Good release

A bit late but oh well. I just wanted to say that the glitches really arent that bad. If you added them all up they would only amount to about 1 minute. They dont take away from the movie or ruin it.

Sound: Good for a TS, a little low, but no problems really 7
Video: Good, picture is straight, a little greyish 7
Movie: Movie was good for taking place in a phone booth, heh. 8

Great release, the audio is good. The movie is AMMAZZING!
8/8/10

wow, this movie blew me away.

It's not the best movie I've seen, however based on the previews I saw, I expected it to be absolutely terrible.

The ESO release is definitely good enough. The sound might be a little hollow, but in a movie that relies almost entirely on voice, that's not a problem.

The glitches on CD2 are annoying, but they definitely do not make the movie "unwatchable". There is one glitch toward the end of the movie that is a bit frustrating, because it occurs right at a very climactic point, however it's still easy to tell what happened.

Even with the glitches, I'd gladly take a release of this caliber over three quarters of the "telesync"s out there.

7/8/9

This one resembles the Dreamcatcher ts a lot, not very colourful but good video, sound is very hollow but audible. cd2 is littered with annoying sound and video fuckups, but its tolerable. As for the movie, it KICKED ASS.

Worst movie ever!!! F'n horrible. Had people over to watch it, the movie had so many flaws.

GREAT RELEASE THOUGH! Fast, uber-early! Excellent quality.

7/7/3

Wow! Great flick. Quality is a little dark, but good quality. I'll probably go see it again in theaters and take all my friends with me.

Nothing fantastic ,here but very watchable and considering this movie dont hit until april 4th,and its free ,video just a little grainy,and audio a little hollow but hey im not complaining.Good job esocetric!thanks

good movie,
picture is pretty good little dark though. sound is barable but tinny and can get distorted when lotta ppl are shouting i.e hooker scene.

BUT the worst thing about this is there is a glitch that happend right at the most tence and critical part of this movie. i had no picture only sound for it... i had some issues with dling it so that might have casued it...but i dunno... it just freezes on a picture of a building in the last few scenes of this movie... did ne one else get this???

Talking Amazing movie..

Like most people said, the glitches are kinda annoying, but very watchable. The movie is amazing, only problem as said before is one of the glitches happens at a very climactic scene. Sound was good, a tiny bit scratchy at one point but I'm assuming it was my shitty speakers


Posted by huntdubie on 03-18-2003 05:56 PM:

keifer sutherland is tight

audio glitches at various parts of the movie. nothing that gets really annoying tho

Thumbs down Phonebooth

Good Movie but the second CD was messed up with glitches. Movie is watchable but glitches are annoying as hell.

6/7/8.6


Posted by joellyjoel on 03-22-2003 07:08 PM:

The glitches unfortunately do get more frequent at the more defining moments--I assume it's the higher intensity of the camera/actor motions. Keifer starts sounding like he's TOTALLY losing it, spewing and choking up and gurgling, and starts sounding like the Mars Attacks aliens. It does smooth out before things get anywhere near unbearable. Also kind of funny, with the subdued colors, when he's standing against bright colors doesn't Forrest Whittaker look kind of like he's in black and white?

I thought the movie was badass... Few glitches, not that annoying.... Little dark..

Video - 6.5 - Good quality, Little dark
Audio - 6 - Some parts couldn't make out what saying, other than that decent..
Movie - 8 - Although it didn't seem that this movie would be hard to make, I thought it was good.

Pretty good RLS for ESOTeric...

I watched this movie twice and I just wish I could count on all Telsysnc's coming out like this one. Thank God my Pioneer DVD player was able to handle the glitches on CD2 with very little interrruption. Yeah - It was just a little annoying, but very watchable.... my wife didn't complain, and she even wants to let her brother borrow it. Now, that's saying alot.

Generally she won't even watch movies with me if they are flawed in any way- she's a great critic - to her it's simple, it's watchable or it isn't. she could care less about what group put the movie out

So, other than the few minor glitches, this was an enjoyable viewing experience.

Overall, I was very pleased with both the picture colors and sound quality.

The picture was clear and sound was audible.
I agree that it was just a bit tinny
There was room for improvement in the sound, but it was not bad at all. IMO This is was certainly worth getting.

The movie itself was also pretty good. If you pay attention, you'll see that there are a few different story lines going on in this movie. The ending was a nice surprise.

For those who are wondering, NO - I do not post very often.
However, I check the board often and.. YES - I do read your posts.


My advice, get the movie.

Picture quality 8
Sound quality 7
Movie 8

average quality, dark in some places and audio is so so.


Posted by HomeSlice on 04-10-2003 09:35 PM:

Pretty nice release for a TS...it is just a tad dark, but very watchable. The video is great (I almost mistaked this release for the recently released screener of the movie ) and the audio is nice too. I haven't watched the whole release yet, so I cannot comment on the movie itself. I give it a 7/7.5/x

Nice job guys!
