Transporter 2 (Blu-ray)

The presentation is the reason to check out this release far more than the film. The 18mbs MPEG-2 encoding looks almost flawless.

Another great Blu-ray presentation by Fox.

I just love that it is a DTS HDMA film with MPEG-2 on a BD-25!

They said it couldn't be done.

"They" have said a lot of rubbish that I enjoy watching get dashed down day after day.

Zvi · 12-21-2006, 10:54 PM

Cool. I have it preordered. Good entertainment

WriteSimply · 12-22-2006, 12:06 AM

Well the movie is shorter than the original. So that's probably why it's do-able.

I like the first one better though.

I gotta agree with Chad's review of the movie itself though. Way too cheesy for me. I saw it in the theater with my friends, and I was totally let down, especially since I thought the first one was pretty good. How he got the bomb off the car was just so lame, lol.
Though its still great news that the Blu-ray came out good. I don't even have to worry about quality issues anymore.

KenThompson · 12-22-2006, 08:50 PM

Im picking this one up on Boxing Day. Need some new eye candy for new sxrd just bought. I do agree the first Transporter was better but I still gotta have em both.

ProvenFlipper · 12-23-2006, 03:36 AM

It just kills Peter to give a BD 5 stars... It's becoming quite comical. I might have to pick this one up... Depends on what is under the tree on Monday.

Blackraven · 12-23-2006, 04:41 AM

Jason Statham alone makes the movie "sell" already.

That guy is the man

GTP · 12-30-2006, 03:18 PM

This movie is a definite reference disc.....and so is the Descent...which has the very best looking dark lit scenes I have ever seen....if you don't mind pools of blood.

IamAnoobieCheez · 12-31-2006, 01:41 AM

somebody please enlighten me. I thought 18 Mbps is suppose to be not so good for video quality. I thought 30~ 40 Mbps suppose to be the bomb for ultimate picture.... Aren't all BD movies are encoded in MPEG2? I didn't know there are other types of video files they use for BD. Explain plz..

jorg · 12-31-2006, 02:05 AM

the bit rate only matter to an extent

its most the convershun of film to disc
and bd movies are know being encoded in all sorts of ways

Deciazulado · 12-31-2006, 10:55 AM

Blu-ray discs can use: MPEG-2, VC-1, and AVC/H.264/MPEG-4 Part 10 (<- Those last three is 3 different names for the same codec); up to 40 Mb/s video rate.

(And on the audio side, they can use: Linear PCM, all Dolby variations, and all DTS variations; up to 7.1 channels)

KenThompson · 12-31-2006, 10:19 PM

Doesn't matter what codec is used, if it looks great thats all that matters. Transporter 2 is indeed reference, and it had the wow factor. Would use it to show off to friends without hesitation.

Thanks for the info, Deciazulado.

Glad I found this thread. I noticed these BD's at Wally World the other day but didn't get them because the back stated 18Mbps. I compared this to IRobot which stated like 36Mbps and got confused. Everyone says how great IRobot looks so I thought, there's no way TR 1 and 2 look good. Came here, read, BAM! Now I can go buy these for $10 each!
