Quality
Marvel Studios Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2. looks fantastic on Blu-Ray and Digital HD download. This is a movie I saw opening night in theaters. Returning to watch it again on my television was a very pleasant experience. The quality of the colors, effects, and digital scenery were beautiful. I actually found this to be even more enjoyable to watch at home than in the theaters. The sound design that accompanied this movie also was fantastic. Put them both together along with a really fun movie and this was a very fun review experience.
