fun fantasy romp packed with all the derring-do, monsters and magic that audiences could hope for. The three-disc BD boxset's lavish AVC 1.78:1 1080i encodes help showcase the sun-drenched Maltese locations and are ably supported by some adventurous and powerful DTS-HD MA 5.1 soundtracks. A trio of featurettes look at the VFX, locations and costumes.
