Picture is Ok not the greatest

Sound, that fookin Hum is unbearable, and yes it does sound as tho it's center channel, I guess that's the jack not all the way in the slot thing.

Definitely dissapointed by this movie.

Centropy strikes again!

Hmm.. Wasn't there a post in the VideoCD-release-thread that said Centropy and VideoCD was the same group? Anyhow, the TS beats the shit out of the CAM. Movie is good, the usual Centropy-TS standard, nothing to complain about watching it on Standalone on a Phillips 30" WS. Those CCD-lenses is sure worth the price!

Video: 8

Audio: 7

Movie: 7 - not that bad, and I've read the book a couple of times.

The film is ok at best, the bloke who tweaked and edited Adam's script cant have understood its Adams wring that makes it funny, I really cant beleive how much of the funny stuff from the books that was cut or shortened.

Posted by lazerfire on 05-03-2005 12:56 PM:

the film is ok picture is on the dark side and has a slight flicker to it.
sound is good not perfect but good.

picture because its a little dark = 6 out of 10

sound because its good but not perfect = 8 out 10

overall film 7 out of 10

i think i wait for a better copy as i know there will be as it will just spoile a very good film.

if u watch a very good film with ok picture it becomes a ok film etc.. but if u watch it with great picture it becomes a great film.

verdict ...............wait a tiny bit longer.

Not bad Centropy, ive seen way better, and way worse, this release is watchable, colors a bit washed, lights are flickery.
Sound is DTS so cant complain. If you squint a bit the video may look a tad better :P

Overall good release
TS Rating

VIDEO : 7,0/10
AUDIO : 8,5/10
MOVIE : 7 enjoyable

Yeah, this isn't bad at all. Hum is very noticable in the quiet scenes but the film is certainly watchable. Reminds a bit of that part in CTP's Attack of the Clones where the jack slips out but then they correct it....unfortunately, it's permamnent in this.

Been a few bizarre comments in here of late. To the poor sap who thinks that this is not a TS, well compare the sound on VideoCd's (and that other mislabelled release) and this. Do you here any laughing in the background here? This is direct, but just jacked direct and the jack not fully in direct

The other comment was no group will touch SW3 with a bargepole. Been said before for Phantom Menace and Attack of the Clones and we had some fairly nice TS's fairly quick. I see no reason why his security would be more for the last than it would, let's say for the first. Lucas gave a whole load of bluster before the release of the other 2, and the groups still managed to get em out. I for one have already booked my seat at the cinema though and for a release, well nothing less than TC will do up until the DVD retail.

Back to this
8/6.5/8 - liked the film although it did make tough work of some of Adam's more subtle nuances.

Mr In-The-Know surely knows how to call them.

They are still the same grp , how do i know ? They got big mouths and stuff with that grp doesnt stay quiet on IRC ... look at their "A Lot Like Love" SVCD TS (example) was leaked 14 hrs before it was actually released.

So you and all the other Centropy peons can call me down all you want ... the end of the day they still are the same grp , Like Centropy has done in the past year (no real sources) but yet recruits members from exisiting grps to keep their existance going.

Anyway , like i said ... Ctp & its peons can call me down all they want on a public forum crying cause i was honest about their movies , i dont give two shits ...

Anyway this is a movie Quality thead .. lets see your review !

/end rant

I agree, nuttin in the past has stopped the groups from doing the SW movies, so I doubt highly nuttin will stop them this time.

I for another have my tickets booked for first showing of EPIII and I will be taking my son to the show the next night, and I have no intentions of actually downloading EPIII of any quality, this movie will be the monument of the SW series and I think Lucas and the boys deserve our cash for it!!!!

As for this copy of Hitchhiker's there is no doubt this is the best quality we will see till a scr or retail comes out, unless someone gets hands on a nice TC, but I still won't waste my time or BW on gettin anything till retail dvdr

Centropy, good work on this, too bad about the audio being alittle off, don't matter ya still do excellent werk and no matter what some of these peons say we appreciate all the hard werk ya do for us!!!!! You Go Centropy, don't listen to the peons, it's not their butt on the line for this, they can all go masterbate somewhere until they get the balls to get out there and do something for the scene besides be leeches!!!

8/6/8

Seems like only 1% percent of the people in here actually have ears in their heads.

DTS-rip? Riiiiight. Rating it 8 or 9? Do you usually listen to movies in your mobile phone?

The bass hum is mostly acceptable, but it's center channel sound only! Lots of audio is missing! Didn't anyone notice there was no music to the singing in the beginning? The explosion of the earth was a small pfft!
At least that makes the dialogue clear.. unless someone is off screen talking...

I'm hoping for an internal proper with a good, at least stereo, audio source.

Video: 7 (good, a bit cropped)
Audio: 5
Film: 8

Actually Adams did most of the work on the screenplay with a little help from another guy. He stated that the film isn't a strict adaptation from any of the books, just as the books aren't strict adaptations from any of the radio broadcasts.

Anyway, I can't wait to get it though I have already gone to the theater. I only get films worthy it until they're released. I just find it easier to pay 10 bucks and sitdown than try and find a bot for hours that doesn't dissappear while I'm waiting in line...

Read the ending of the newly published version of the first book, it has around 70 pages on the making of the film.

Adams had written the script yes, he had written loads of version of the script, but it was then tweaked and edited by the other bloke (who's name escapes me) to make it gel better... of course nonone knows exactly what was cut / changed, but given the fact that every version has been diffrent but has kept the same core comedy, it seems to me that adams would not have removed what makes the series so damned good.

its not a bad film (and this is my opinion of course) but what makes Adams funny is his ability to (and this is of course along with his great imagination) to write great funny diolog, and this lacked some of those classic lines.

It was an implosion, not an explosion, and the sound was a small 'pfft' in the theater too.

Don't know about the rest of the sound being missing or not. The movie wasn't good enough for me to care about downloading a TS.

Posted by E-A on 05-03-2005 10:16 PM:

slightly later than most - I just watched this on my 19" tft and through my stereo amp/speaker setup
the pic qual was definatly watchable, the sound seemed okay to me - heard a hell of a lot worse

Being a huge HH fan - I just dont get the love story thing they added - My wife watched it - never having read or listened to it b4, thought it was a fairly rubbish film, I think considering - it should get a 6 for good effort

8/8/6

Posted by dwayne on 05-03-2005 10:49 PM:

ctp is a quality group its not nice to spread IRC gossip around i dont know if you noticed but its gossip nothing more . you heard from this guy who knows that guy its all bullshit you shouldnt state it as true facts that how people get pissed anyway ...the movie is cropped but its a good copy should hold over untill dvdrip not a very good release but still a quality one ....keep em coming centropy and fuck the haters ;] the quality is just like the incredibles
