Xxx [Blu-ray]

This is a great movie. I am very happy to complete my blu ray collection of the series.

I got this version to upgrade the original Blu-Ray release of this title, which was really a half-effort by Sony to get releases out the door (MPEG2 encoding, 16bit PCM audio). It was "fine" but really wasn't representative of the Blu-Ray format. This is a good bandwidth H264 release, with a good DTS-HD soundtrack, and is definitely an improvement over the original release.

Received on time as expected.

They sent wrong version...So im probably not the only one, but my copy from Amazon was the old movie (2002) even though it was clearly labled as the anniversary edition here. I noticed this movie has same product page for anniversary and 2002 version only later on. So for anyone reading to be clear im only focusing on the anniversary edition and its improvements, not really much of the movie itself. I attached pictures of diff between original (2002) and the anniversary edition, which I had to buy from Best Buy.Context on 2002 versionJust for some short context the last time I played this movie (2002) was around launch of PS3, this was actually one of my first bluray movies, next to talladega nights. Fast foward to 2017, I get a new soundbar to test the 2002 version out like a newb, not knowing anything about audio formats like dolby or dts. And immediately felt underwhelmed, expecting the punchy bass of the rammstein intro to blast through my soundbar with immersion that simply wasn't there. So I did some research and found the 2002 version to be a half baked port like alot of blurays at the time introduced to push the bluray formats library count. It plays a standard stero sound (PCM) w/ no immersion whatsoever, sligthly higher visual fidelity then dvd, but with not much else going for it.15th AnniversaryLater on that same day later I stumble onto the review on bluraydotcom of the anniversary edition after reading up on the diff audio formats. I finally found what I was looking for and ordered it on the spot. 1 day of prime shipping later I pick it up, open it and find the same 2002 version I already own inside. I quickly filed for a return, and went to BestBuy which coincidentally had actual anniversary edition for about the same price.SoundQuickly put it in my PS4 and let it play, Fire at Will(feuer frei) booms in the intro of movie and fills up room w/ serious bass. Instant night and day difference. Even scenes with multiple things going on have distinct and clear audio, loud, but not drowning the other action on screen. Vin Diesels dialogue sounds that much better as well. Because his voice is naturally deeper it kicked up bass from my subwoofer and made him louder and more clear then other actors, lol.Video QualityNot much changes, its more of a slight bump in sharpness, skin on characters looks clear and more HD..ish.ExtrasN/AVeredictFor a remastered edition, this is definetly worth buying again if you already own 2002 version. The movie overall is very much dated in plot and replayability, outside of soundtracks. Its fun as an over the top action movie and not much else. But, if your into audio(or Rammstein) its definetly a reference piece for your home theatre or if u just have a really nice soundbar :)P.S: I havent finished everything in new edition, just wanted to get review of main movie out, might add detail about extras in the movie later. Also, for reference my soundbar is Sony MT300.

Love this movie. Has a great plot, intense action, Vin Diesel, cool effects and awesome weaponry. Can't wait to see the newest one, "XXX: Return of Xander Cage".

Great movie

I remember asking my grandpa for money. So, I could watch this by myself because I was thirteen at the time. Non stop action.

All out great movie. Great cast and plenty of action.
