Sorry to sound like such a fan boy, but I saw this film 8 times in the cinema, including one very special preview screening where I got to meet Karl Urban, and the original creators of Judge Dredd, Wagner and Ezquerra. I have now bought a 3D TV in readiness for the delivery of this Blu-Ray. Ok, let's put the fan-boy excitement aside for a moment. What has this film got to offer those not familiar with the character of Judge Dredd? The plot of the film is straightforward - set in a future run by a paramilitary police force, two members, a hardened street Judge and a rookie, become trapped in a massive housing block by a ruthless drug lord. They have to use all their wits, training, and luck to survive the day. This simple premise allows for a fantastic character study. Karl Urban plays Judge Dredd, a ruthless, relentless dispenser of justice. The counterbalance to his no-nonsense, kill 'em all demeanour is Judge Anderson. She has failed her academy test, but due to certain abilities useful to the judiciary, she is given a second chance, and placed with Dredd to sit her final test. You see her start green around the gills, and gradually becomes battle hardened throughout the film. She also chips away at Dredd's stony visage, and even though the subsequent shift in his focus is glacial, it's there. It's a good balance, and where the film really succeeds. Also, for any feminists out there, this film passes the Bechdel Test (google it). The simple premise also allows for a fantastic 18 certificate film, harking back to the good old days of Robocop, Total Recall, and Starship Troopers, where excellent storytelling was wrapped up in some seriously bloody visuals. While not neccesarily as OTT as those films, there's no denying Dredd is a violent film. However, in these days of 15 certificate nonsense, where filmakers are desperate to get their output watched by as many as possible, thus diluting any really adult content, it's great to see a return to form - those daring enough to go for a strictly 18+, grown up audience. And it works! The violence is combined with artistry, satire and a very black humour. The 3D element, while it may not be for everyone, is used very well. Certain slow motion sequences, while tied to a very bloody story, are beautiful to watch, and the filmakers have thought very hard about the use of this medium. Does it push the boundaries? Possibly not, but there's no denying a talent for making the most of depth, and finding beauty in the mundane. Definite plus points from me, an advocate of 3D as a veritable visual feast. Dredd 3D was very satisfying in this regard. The film soundtrack is absolutely superb too, a twisted industrial soundscape of beating rhythms and tortured chords. I have had a lot of fun reliving the film purely by listening to such an evocative score. Combined with the sound effects - crunching glass, stomping boots, explosions, gunfire etc etc etc, fans of good audio in cinema will not be disappointed. Dredd's visual feast is accentuated by the aural. Ok, sorry, I have to turn the fan-boy bit back on now: OH MY GOD, KARL URBAN TOTALLY NAILS DREDD!!! Never taking the helmet off (as any 2000AD fan knows, that's how it should be) Urban acts with his body posture and what you can see of his mouth and chin. Such expression, even if it is mostly an angry snarl, contempt, or Dirty Harry style sneers. His voice is gravelly yet authoritarian, and you don't doubt this man is totally in control of his environment. This is Judge Dredd! To summarise, this is a great film for anyone who enjoyed the 80's sci-fi flicks of yesteryear, or pretty much anything by John Carpenter. It's also great for anyone who loves strong female lead characters. If you like your action futuristic, bloody and (dare I say it) intelligent, this is the film for you. And finally, if you have ever read 2000AD or any Judge Dredd comic strip BUY THIS BLU-RAY IMMEDIATELY!!! Review: 10/10 - I just saw this movie and can only say that it's probably one of the best action films i have ever seen - it's certainly the best since the Bourne films. Having read some off putting reviews I decided to go with it anyway. To be fair the negative reviews seemed to focus mainly on the DVD quality which i why i went for the none blu-ray/3D, the quality of which was excellent. First off, if this is a budget film i see no evidence of lack of cash being spent on visuals. Present day street scenes have been used but they look superb, and why not use them? For the look of this particular film the locations and sets are spectacularly gritty. Almost Matrix beating. There are no super space-age shiny uniforms as per the Stallone version. Everything is functional and fits in with this devastated and socially diseased vision of earth. Characters are believable. Karl Urban does for Dredd what Val Kilmer did for Jim Morrison, or what Johnny Depp did for Hunter S Thompson - he IS Dredd! In fact there are no characters that seem out of place here. I particularly enjoyed the portrayal of Ma Ma, gang leader of the Ma Ma clan. This is someone who is a product of Mega City One - corrupted, twisted and scarred by her environment, and have no doubt that this is a sick place. Effects are stunning with the best of being focused around the use of 'Slow-mo', the brand new drug of choice. What i love here is the use of some practical effects. Use of blood and gore goes straight to 11. Judge's weapons are beautifully crafted yet fairly understated. They look like they would actually work. Again, with the budget i fail to see where film makers have been frugal. A lot of reviews point out the anti-climax with Ma Ma ..blah blah blah. Those people fail to understand what life as a Judge in Mega City One is all about. In my opinion this film IS simply a day in the life of a Mega City judge, albeit possibly the hardest Judge of all. This film is not trying to be pretty or to please all. It's an introduction to show what could be possible if somehow a wider audience could be met. Unfortunately the downside with Dredd is that it's likely to become a cult movie because it won't appeal to the main stream. To me that means 'no follow up'. And that is gutting. I just wish that sequels could be made. So much could be done with this world. The stories and characters are already there. Ground has been laid with this first fantastic film. My only advise is that if you appreciate what is going on here you should sell it to others. I don't think Dredd is dead just yet! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 8,151 Reviews | ## Images ![Dredd 4K Ultra HD Region Free - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51xLwAqRasL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It passed the Bechdel test?!?

I don't think Dredd is dead just yet! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Forget the 90's, this is the first proper Dredd film *by A***W on 14 February 2013* Anyone who remembers the first time they bought Judge Dredd to the big screen will know what a train wreck it was. The makers of that film misunderstood what character Dredd was and gave us a film where he takes his helmet off, wisecracks and gets the girl at the end. They didn't capture the grim crime-ridden cesspool that was Mega City One and they gave us comedic relief in the form of Rob Schneider. Thad film was a mash-up of poor action, poor scripting, muddled plot and a complete lack of grit. I don't think it was Sylvester Stallone's fault - he wasn't the right choice for the role. I suspect that a vast number of the people who saw the 90's Dredd may have been put of a new interpretation of the Lawman based on that film. And it's no wonder as the film not only alienated fans of the comic but it also made for a mediocre experience for newcomers. This time we were promised a grittier and more serious take on the material. Dredd would be an uncompromising force waging war on the criminal underbelly of Mega City One. And that's basically what we got. We see Dredd in action pretty much right from the start when a small gang of criminals are driving erratically through traffic whilst under the influence of Slo-Mo - a new drug that lets it users experience a state of euphoria for a few minutes where even the passage of time to have slowed down dramatically for those under the influence. This is the new drug of Mega city One. And so begins what is essentially a day in the life of Mega City One's toughest and most dedicated law man. He is partnered up with a new rookie Judge called Anderson, whom despite having failed her Judges entry exam she is deemed worthy of a final practical assessment due to her strong psychic abilities. As Mega City One is so rife with crime that the Judges cannot respond to every incident they must use their judgement to choose the most serious crime to respond to. Having picked a triple homicide at one of the Mega City Blocks which is run by a crime lord called Ma Ma we get to see the pair in action up against all manner of criminal low lifes who live in the block. After a quick drugs bust on an apartment they find one whom Anderson thinks had a hand in the grisly triple homicide and Dredd decides he needs to be taken in for questioning. It is implied that the questioning process will get answers from him. As they leave the building is placed on complete lockdown, trapping the judges with their suspect inside the block. With no way in or out its a tense fight for survival between the Judges and a small city sized block rife with criminals. Dredd is a very gritty film. The violence levels are almost off the scale (it's comparable to Stallones 2008 Rambo film). The film gives us a visual glimpse of what Slo-Mo users experience leading to one exceptionally graphic gunfight between drug users and the Judges. The films creators have gone a long way to demonstrate how peoples skin and bodies reacts to the impact of gunshots and explosions which may or may not put off a few people. There is also a very high level of implied violence where a vicious act is described and we get a brief bloody flash of it, which makes the film feel even more bloody and violent than it already is. If you're cool with the idea that it's just entertainment and special effects then you'll be okay watching Dredd. The plot of the film is pretty straightforward, with no real surprises or unexpected twists. That suits the film well as it is a character driven story and the main point is that you want to see the Judges in action, not solving some conflicting personal dilemma. Karl Urban gives us the Dredd we should have on-screen. A single minded and dedicated dispenser of justice. There are no shades of grey with Dredd - You're either innocent or guilty and if you're the latter then he's the man to deal with it. He's been doing his job for many years and he's seen it all. We get no character development with Dredd, and nor should we. You can't portray someone who is essentially a single minded hammer of justice as indecisive or prone to whims or compassion. Stallone's take on Dredd started off meaning well but later tried to make him more and more human as the film went on. Karl Urban plays him like Clint Eastwood in one of his early Sergio Leone films, with a gravely, rasping voice to match. And he never takes his helmet off. Judge Anderson is the opposite Dredd's personality. Although she understands the ideal that Dredd personifies in a crime ridden city, she is younger, less experienced and more compassionate. It is through her that we get an introduction to the lives of Judges by being thrown in at the deep end with her. Dredds vast experience gives him an unflinching and emotionless process of decision making when it comes to justice; and no matter how great a character he is I think the film would be less interesting if it just concentrated on him. The character development is wisely focused on the doe eyed Anderson and Olivia Thirlby plays it perfectly. Lena Headey plays the crime lord Ma Ma, an ex-prostitute with a scarred face who has ruthlessly murdered her way to the top of the criminal pile in the block. There is no vanity or Bond Villain genius to this character. Only greed and a similar single minded ruthlessness to Dredds when it comes to decision making. She is where she is because she is always willing to do what's necessary to show who's in charge. Dredd is not a complicated film by any means, but the simplistic plot serves as a perfect vehicle to not only introduce us to the word, but also to give us a quick and effective storyline for plenty of gory action. The gritty, urban setting shows us how far society has fallen with most of the population living in giant slum-like tower blocks. There are too few Judges to deal with the crime and the criminals are more akin to Mexican Cartels than Italian Mafioso, which is why the cold and calculated violent justice that Dredd dispenses never seems to be too far out of place. He is simply the unstoppable and incorruptible force that at times feels absolutely necessary for dealing with the vermin in the city. If you like action films and don't mind plenty of gore then give it a shot - you won't be disappointed. This film is low on one liners, high on adrenaline and doesn't have a dull moment in it. A perfect balance of simple plot and loads of gunfire in the name of entertainment. I've heard talk of this film being very similar to the Indonesian action film The Raid: Redemption. Whilst the plots are remarkably similar, both films feel very different. The Raid has a lot more action and fighting, whilst Dredd is a lot more gorier. It's worth watching the two as they are both fine films but I can't see one being a direct rip off of the other. If you want to make comparisons then another film about someone getting stuck in a building full of criminals is Die Hard, and even that will have it influences in earlier films. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/72644849-dredd-4k-ultra-hd-region-free](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/72644849-dredd-4k-ultra-hd-region-free) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-06-02*
