That's a good way to put it. It's typical Warner PQ.

I thought it was a great PQ/AQ movie.. one of the very few 7.1 audio ones anyways..

Definite demo material AQ wise for some of the scenes.. holy god.. I had to turn down my receiver.. my front speaker nearly fell off the damn stand

I am waiting on my pre-order, overall what did you think of the actual movie? I have heard a lot of mixed reviews

This is out on HD-DVD as well, I assume?

Saw it at my Wal-Mart for $30 - but was waiting to hear reviews on its PQ/AQ on this site before I gave it a buy; thankfully Monsieur Vette has this thread up already.

Isn't this a New Line title? I think the HD DVD version is scheduled for later in the year (with no specific date as of yet)

Yes, that's the insider way of telling them that they are screwed!

I think this will be a movie that you either like it or hate it, no in between. I really liked the movie and happy to see a 7.1 audio track. Gun shots everywhere!

As someone pointed out, it's from Warner (New Line) so I think again we are getting the "good enough" transfer for HD-DUD instead of the transfers we get with Disney, Fox and Sony.

It's hard for any of us to rate BD's here, because some may think it's great while others can live with it. It really depends on the reference material (BD's) that we all use to compare it to. I think about the newest Fox movies and Disney POTC's and work backwards. If someone was comparing this movie (PQ) to say Hitch, XXX and Tomb Raider, then this BD would be a 5/5.

Let's hope that Warner/New Line puts a more time into their transfers when they go Blu exclusive.
