Review summary

Reviewers praise Sony Pictures Core for excellent video and audio quality and a smooth interface when it runs, but reliability is a major issue. The most cited problems are app loading crashes, login/registration difficulties, and VPN/ISP/connectivity blocks. Users also want more included content and timely updates, and report weak or unresponsive support. Overall, high potential with Sony hardware but significant stability and onboarding problems.

Pros

Excellent picture quality with IMAX Enhanced clarity and Dolby Atmos sound when the app works
Smooth playback and a clean, user-friendly interface on compatible Sony devices
Solid catalog options: 100 included movies for six months plus rentals/buys; cinema-like home viewing

Cons

Frequent loading issues and crashes; app won't load or gets stuck on launch across multiple devices
Account creation/registration and login problems; continuous errors
Connectivity blocks related to VPN/ISP configurations preventing sign-in
Content availability concerns: limited included content and requests for rotating/adding more titles
Poor or unavailable customer support and update issues after December update

2026-04-02	xx*****	It is disappointing. None of the movies are in IMAX DTS. The only one with awesome sound is the IMAX Enhanced demo with IMAX DTS audio, which is the only one with DTS or DTS X audio. Please provide all movies in IMAX DTS (or IMAX DTS:X). Dolby Atmos not compatible with older Sony Bravia and sound awful. please provide IMAX DTS for all movies in Singapore. Please provide Sony picture core for PS5 for Singapore. People uses Sony picture core primary because of the IMAX enhanced audio over DTS, yet none of the movies in Sony picture core are in IMAX enhanced DTS. Between Dolby and DTS, DTS definitely sounds better. Between Dolby Atmos and IMAX DTS, IMAX DTS (or IMAX DTS:X) definitely sounds better.
