The Condemned... good or bad? Worth it or not? - Blu-ray Forum

NoQuestion · 09-19-2007, 12:43 AM

Alright so i went out today and bought
Troy
Alexander
We Are Marshall
A few Good Men
Kung Fu Hustle
Big Fish

But i was wondering if The Condemned was any good, or worth a purchase. If it is when i go back this weekend i will pick it up along with deliverence and maybe one or two other movies i dont have yet

I just finshed watching it PQ/SQ where great and the movie was good

miked924 · 09-19-2007, 01:06 AM

And in a blu ray first (as far as I've seen) it actually has one of those annoying cardboard slipcovers that I used to throw out that came on DVDs. Haven't seen it yet but looking forward to watching it one day this week

Thanks for the info. I purchased the movie today, and plan on watching it on Friday. Lionsgate never dissapoints in their PQ and AQ.

Actually several have the cardboard slipcase. POTC 1 and 2 and a few others do as well.

Oh well, first one I've bought...never picked up potc 1 or 2

The following have slipcovers:

Crank (Lions Gate)
The Condemned (Lions Gate)
Daddy's Little Girls (Lions Gate)
Employee Of The Month (Lions Gate)
Happily N'Ever After (Lions Gate)
Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl (Disney)
Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest (Disney)
Saw III (Lions Gate)

Then there's of course the TV series, compilations, odd and ends, etc, like Royal Space Force - The Wings of Honnêamise or Planet Earth, Discovery Atlas, M:I et al that have their own boxes/slipcover things

TruBlu2 · 09-19-2007, 01:45 AM

It has the 7.1 uncompressed audio. We also need to support LionsGate. Bottomline: The flick is worthy.

powerSURG · 09-19-2007, 01:45 AM

I was surprised by this movie. Lionsgate has really done well lately, but the WWE films part had me concerned. I actually rented it from Netflix but I'm thinking about purchasing it.

NoQuestion · 09-19-2007, 01:55 AM

just saw the bd & it was good, PQ EX SQ EX it even has 7.1 DTS-HD MA

aristotles · 09-19-2007, 02:39 AM

Awesome picture quality so far.

It is a a VC-1 encode but it is high bitrate and goes above 40Mbps a few times.

I'm watching it now on my PS3 and the TV in my sig. At least it is a higher bit rate than HD DVD could ever support.

B-Runner · 09-19-2007, 02:55 AM

LoL I Went To Wal-Mart Earlier Today To Find Out Steve Austin Was Gonna be There To Do A DVD Signing. Sucks Im At Work As He Was My Fav Wrestler When I Was Younger

DetroitSportsFan · 09-19-2007, 03:22 AM

It's a better film than I thought it would be.

aristotles · 09-19-2007, 04:19 AM

Would this be one of the highest VC-1 encodes to date? During a chase scene, I saw the total bitrate ( audio and video combined I'm assuming) hit over 47Mbps which is damn near the 48.0 Mbit/s maximum for blu-ray. There was a lot of foliage in front of the characters around that point.

I am not a big WWE film fan. The WWE actors are lame. The best one was The Rundown, which was by Universal tough.
