-- Count of Monte Cristo - SCREENER - Centropy (http://www.vcdhq.com/forum/showthread.php?threadid=343)

i don't know what you all are complaining about, this is the best looking TS I think I've ever seen. The picture is excellence. Yes, it maybe bright sometimes, but it's not like it ruins the movie. It's a TS, not an SVCD DVD screener. My only complaint is the tag at the beginning, but at least they didn't watermark the movie itself, not that anyone does. Many props to Centropy.

I'll second that ....

Gotta agree with Frazzman and the Diggler. I have numerous Centropy releases and they are always top quality but on this release they screwed up the aspect ratio. It looks like they were trying to crop the sides to make the picture a little bigger and wound up distorting it in the process. The picture looks somewhat compressed vertically (like in a funhouse mirror), making everyone look shorter and wider than normal. If they can crop the sides a little to get a bigger picture without any distortion, I'm all for it. If they can't get rid of this distortion, then they need to go back to their standard ws releases. There are also a couple of scenes that are so bright that the picture totally washed out. I saw the movie in the theater and those scenes looked fine, so the problem was apparently caused by their camera. I hope Centropy gets back to the quality of their prior releases because I’m normally one of their biggest fans.

Smoking Crack

Whoever contributed to rating this above a 7 is smoking something. The picture had the telltale Telesync blue, it blew out to white in hot spots, the sync was off, and overall it was just a very mediocre copy. I wouldn't give it more than a 5. Don't waste your time on this one.

A little bright at times, blue tint throughout, otherwise its a pretty darn good release. The picture isn't blurry, and the sound is good enough. Its not beautiful, but definitely watchable. The rating of seven and a half is about right. Last thing, regarding the above posts, how can anyone take bootlegs so seriously? If you want drama watch a soap opera.
