For anyone out there who just got "Untraceable" on Blu-ray, could you tell me if the PQ and AQ is worth a Blu-ray purchase? Thanks!

I got it from netflix on tuesday when it came out. I think it is worth a
Blu purchase. The AQ and PQ is about a 4.5. there is a review on the front home page.

Yeah, I saw that already. I'm just trying to get a second opinion.

And there is mine. I liked the AQ and PQ. Not alot of sounds going on in that movie though

owa · 05-18-2008, 12:58 AM

I thought the PQ and SQ were good (maybe 4/5 for both). It's a little hard to judge the PQ though. It looks like they toned down the colors for effect. Overall though, I was satisfied with the PQ/SQ and enjoyed the movie. It was actually much better than I expected.

Edit: Oh, I guess I didn't answer the question. I'm happy with the purchase but I'm not sure what to recommend as far as buying it. Since it's a thriller, once you know how it turns out, it probably won't be quite as "thrilling" on repeat viewings. Also, it looks like their intent was to make it somewhat dreary/gloomy looking so it's not really flashy enough to use for demo material (imo of course).

Having said that, if I had rented it first, I still would have ended up purchasing it. In other words, I liked it enough that I'd want it as part of my collection.

I have it from Netflix downstairs but haven't seen it yet.

Caligula · 05-18-2008, 03:15 PM

I liked it, MY WIFE enjoyed this movie the most because of Mrs. Lane

joshie · 05-18-2008, 11:47 PM

I would say that the blu-ray is a 4/5 in PQ and AQ. I liked the movie but isnt replayable for me.

Ice2Dragon · 05-19-2008, 12:16 AM

Its a rental at best.. its not worth rewatching.. the ending is laughable though -_-V Be forwarned..

Blu Titan · 05-19-2008, 12:19 AM

I rented the BD from Blockbuster and it was an entertaining film. My wife was raving about it. A worthwhile watch.

kr00k · 05-19-2008, 03:08 AM

Worth 1 good watch decent flick but I won't be digging in my stash to watch it anytime soon.

masob98 · 05-19-2008, 03:33 AM

I rented this from blockbuster. Definately worth at least 1 watch, but that's about it. I thought the PQ wasn't all that good. The movie itself to me was entertaining.

ganthc · 05-19-2008, 04:34 AM

It was a good thriller, with 4/5 ratings for PQ/AQ like others have said. The director shot the movie in a bleak setting, so all the colors are muted and the scenery is drab. But it was kind of going for "The Ring" type look. Still, it was a clean picture. The Dolby TrueHD track was extremely lean and efficient, probably averaging about 1.7mbps, but still delivering an immersive experience.

There are points in the film, where the dialogue is very bad. I felt bad for the actors as they had to deliver the lines, and I could almost see on their faces that they weren't into it. That said, there are some good thrills in this and Diane Lane is always nice to watch. If you are a horror fan, there are some great and creative kill scenes in this too. Not sure if it was worth buying, but it was a blind buy for me. I would say rent it, and if you enjoy it then buy it. I don't regret the blind buy though.

i bought it, it's a good flick....I'll watch it soon.....though the fact a didn't
watch it right away says something

Bailey05 · 05-19-2008, 10:46 AM

Pq 4/5
Aq 4/5

Mr. Cinema · 05-19-2008, 11:01 AM

I had rented it from BB online and liked it enough to go out and buy it. Walmart had it for $24.99. The video quality is very good. I don't have a HDMI receiver yet, but the DD 5.1 audio was still good. So the TrueHD should be awesome.

This one also has a picture-in-picture feature, which I will try out soon. I think most of the extras are in HD.

MacDaddyOJack · 05-19-2008, 11:18 AM

I got it on release day from Netflix. The movie was kinda lame in my opinion though.
