The Arthur the King Blu-ray is now available following the film’s theatrical release earlier this year. Based on the remarkable true story of adventure racer, the film is an inspirational drama about the bond between man and dog and what really matters in life.
Admittedly, I am a dog owner and clearly the intended audience for Arthur the King, as I was captivated from start to finish. The film has really strong performances by not only Wahlberg and the supporting cast but also its canine thespian named Ukai. The dog and the crew did a wonderful job of imbuing the movie with a ton of heart, making the dog appear as a stray struggling with infections and then going on an incredible journey with the adventure racers that it follows.
While the drama of getting Arthur home is ultimately at the heart of the film, the actual adventure racing provides plenty of thrills. This is a physically intensive film as the actors had to climb, hike, bike, zipline, and kayak in its many racing scenes. A few action set pieces really stand out, serving as strong high points with some really striking shots of the Dominican Republic where the film was shot.
One of the coolest parts of the Arthur the King Blu-ray is that it includes not one, not two, but three commentary tracks. Considering it is becoming an increasing rarity for commentary tracks to be included on home releases, it is great to see such care and for there to be multiple ones.
There are also over 25 minutes of bonus featurettes included, plus a dog rescue PSA and its trailer. The first featurette, “Finding Arthur,” is a lovely nine-minute video about Ukai and the dog’s performance, showcasing just how talented the animal is. Additionally, “A Love Letter to Arthur” is a five-minute video about Lindnord and the true story, while “A Dog’s Journey” is an 11-minute making-of feature with some great behind-the-scenes footage.
