I watched Con Air (not Conair of course

) last night and it's also very good PQ, but I would say The Rock is a little better. Just more consistent.

Yeah, it was surprising to see how well Con Air looked.

I've yet to buy Con Air but i'm deffinitly going to pick it up, The Rock looks stunning i got my copy from HMV (im from the uk) and i watched it as soon as i got home, very nice PQ and SQ.

Watched it last night. Excellent audio and picture quality! Question: Is this the original version, not the special edition director's cut that was released a little while ago?

Was wondering the same..

ClaytonMG · 01-10-2008, 04:52 PM

Man on Fire is an extremely, EXTREMELY solid presentation. Every little bit of grain is extremely sharp and well presented. I'd give it a 5/5 for both picture and sound quality. For Con Air, 4/5 for PQ because some of it seems to be slightly washed out and there's the EE problem which isn't THAT intrusive or noticable. The audio I'd probably give a 3.5-4/5 because of the bass being muddy. As for The Rock, I'll need to test that a little more, but from what I tested, it seems like a near 5 star PQ.

It is the theatrical cut (which is better IMO because I hate the stupid score loops they do in these Director's Cuts).

XSilentCobraX · 01-10-2008, 05:00 PM

Con Air really looks like Demo material, i think the picture is very nicely done

lgans316 · 01-11-2008, 01:32 AM

Con Air looks amazing but how come you didn't notice EE/EH ?

jw · 01-14-2008, 04:02 AM

Just watched it, Awesome PQ and sound, good transfer.
It had been a while since I originally watched it so it was almost like watching it all over again

DeeChizzle · 01-14-2008, 04:26 AM

I bought Con Air thinking I'd only watch it once to check out the PQ and then trade it but I was pleasantly entertained and to my surprise my wife enjoyed it as well. It's definitely a silly movie but it has it's moment where you can't help but to laugh.

PQ wise I'd say it's equal to The Rock. Both excellent transfers.

I have the unrated cut on DVD and I have recently picked up the BD edition. I watched both recently and I cannot find the difference between the two. Maybe I rip the bong too hard to notice but could someone please enlighten me on the differences so I dont double dip sometime in the future?

Grisle · 01-19-2008, 02:34 AM

You don't want to double dip just to be in HD?

Whytewash · 01-19-2008, 02:41 AM

oh I already bought Con Air in Blu... I am just wondering if the double dip will be worth it when they come out with an unrated cut on BD.

I cant tell the difference and I was just wondering if anyone else could find what was different in the two titles.

I think just one release on BD for Con Air......just my guess though

bkbluray · 01-19-2008, 03:55 AM

I'm guessing they won't be releasing an unrated cut. It will be so incredibly similar to the R rated version that most people wouldn't be able to tell the difference.

The only Blu movies I can see releasing again are ones that have a lot of extended scenes, such as T2.

um, the blu ray version is in high definition? yeah, that is the point of the format, not to release different versions!

The same could have been said of DVD and the double dips/triple dips kept on coming out. As for the difference between the two versions I couldn't tell either and i Had both versions on dvd.
