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.

Fast & Furious to be first major theatrical release with D-BOX

When you're on, you're on. After notching its best ever quarter in terms of sales, D-BOX has just landed yet another huge win. Universal Pictures' Fast & Furious -- which is slated to ignite a new generation of street racers who compete for gas money rather than pink slips -- will be the first major theatrical feature release with the company's Motion Code technology written in. 'Til now, Motion Code had been mostly restricted to at-home films and video games, but now moviegoers who can find a D-BOX-equipped cinema can enjoy this film while feeling all the vibrations and rumbles as the engines rev and the egos flair. Something tells us this kind of occurrence will only get more and more common.

'Tokyo Drift' gets a date and 'The Break-Up' is announced for HD DVD

We promise that this will be the last post about any Fast and Furious flick till one of 'em is released. Cool? Tokyo Drift has finally been given a data and will release with The Break-Up on September 26. This also happens to be the same day that their normal DVD counterparts are released. The films are going to be both in 2.35:1 widescreen and of course in 1080p. There isn't much else to report except the The Break-Up is going to have a MSRP of $39.95 but we are sure that it will retail for less when it hits the streets.
