Infernal Affairs Trilogy

[Stingercjc]

I was checking out DDDHouse.com and I noticed that the Infernal Affairs Trilogy was on their main page with a May 20th release date. Price is 70 US dollars (plus about 6-10 for shipping).

Has anyone seen the movies? Is it worth the money?

I watched the first one recently and enjoyed it. If youve seen the departed with Jack Nicholson you know what to expect really.

I have seen all three and thought all were pretty good but the first one was the best for me and I prefer it to the Departed though I think it is good as well.

But if you are unsure about the entire box set, just buy the first one and go from there.

What's DDDHouse? And more importantly, are they a legit business?

Rather cheap place to buy blu's from Hong Kong. I recently bought 6 movies from there and they are all legit.

Very legit. I've been importing movies from there for years and years.

[Stingercjc]

Thanks for the input everyone. I'll probably watch the first one and go from there.

[Caligula]

Yeh the departed was basically Based off infernal affairs according to Scorsese.

The Hong Kong production company is in the Departed credits. It's a remake of it

DDDHouse is completely on the up and up. Been dealing with them for at least 6-7 years. Shipping is really cheap and it gets here in a week

Recieved IA 2 and 3 yesterday and had a quick look. Keep your expectations low ladies and gents. Low bitrate AVC shows soft, DVNR'd and EE'd images with little fine detail. They barely justify their existence in the Blu realm thanks to excellent 6.1 DTS-HD MA sound (worth the upgrade alone for me), although the picture does satisfy the better-than-DVD minimum. It just doesn't go very far beyond it.

Artistic intent is an unlikely culprit here, the DVNR and EE scream 'video'. If I had to guess I'd say they're older HD masters from back when these films came out and were first transferred to DVD. HK has made great strides in their DVD production in the last few years, but they're not quite up to the highest standard and were even less so a few years back. Transferred to Blu these masters show their overzealous tuning for SD and lack of definition.

More recent films like Protege or Invisible Target feature much improved definition but still retain the noise reduction and EE problems. 1 down, 1 to go. Wonder when they'll get out of the squeaky clean phase that gives every recent HK movie on Blu the lovely texture of smooth baby butt. I'm glad they're putting these out there now, and I'm buying to show it, but it's becoming clear that new transfers will have to be done even for recent stuff to get the most out of high-def.

Well, at least IA1 is supposed to be good

[X400]

thanks for the heads up, ordering now



disappointed that they're not of great PQ but i wasnt expecting much




edit: IA2 is good too (some ppl say they like it more than 1 i cant understand that though), 3 puts an end to the film well.. people didnt really like it because they found it too confusing

[almo89]

Interesting how IA2 and 3 will have DTS HD MA and the first one will only have PCM uncompressed

I have the US trilogy and I love it! I will definitely buy this or unless, it's also getting a US release?

IA I is a Miramax release and IA II & III are Weinstein, so they will most likely not be released any time soon, and will be probably be released far apart from one another.

Damn that's true, Weinstein isn't even in the blu-ray game yet. I guess I'll beef out the cash and buy the import blu-ray trilogy.
