Fast & Furious Blu-ray Trilogy reviewed, D-BOX shines

by Darren Murph posted Mar 26th 2009 at 11:02AM

The new Fast & Furious, not to be confused with the old Fast & Furious, is all set to become the first major theatrical release with D-BOX baked in. And as TheHDRoom points out, these movies were just born to be felt as well as watched. When reviewing the trilogy on Blu-ray, they found these discs immediately among their favorite D-BOX discs. More specifically, they noted that the sensation was strong and engrossing throughout, especially when cars were changing gears -- though they did confess that Tokyo Drift suffered from jolts that were just too faint to really enjoy. Of course, you'd have to be the world's biggest F&F fan to let this trio of flicks convince you to pick up one of those pricey D-BOX motion chairs, but if you're leaning that way, give the read link a look beforehand.

As disturbing as your name is, I'm glad you pointed out the difference.

...seems like this would make a lot more sense if a few months when you can release the upcoming movie in the set.

Woah... this sounded really cool until... $5k ?!?! That's some serious dough to be dropping nowadays.

Note: Obviously--but just in case--my comment was toward the D-BOX, not the Blu-Ray release!

$5K is actually good for this technology. I have a D-Box system (controller and two loveseats with built-in actuators) and retail on my set up was well over $20,000.00. Once you experience D-Box, you just want it for every movie. It is the single biggest advancement to home theater and is the main reason I quit going to commercial cinemas. Now when my local cinemas add D-Box, I'll have a reason to go back. And no I don't work for them :)
