I, Robot. That fits your criteria, which looks and sounds absolutely amazing in every regard. I think you'll enjoy the DTS HD 5.1 Master Lossless, and the 1080p/AVC encode is reference quality in every sense of the word.

Amazing transfer, and a great film to show off on your system.

Pan's Labyrinth looked good but there where some scenes not on par with other scenes in the movie. For example some of the blacks towards the end of the movie in the cave looked terrible. PQ on the movie was good but unconsitant.

I robot looked incredible throught the entire movie, I say by far one of the best for both PQ and SQ.

It's a while off, but I think that 'Iron Man' is going to kick the complete crap out of everything imaginable!!! I saw a digital print, digitally projected at the theatre Thursday night... Blu-ray quality on a bigger than big screen!

I think that they both look good, but I think that I, Robot looks better.

Yeah, I was going to originally say Ratatouille or Cars, before I noticed that he specified action movies only. Bummer, as those two movies are amongst my very favorite in my collection.

If I may, why not show off a recent CGI Movie? They look amazing on bluray.

If not, Live Free or Die Hard is probably one of my favorite BluRay Discs to show off.

It might not have CGI robots and explosions, but it IS a shitty movie.
