Taken BD

Watched it last night and thought it was pretty good. It is a bit Bourne-esque in the focus of the main character and action and that is not a bad thing. It is a bit slow at first as it introduces the characters, but once it gets going it maintains a good level. Video and audio quality are top notch (dts-HD MA), though there was little in the way of extras. It is a well done popcorn flick and enjoyable and though it isn't one of the best action films I've seen, it is worth a rental for sure.

I bought this and watched it at my buddies house on is 52inch Samsun (120hz).

I both need, and refuse 120Hz. It looks soo good, the movie looks fake.

Yeah, it was alright. Just temper the expectations. Mm. I thought the story was pretty thin. It was sort of like a watered down Bourne for older people, or at least old enough to have a grown daughter.

Are you sure it IS the 120hz? Frame rate is a completely different thing than Frame Interpolation. On the Samsung that's called something like AMP, auto motion plus. There are at least three settings I believe.

That algorithm will try to fake new frames in-between the 24 given to you every second.

The main benefit of 120hz is that 3:2 pullldown is no longer needed for 24p. (just a 5:5).

Yes 100% sure. It has some sort of True Motion thing. It made everything thing look fake, meaning, you could tell it was a movie set it was so realistic.
