Blow - Blu-ray Forum

The Don · 09-24-2008, 01:40 AM

Has anyone read a review of this or have a link to a site that has reviewed it?...

I purchased it, but didn't open...so if the transfer is crap, I'll likely take it back and wait for it to be transferred properly...

edit: I should have noticed that there is no PCM or TrueHD audio track

.....I should have read the back..

alexakajeff · 09-24-2008, 01:43 AM

Nope, I don't think anything has been heard yet.

pothead420 · 09-24-2008, 02:08 AM

I Got it and just watched. I'd give it about a 3.5/5 for Video and while I don't have surround sound, my tv supports all hd audio (Blow does have Dolby True HD)so maybe a 4.0/5 for that.

the back of the box says Dolby Digital 5.1

but you're definitely sure it has a Dolby TrueHD track?

pothead420 · 09-24-2008, 02:10 AM

Yes I have a PS3 and hit display then Audio and Dolby True HD came up. Plus it shows in Audio set up on the pop up menu

dabouck5 · 09-24-2008, 02:10 AM

it states on this site that it has TrueHD. I don't own it but im just stating that fact. I was thinking about buying it too, so hopefully it actually does.
edit: well nvm then guess it really does.

Yes the back cover is a well known misprint.

I wish I knew about it ahah....and the PQ being "3.5" is fine by me as I still can see a strong difference between the DVD and a Blu that is 3.5 in PQ

NJ_RAMS_FAN · 09-24-2008, 02:16 AM

i'll be buying this one. good movie..

Elbie · 09-24-2008, 02:22 AM

I bought it on Amazon and used the wrong shipping. Instead of using my 2 day prime I used standard.

KingBing · 09-24-2008, 02:24 AM

I want this movie so bad!! Even if the PQ is not top notch I will def buy this weekend since i sold my DVD version years ago but would LOVE some reviews at least. Same goes for shrek the third

JasonR · 09-24-2008, 02:24 AM

Popped it in already today. Looks very good!!! Wish it had some lossless on that rockin' soundtrack though...

Video - 4/5
Audio - 3.5/5

NoQuestion · 09-24-2008, 02:25 AM

I was just shocked that the Digital Copy worked on iTunes, its like they are picking and choosing which DC is iTunes compatible. I guess it goes along with the picking and choosing which movies have HD sound.

It IS Lossless. How many times do people have to post that a TrueHD track is included?

Sorry, must have missed it. I will have to sit down and give it a closer viewing on the TrueHD track then.

It defaults to the DD...

JasonR · 09-24-2008, 03:57 AM

Ya know, this is probably the best Warner I have viewed to date. The opening is way overblown, past that it is beautiful....

QuasidodoJr · 09-24-2008, 06:44 AM

I'm glad to hear positive impressions. I will pick this up, tomorrow. I've already got Risky Business and L.A. Confidential on the way, from Amazon.

The Don · 09-24-2008, 12:39 PM

after hearing about the audio track, I opened it up and popped it in.....

definitely worth the pickup....a great flick made even better
