This was a excellent HD Transfer on the HD-DVD with plenty of features. Should be just as good (if not better) on Blu-Ray. The only downside is that the DTS track was in 6.1 ES, which isn't supported by any HD-DVD players and very few Blu-Ray players support this track (this matters if you are using PCM sound through HDMI). Most Blu-Ray players make the jump from DTS Core Audio to HD High Resolution and HD Master Audio with nothing in between. Don't be discouraged though, cause it still sounds great down-mixed to 5.1. Highly recommend switching from the DVD version to this HD version. The quality is great and a definite improvement over the DVD releases.
May 30, 2008 |  | Forget politics -- this is a great film to have! |  |
While I don't think this is a five star movie (probably a solid three or four) something has to be done to balance out the idiots who are posting lower ratings for this excellent film solely based on their dislike of Paramount (who has finally come over to blu like everyone else).
So -- if you want this film, buy it on BD because it is available (it's actually already in stores but Amazon has a weird idea not to make it available until June 3). It's a very good film, terrific action, and the pic quality and sound should be excellent (read the reviews of it on regular DVD to get a better idea).
May 23, 2008I dont know why these people are crying but the movie is out on BLU RAY now. Paramount has swithed to Blu Ray and will start releasing films on BLU RAY. I Allready own it and its great
May 22, 2008 | | Woo makes a great "Face Off" | |
I've not been too pleased with some of John Woo's American films as compared to the HK movies he did formerly but this one is a rare exception. Free of studio tampering, "Face Off" is a tour de force for the director and the two lead actors, Travolta & Cage. I've seen this on Standard def than I rented the HD DVD version and what a difference!! If you want someone to notice the advantages of Hi-Def over standard, play them this disc! The visuals have a depth of field unequalled to none (maybe Batman Begins perhaps) and the sonics are out of this world to boot! I am definitely buying a copy of this in HD DVD before they're gone. I recommend this to owners of HD DVD machines as well.
May 21, 2008| | | Great Picture + Great Movie | |
With a cast of John Travolta and Nicholas Cage, you won't find a movie full of more action and suspense. This movie has a very unique story that will keep you coming back for more. The HD Picture is amazing. You can definitely tell they took the time to go back over to make the picture as clear as possible. A+ in my book, although I'm a big Travolta & Cage fan.
