Very fast release. Average picture quality for a DVDScr, washed out and blocky. It's the source, but anyway, I rate the picture I see.

V - 7 (again, for a DVDScr)
A - 8 (it's direct from the source and stereo, so no surprises there)
M - ? Will wait for a DVDRip / DVDR with 5.1 audio.

V - 8 (picture has dark slighly washed colors, probably the source)
A - 8 (Great!)
M- probably still go see this one in theaters.

wasn't expecting this one for awhile, hope the studios aren't too angry! thx NEPTUNE

Can't see anything wrong with it at all. Great video and audio. Will watch movie again and with this quality it may be better then first time around.



9/8.5/?

it's a TC and not a dvdscr. RAted as tc:

9/9/?

rated as dvdscr:

Excellent release and excellent timing!

V - 10 (I dunno why people are saying blocky it's excellent for a DVDSCR)
A - 7 most of audio is good, but decreases quality once in a while
M - 10 Most badass movie. sex, war, rebellion, its got it all.

wow, very good quality. Props for Neptune!

v: 9

a: 8.5

m: 9

looks awesome on my plasma screen!!

Any BB scenes or scrolling text property of etc ?

Finally after 47 releases of the Workprint there is a real screener! Quality is great. Video is a very wide aspect ratio, but looks like a genuine DVD Screener source. Audio is superb. Movie was good.

Best of all, the Watermarks are gone! Good bye MOJO. Thanks Neptune. Couldn't wait for the DVDR, so i've made my own.

i'm afraid hes right guys,

As you can see from this line (faint line) that is visible throughout the sample.avi (still leeching the rest)

Not for one second taking away the fact that this is the BEST TC I've seen for a LONG TIME.
better than all them 'so called' R5 releases of late.
So don't think I'm crapping on the release or quality for one second.
Its MINT, however it is also mislabeled and sadly should
be nuked as such, allowing for a real DVDscr in the future and not a PROPPER

Neptune, This is the best TC for months you should be proud.
the quality alone makes me overlook the mislabel
keep up the good work, (but watch the labels)


My shitty screen grab dose the picture quality no justice at all.
Its just to illustrate the line, i know there's a proper name for it...
but either way, its not an artifact you associate with DVDscr's

Arthur... maybe it would be a good release if it wasnt just a re-encode of the DVDR on p2p.

Still though, decent quality of course. 9/8/*

rating as a dvdscr

v = 8
a = 9
m = 7 dont know expected to much maybe

i've looked for the artifact that arthur daily mention but i cannot see it, the untrained eye and all that, but if its a tc then its the best i've ever seen!

jeps TC, a very nice one , but still a tc
why the hell you tag this as a dvdscreener, you must be proud on this TC !

for tc:
V:9 (very nice!)
A:6 (its direct but to lowly recorded)
M:9

Arthur, I'm not disagree'n with ya, cause generally you know ur sh*t.
But I'll be dammed if I can see the line(artifact) your talking about. Heh I must be gettin old,,,lol.
I've seen the line which you refer to on other movies. Like I said I'm not scumming you down, I just don't see it.
I believe the line you are referring to is usually corrected by DNR when they go from film to digital, although I may be wrong. DNR is usually used to correct film grain, electronic noise of the telecine, comb filter artifacts in composite video sources, film speckles, dirt, scratches etc... So we don't see them.
So if your seeing the line, then you probably are correct in saying it's a pretty damned sweet TC.
In rating this as a TC you gotta give it high 9's
Either way this is most watchable copy out there, and I doubt there will be better for awhile.

I was content with the Workprint and then this comes along. Both releases are keepers, Workprint for the obvious reasons and this also for the obvious reasons ha. Pic is excellent but could be sharper and looks too dark. As for the sound, nice and loud.

Great movie

From the sample it looks great.

8/9/?

Gonna watch soon.

v:9
a:8
m:7

pretty good movie, certainly a visual experience, short on story and such, but a fun time. video is great, audio is nearly as good, touch of loud parts for me and a bit of static but quite nice.

8/8/6

movie was ok think everyones just feeding off of the hype
^^ just based on action its a 8 the story brings it down

Impressive release Neptune

V: 8
A: 8
M: 6.5

ok so arthur admitted he made a mistake lol, what's bullets excuse for accusing this of being a tc therefore mislabled.
there is no way in hell this is a tc.... if it is then it's an R5, but still, i think it is a 100% dvdscr.

UNNUKED: verified.dvdscr.source

v-8
a-8
m-watching tonight

Wow, such a quick release!

V:9 -Beautiful
A:6 -My audio cuts out during the credits...Anyone else?
M:6 -Lots of hype. Kind of figured it'd be that way. Real nice to look at, but the message was heavy handed and not as great as it could have been.

awesome job thankz

V - 9
A - 8
M - 10

Audio cuts out for credits here too. Its an improvement on the 20th release I already have but not a huge one.

Its still very dark. I still cant see that spear that is thrown when the persian tells them to lay down their weapons (cd1 45:40).

Audio is a little better

V:8
A:8
M:6

ive skimmed thru the sample and cd1.

video is very clear but a bit dark.
i dont believe this is a dvdscr

dvdscr should be dvd quality in terms of brightness and lighting in the movie.

when there is a loud scene the sound crackles and distorts a lot.
maybe its the pc speakers that im using here at work...will try it out on a proper system later on.

V - 9 Very Little Blockyness.
A - 8 Little "Glitches" Here and There, Some Crackling.
M - 10 Awesome Damn Movie!


Thanks For The Great Release!

9/6/8

vid is great

audio is just OK .. the music cuts in and out (especially when the women's voice is heard). I guess it is clipping, hard to tell because it doesn't happen all the time. The main soundtrack seems cool. Not sure what is going on, but it's definitely not great. Plus there is no sound during the end credits.

Overall .. kick ass release!

if one were to consider how early this release is when rating, it'd be 10s all round for this bad boy.

9/7.5/8

probably an r5 given the inconsistent sound quality. still all good though!

V = 9
A = 8
M = 10

Best release i've seen in a while. Doesn't get much better than this.

SPARTA!!!!!!

video is great.

i don't know how in the hell everyone is rating this release so high on audio. the sound clips whenever it gets loud, which is a lot in this movie. so unless you like loud cracks throughout the entire movie... it made it unwatchable for me until i fixed it. maybe i'm just picky since i'm a sound engineer.

i ran the sound thru a clip distortion filter to get rid of the crackle and then normalized it in soundtrack pro. the sound gets a 9 from me after the distortion is removed.

V10/A4/M9

From the sample and from skimming through the movie, it looks damn good and is the best out there right now. You'll notice colors a bit washed and video is dark but then again that's how the original movie was shot. This copy just has colors a bit more washed and video a bit darker but overall the video is still sharp and audio is great. I give it 8.5/9/? (Haven't watched full movie yet to comment on it.)

Watched this on the TV tonight...

Had previously watched the last TS from 20th, which was pretty good.... this is just better.

video is excellent and sharp.. slightly dull colors but nothing to complain about.

audio is spot on.

best release to date and the movie as most know by now is one of the most entertaining action flicks I've seen in a while.

v: 9
a: 9
m: 10

Hold on... Would a DVDSCR have 'FINISHED' as the very last frame? isn't that an end of reel thing. i only caught a quick glimse last night but its defo there.

Still.. Its a nice release

V: 9
A: 7 (Some of the queen stuff was really low)
M: 5.5 (My second time watching. Still think its overrated)

You've done some amazingly retarded stuff on here in the past Arthur but that is comedy gold, thanks

I haven't watched the movie yet but I'm not sure what some of you folks are watching but I'm damned certain this is a TC not a DVDSCR. Sure, it's a fantastic TC, one of the best... but it's a TC, not a DVDSCR

Some of you seem really defensive just because somebody points out that you're mistaken and the group has mislabelled it. It doesn't prevent it from being an excellent copy of the movie and in all fairness I'd respect Neptune more for "Calling a spade a spade" instead of tagging it incorrectly. Does it pass as a DVDSCR? Not really, the definition isn't good enough, if it was an actual DVDSCR it would be a poor one but as it stands it's an awesome TC... Live with it!

Oh and for a DVD screener the audio would be a bit gash as well.

V - 6/10 (if DVDSCR) or 9/10 (for TC)
A - 5/10 (if DVDSCR) or 7/10 (for TC)
M - Dunno

ITS A TC !!!!!!!!

For Feck sake, ok so i had a mark on my screen
and a moment of Retardedness but the Fact remains

ITS A TC aka Telecine,
Not and i repeat not a DVDscr.

Basically you call a TC a TC if its a TC
or a Cam a Cam, When? When its a cam.

You don't call the dude in the post office Bob because he looks like you uncle bob.
If his name is Fred, then call him Fred.

OK, back on my meds now.....

Here's the Definitive proof that this is a TC
anyone still in any denial or don't know what a Telecine is and to embarrassed to ask..
Google it.


Here's the Last frame, Don't believe? check it yourself...

Video: 9 nice and clear
Audio: 7 hard to hear speaking but still good
Movie: Was killed by the hype so-so except the fighting which owned so a 7.5

I have just watched this one and I would give it at the very least a 9/10 on all points, not sure if any of those that are flaming it have actually watched the movie, but the sound is great, the picture is great and the movie, brilliant!!!
I have read a few various remarks and I am sure you must all be watching a different version as for any lines on it, couldn't see anything that distracted me from the film. I convered with DivxtoDVD and no probs at all

V: 9.5 A:8.5 M:10 <<---Watched it TWICE!

This is a High Quality TC. The machine this was captured on was of the highest quality.

With that said, the audio codec used is a little funky causing people to have clipping and popping problems when the audio peaks about -6Db.

Go install the most recent AC3filter and set the down mix settings to stereo and turn the audio down manually.

After that I encoded this to a DVD and it looks wonderful.

I watched this movie and I could care less who released it or if it's a TC or DVD screener. Most of you are picky little shit's. 10's all around.



::MOD EDIT:: You miss the point we're making... The quality IS excellent but mislabelling the release prevents any groups from releasing a DVDSCR as it would be nuked as a dupe - although they can "proper" this release. Why not release this as a TC in the first place cos it's a damned impressive one!? - Neversoft::

goto videohelp.com and get ac3filter and follow these steps to sort out the sound
NOW to configure.
1 Go into ac3filters configure (click start menu tards and find ac3filter, under there is something called ac3filter config DUH!!)
2 slide the master and gain sliders under the main, and mixer tabs to about 3/4 full
3 goto to the mixer tab and tick ALL THE CHECK BOXES under where it says options EXCEPT FOR THE BASS REDIR one, UNTICK THAT ONE
4 next to the options selection is a output selection, from those drop down boxes choose 2/0 Stereo and below that choose PCM 16bit
5 under the system tab check ALL the boxes under use ac3filter for, and all the boxes under SPDIF passthrough, LEAVE the check boxes under the SPDIF OPTIONS set to there defaults
6 Where it says filter merit select prefer AC3filter
7 Where it says Default audio render choose Use direct sound as default audio render
8 return to the main tab and where it says output select 2/0 stereo and in the other pulldown box choose PCM 16bit...

Convert it to a DVD!!!

Audio is sketchy as hell until you convert it to a DVD!
I didn't need to install any new codecs, and play with the volume or anything - just joined the two parts and converted it using DivxtoDvd.

The audio is then absolutely fine - really crisp and clear with absolutely no drop-outs/clips/pops
V=10
A=10
M= will watch later!

Still waiting for a good enough release...

Picture has a slight blur, contrast is out of whack - so it has a washed-out look. Much closer to the true "golden-hued" cinema release. If this *was* a screener (which I doubt) it would have to be lifted off a VHS. Artifacts are visible in the dark areas of the screen - probably the encoding that's done that.

Audio is screwed. It should be nuked for its audio - seriously.

If you want to compare the quality, watch the trailer. Maybe ok for small screen if you don't have a problem with the audio but this is not one for big screens.

V = 8

A = 4

M = 9

The real DVD will be around soon enough and it'll be worth the wait.

Let's get one thing straight - you don't know me, you don't know what I contribute to the scene, you don't know how long I've been on the scene... in short, you don't know, ok? So don't give me any of that whining crap about not criticising groups' releases. If you want to waste your time, bandwidth and media on the latest POS why bother reading this forum? As a discerning consumer I like to avoid crap, so thanks to those with the honesty to tell it like it is.

V: 8
A: 1 (Highly distorted while watching on TV? I will try a re-burn)
M: N/A

Couldn't get any sound at all on WMP 11 so I downloaded & installed an ac3 codec (sorry can't remember which 1) which sorted it. Converted to Dvd using ConvertXtoDvd & came out almost perfect. Looks & sounds superb on my 32" Samsung LCD

V 9
A 9
M 9

Very high quality, especially since it came out so quickly.

V: 8.5 Great except for when fading to and from black, at those points it gets a little artifacted, nothing too bad though. I watched it with three other people and I was the only one to notice.
A: 8 It would be perfect but it was only stereo.
M: 8 Better than I thought it would be. I'm glad I waited for a quality release.

if you want to improve the audio of this release before converting it to dvd to watch on your home theatre setup, here's what i did and it turned out great...

convert the .ac3 audio to .wav using BeSweet/BeLight or something along those lines. Then use Sony Soundforge with the following:
process > normalize > normalize using peak level @ -1.93db

hit ok, let it process and then save the new file. then convert it back to ac3 with the tool of your choice. i only used 192kb ac3 on my final dvd because 384 is pretty much pointless for a 2.0 mix especially in the case of this audio that has alot of cutoffs and clipping.

This is a Great TC screener, yeah the audio sucks and is very annoying when played on the PC, but i as some other people in here converted onto a DVD and when i play it back on my DVD players, the audio is just great, no carckling at all.

Props to Neptune for a fine realease

300 Scr-Neptune

Actaully You're all WRONG

Did you not notice artifacts as in 'Rocky Balboa' and many others lately or how they get subs direct onto movies

The simply anser is :

There all TV-Rip type captures. NOT direct Digital Rips.

So any artifacts or colour degradation is due to the CUPTURE MACHINE

Now you can all go out to play, you silly children

i watched this tonight at a mates place on a large HD tv with a kick ass sound system.

the picture quality was fantastic...seemed like it was a proper xvid
you could see in certain scenes where it was just a tad to dark, but otherwise you could hardly notice it once you got into the movie.

the sound was very good and didnt crackle at all.

awesome movie well worth watching

i really don't understand how anyone can think this is a 9v quality dvdscr.
it really is a nice TC.

here's a comparison i made with vlc:
the large (not HD) trailer from the apple site, and the sample of this release.

you will see how incredibly blurry this release is, with washed out colours and bad details in high and low brightness areas.

300 Xvid-neptune

NOTE:

The colours on this Xvid are fine just like the original, because it was done by the 'Sin City' film crew, and how weird the colur process was on that. Catch the current TV trailer for this then you'll see how close this is.

As for converting audio (or warping as it's known), make sure the audio software being used does'nt try to fix the 'PITCH' (or 'pitch control), allow the pitch to go up or down for the correct ntsc-pal warp otherwise a warbled effect will be heard especially on long sustained sounds (violins etc.)

Goldwave has an exellent warp feature in it's software.

great screener I must say, but even the TELESYNC, which had a little credits, had music to go with it. This version doesn't seem to have the music with the credits. Maybe this is just me saying this because I liked the music in the credits, oh well. Movie is still # 1 at box office and to have a DVDSCR of it already, that's just, WOW!

I have experienced trouble authoring and burning this file to DVD. I got past the wait of the fil transfer, but the authoring tool only put out an hour and 28 minutes of movie, noticably not the whole thing. where is the mVs release, or the SWiNE release? I still want this DVDSCR/DVDR...

Given the quality of the release I suspect that we may ALL be right.. and wrong.

If you remember back when R5s were announced they were specifically mentioned as "doing the same things a teleciner does, but with studio equipment," e.g. taking the movie and capturing digitals of all the reels, then turning that into a release. It isn't the only way R5s come out, but the only exceptions are leaked sources, pre-release "for your consideration" stuff, etc. Anyway, given the insanely high quality of the TC work, the various DVD->XviD artefacts you can vaguely pick up on, and the release source being called a DVD SCR I'm going to have to say that it is actually a Telecine-sourced *R5* and that Neptune must be one of the groups that doesn't support the designation.


That's my two cents.

ITS A TC aka Telecine,
Not and i repeat not a DVDscr.

Basically you call a TC a TC if its a TC
or a Cam a Cam, When? When its a cam.

You don't call the dude in the post office Bob because he looks like you uncle bob.
If his name is Fred, then call him Fred.

OK, back on my meds now.....

Here's the Definitive proof that this is a TC
anyone still in any denial or don't know what a Telecine is and to embarrassed to ask..
Google it.


Here's the Last frame, Don't believe? check it yourself...

Can anyone tell me how to fix it in BeSweet ?

7/6/8

(rated as dvdscr - pretty sure it's a tc/r5)

Hats off to Neptune....This is one of the absolute best SCr I have seen in awhile. Outstanding job.......

V: 9
A: 9
M: 8 (Guys will love it)

Great Job NEPTUNE!!!!!!!

burned without authoring and it turner out ike crap. The 2.35:1 is maintained but that's all that is maintained in this screener when combinded. About 10 minutes in, goes badly out of sync, then 30 minutes later, audio is barely able to hear, then disc 2 there is no audio. If this file is not totally fucked up, could someone please, and I do mean pretty please tell me what to convert and what to author this with? I liked their Blood Diamond release way better... This one is a shame for NEPTUNE, sorry...

The video is top quality, couldn't ask for much better. However, the sound is fucked up. I had to keep turning the volume up and down throughout the entire movie, not sure if this is normal or not but fucked up none the less. I'd give the movie itself a 7, why not, heterosexual women need something to masturbate to

LD

i did what someone else suggested. i extracted the audio (virtualdub), converted to wav(besweet), normalize to -1.93db(soundforge). then instead of converting back i left as wav and encoded video and audio to dvd format with TMPGENC. came out awesome. finest i have ever seen

8.5/8/7. Nice quick release. Audio crackles the odd time during loud music scenes but other then dat no problems.

I had the audio crackling problems too, but downloading the newest ac3filter codec (1.30b) seemed to fix it. I'm not sure what version I had previously.

Now time to watch

v9/a9/m?

Watched this ages ago .

V - 9ish for a TeleCine , 8 for dvdscr (totally watchable)

A - 9 (good clear AC3)

M - 9 (great action sequences ,awesome storyline ,one of Frank Miller's finest)

excellent release! and a bloody god film too, wasnt sure what t expect aving seen trailors ect.
i didnt burn this film i stuck it straight on a USB stick and played it on the DVD player -32" LCD in my bedroom and it looks and sounds a LOT better than on a PC

As far as the video goes its pretty much spot on, colours look great, no blurring etc, if anything it looks VERY slightly cropped...9

Audio when i watched the first 5 mins on the PC sounded shit.. generally muffled and a bit crackly, like someone had turned the volume up full then put a pillow over the speakers
but when i watched it on the TV the sound was fine.. a litle low in parts but completely understandable! 8

First post in a while.

Watched this on my PC first. Video was great, but audio was crappy (lot of static). Watched this on my stand-alone and... no static. PHENOMENAL MOVIE.

V-9
A-9 on Stand-alone, 6 on PC
M-10

not going to get into any bitching about whether its a tc or a dvdscr... All I care about is that I got a film like this, the week it was released in suberb quality to watch in to comfort of my own living room with a nice cool beer...

Burned o dvd, watched on a 32" widescreen tv and results are as follows...

V - Absoloutly brilliant. Near DVD quality. can't complain at all - 9

A - Didn't notice any problems with crackling whatsoever, at worst it soulnds a little distorted..a LITTLE - 8

M - Brilliant! shut your brain off and enjoy the highly stylised violence - 9

There is a reencode of the original two files. 300 (2007)DVDSCR.XviD-NEPTUNE (reencoded). I guess I am not the only one who could not burn this file either. Worked great until I converter it, and it was out of sync. I was able to save this file using DVD Santa and delaying the audio sync by 350 milliseconds. Sure as hell saved this movie from becoming a disaster before I could even watch it. Stil have not burned though. Great rls, although did seem kind of blury for what the video was worth. Maybe it is just the monitor, but the file was only half the size of what the two files were alone...

no way in hell this is a TC. for surely DVDSCR...got the neptune release of it and all u guys surely too...but most of u mention 2.0...my reciever is gettin' a 5.1 DD out of it...and it's not virtual surround sound

V - 10 (dvd scr wise)
A - 10 - ain't nothing' wrong with it
M - 10 - Blood, gore and violence is all i need to get off

V - 9
A - 8
M - 10

i had the same crackling problem on the audio.... i downloaded the AC3filter 1.30b codec as previously mentioned...and it seems to of done the job

I burned it to DVD using VSO ConvertoDIVX and ran into a slight problem. The video wraps around at the edges. Has anyone else had this problem? If so, how do I solve it?

Overally, I thought it was decent.

V - 8.5 (A bit dark and missing some definition)
A - 8.5 (There's some bass and cracking issues)
O - 8.5 (Overall a good copy, wondering if it's really a Screener)

Wow!!

V-8
A-8
M-8.5

This one gets 8's across the board b/c it is just a plain good release. And not to mention a great movie also. The Video is very clean and crisp. I didnt notice not a single macroblock throughout the entire movie. And the Audio was very clean and clear also. Great Job on this one NETUNE!!! Keep em coming
