Personally i think you are all over rating the video a bit. The colors are not quiet as good as the nox cam, and there is just something about it, seems a little more i dunno grainy maybe, not as clear. Of corse you can actually see the whole movie, and the audio is very nice. 6.5/8

Not syched about the film, but i guess this will be the version i watch.

Very dark, but it's a dark movie. I actually saw this one in theaters, though.

7/8/5

The nfo states that SG18 uses silvers, but so do maVen. They just have a DTS supplier, but their video source is the same as VideoCD's.

This was actually a decent movie, if you disregard the major plot errors, especially with Waylan.

Also, never in the history of the Alien series has a Xenomorph ever taken on physical traits from the host in which it gestates. That was my major gripe about the film. Another few technical issues; namely, the short period of time in which the chestburster pushed out of the host. Usually it took up to an hour after regaining consciousness.

I also think that the Yautja (Predator) actors needed to study the first two films more, because they moved like high school football jocks, as opposed to swift, menacing hunters.

Posted by crunch on 08-17-2004 08:27 PM:

finally.. maVen brought it

nice one I must say.. 7/9/? havn't seen movie yet.. but have to see it even if its all that bad as people says

Posted by LuTioN_nc on 08-17-2004 08:31 PM:

Video is a little grainy. I'm just judging from the sample, so I'll give it a 7/9/?

The sample was a little dark. Maybe the quality will improve in other areas of the movie

Nice release. A tad dark though. I know it's a dark movie and all, but it's really hard to see whats going on at times. All in all, good release maVen.

it was a joke dude don't get upset. jsut alot of people look at jpeg and say " well great video and audio was so so" gay stuff like that! besides even for rating video the jpeg is not that great beucase its a still frame. so you can't tell if their is motion blur and ect!

Dude, if they were typing in Egyptian Sandscript, I could care LESS. The fact of the matter is that they provide us with high quality telesyncs, and THAT should be what's most important. I'd rather see bad english in the notes and high quality ts's than perfect english grammar in the notes, and crappy ts's.

Posted by firefighter on 08-17-2004 09:15 PM:

After Skimming through CD1 decided that im going to wait till nighttime to watch this. Not super excited to see this but meh what else is there to watch ... This copy is dark dark dark dark dark, but thats cause of the movie ... wait till nighttime to watch this. During fast moving scenes you get some motion blurrness, colors seem ok and crop looks ok also. Sounds good per usual bit soft had to crank speakers a bit. Overall nice TS and copy to pick up.

Movie - 7/8/?

Intro sounded like porn music - all good though

Intro - 8/9/2

That's not my point .. they think they're the shit and all, and if they want other groups/people to read their nfos, they better make them legible.

But yes, they provide us with high quality telesyncs, and that's good .. but still!

Video is from a dark scene but it still looks good. Audio is perfect. The bass seems to really come alive in this one.
Will edit after watching movie and if anything else that may come up.

Posted by pHizZ on 08-17-2004 11:22 PM:

The jpg that got cut is hilarious.

Posted by Hurr on 08-17-2004 11:48 PM:

Nice pic and audio.

After skipping around through the cds it looks like a very nice TS overall especially considering the movie is really dark. I can still see what the heck is going on which is a big bonus heh

Keep hitting these home runs maVen

8/9/? (Not watched the whole thing yet, just skipped through for quality check)

That Donnie Darko quote is STILL wrong man.

Oh and fair release, film was a pile of crap though. To be honest though this is a little too dark to be pleasantly watchable. Watchable, yes, but you struggle at some parts.

Posted by JK1 on 08-18-2004 12:16 AM:

yep another great release by maven 8/8/8

Posted by pHizZ on 08-18-2004 12:19 AM:

I'm watching this on my Apex. Is there a glitch on CD1 when the Russian dude enters the room with the baby penguin?

Posted by daz2712 on 08-18-2004 12:56 AM:

Don't know about anyone else but I'm fed up with people picking at fckin stupid things on these releases.
This is a damn good and let me say DAMN QUICK release by maven considering the quality!

U people carry on moaning and they will start to think why they bother!

The vast majority on here have actually appreciated the release but there are a small minority of pinheads who feel the need to moan!

Give it a rest!

Posted by tallguy425 on 08-18-2004 01:01 AM:

the intro is funny!

Posted by younpadawan1 on 08-18-2004 01:02 AM:

Great release all round, picture was dark but clear, and sound was sharp with no nasties I could hear.
Went in expecting little due to VERY negative reviews, but I enjoyed it. Nice slow build up, quick character development, some nice affectionate nods to all the other films, sensitive use of cgi to bolster great practical effects.
One thing I will mention is that a directors cut is a must as some scenes were clearly cut to keep the rating pg-13, but that's one for the special edition dvd that will inevitably surface.
Ignore the doom and gloom merchants and give the film a chance, if nothing else it's success will pave the way for the film we all want to see, a Ridley Scott/James Cameron team-up for alien 5

What, like the dog alien from Alien 3?

And I believe the group of preds were meant to be juveniles. The pred in Predator at least wasnt, so presumably they act like idiots beccause, well, theyre young and inexperienced, hence the lack of grace...

7/9/3

Picture is dark... but it's a dark movie. Colors are off. Clarity is good.

Sound rocks.

Movie blows.

To Paul Anderson: (LOL, like he reads these forums or something). Thanks for ruining 2 perfectly good franchises. Next time, think twice before doing a game to movie project asshole, cause ya fucked this one up. Resident Evil was good though.

This was a comic book, too.

Anyway, I might've had a bad burn, but CD2 got frozen at the part where the dude finds his gun covered in slime (I have an Apex player without a display, and I lost my remote) up until the first Alien Vs. Predator scene. It plays for about a minute, then freezes when Lex kills the Alien, right before Predator 1 dies.

Posted by BLUE-NEO on 08-18-2004 02:12 AM:

This is a very nice release...after downloading SG18 cd1, I think their version should have came with a free offer for toilet paper, so you could flush the shit after wasting bandwidth.

Thank Goodness for maVen...nice respectable release..just picked up and skimmed through cd1 and cd2 and no complaints..good job..the guys head that was through the whole movie in the bottom right corner was unusual for a maVen release..and it took the asshole damn near 2 mins to sit down and get comfortable..lol

8/9/8 movie was actually pretty good listening to others I would have thought differently. but even for PG the action was strong and the effects were lovely. story falls off base a little but overall great movie..can't wait for the sequel.

this thread is to report on the quality of the fucking release, not speculate about release group's drama, the mods of the site don't want that type of talk here because it brings unwanted discussion and uneeded attention to specifics, if you want to ramble on about your theories of group releases you know nothing about, do it amongst talk with your friends, not on this forum, god damn i hate you people.

(from about a week ago on the collaterall thread)

Now again only judging from cd1, it's dark, durr it's avp it's not gonna be in central park during the middle of the day, no doubt the best release out to date, I like the quality, very appealing with what seems as standard audio, glad to see a decent release out of this.
8/8/? -> not expecting a real high score for the film itself.

i love it.. it would be.. as if.. you watch them rip it from a silver or something ? you dont get these quality of rips unless its from a scene dedicated group (ie - ctp ?) you cant get this good quality from something thats been encoded once already....

anywho. video is definitely a 8/9 as usual, and video and 10, its dts.. no fuck ups that i noticed when watched. shit movie. never will watch again.

I also think that the Yautja (Predator) actors needed to study the first two films more, because they moved like high school football jocks, as opposed to swift, menacing hunters.

Had to point something out... In Alien3 (I know we are all trying to forget that movie as being part of the Alien series) the Xenomorph did gestate in a dog, and the result was a Canine Hybrid. It was the only thing they carried from the original script for Alien3, in which the Xenomorph DNA was brought back to earth, and the govt. ended up creating various species of Alien Hybrids. The script is actually quite good, and you may be able to still find it online.

As for your comment about the Yautja, I agree, they did not move the same, and it didn't really look right. I saw this in the theater, and while I thought it could have been done better, I still enjoyed it.

As for this release, just checked out the sample, and it looks dark, but def. the best release so far. Will watch it tonight with all the lights out.

Based on sample:

8/9/8

Posted by hadrian on 08-18-2004 03:44 AM:

Having seen the whole thing, the picture is good but not THAT good (7), audio is great (8), film is better than I'd thought it'll be (6).

More like a Predator film where the Aliens get in the way to me, would've been better if they got someone who actually SAW the previous films.

MaVen are gods, but I was hoping for something with picture quality as good as Collateral, but hey can't complain they're doing this for free.

Next time you get the urge, or " feel like your a mod " do us all a favor and click that small link at the bottom that says " Report this post to a moderator " FYI - thats what its there for.

As for the movie, I went to a screening a day before it opened, wasn't impressed at all, shotty acting ( except for Lance Henriksen who play's the Bishop character in Aliens and Alien 3 ) and just an overall feeling of " damn this reminds my of Freddy vs. Jason ". You can't top an original, and thats been proven over and over.

Props to maVen on the nice release, good to see some decent SVCD TS's instead of fucking CAM's. Sounds o.k. on the T.V. and the picture is solid.

Video : 8

Audio : 8

Movie : -4

I thought the movie sucked when I saw the nox release, took me a good 10 hours after release was pre'd to decide to watch maVens release.

I now think the movie owns hahaha.

Picture - Crisp, maybe a little dark but that's because the movies dark...put your brightness up a bit and you're set. 8.5/10

Sound - Amazing...didn't have any problems understanding anything. 10/10

Movie - I don't know what most people hate about it, I loved it. Good story, Good action. 8/10

gee - lets see - only one cinema on the planet has french subtitles, so they MUST be VideoCD, it's not likely there are two cammers in the country.

Gee - lets see - they have french subs in movies, is there a chance English isn't their first language? you can understand what they type, who cares if it's spell checked and grammar checked.

I never post in here, because it just ain't worth it. THe first 2 pages of posts are morons pretending they've seen the movie, when they've only seen the sample or jpeg. All you do is f-in whine and complain about ALL the groups no matter who they are. One week the sun shines out of a groups arse, the next they are shit. And you wonder why the scene is dying and the great groups of days gone past are gone.

MaVen consistantly release good quality TS's, and i'm happy they do. Other groups do their bit, some poorly, some well. Who gives a poo if YOU want to wait for a DVD-Rip from a specific group before you're happy - if that's the case, stay out of the 'VCD' section and stick in the DVD-R one.

Saw this one tonight - wasn't totally impressed with the Audio, but for a movie i'm watching at home, on a Television (which is what VCDs and SVCDs are designed for - for those that say it looks shit on a computer) it's very watchable. Little dark in places, but it's a dark movie, so i'm sure the original was.

8/8/3 (movie itself was shite, lol)

now quit whining like i just did and rate the movies. I noticed as soon as 404 stopped posting the rules as the first post, the slagging all started again - maybe that needs to be auto inserted into every release (hint hint)

Posted by firefighter on 08-18-2004 09:04 AM:

After finally taking time to watch this i dont feel this copy warrents an 7-8-9-10 rating for picture but rather a 6. Why? Compairing to past TELESYNC's seen in the past few years this is no better then a copy MaTinE or iMPERiAL releases with DTS disk.

The Colors were washed a bit, The Picture is constant grainy, Flickering in the picture , bit cropped and mostly constant people getting up and down in front of the camera with heads & bodys in front of the screen. The Guy bottom right of screen got a bit annoying. Motion Blurness and AutoFocus problem at times also. The Audio also like maVens past releases .. quiet and needing Audio crank or Music wayy louder the speech.

This yes is the nicest copy out so far but not a "sweet, kickass, perfect" Telesync. Coulda been alot better. Also intro Says finest German/English Telesync's but yet the subs are all french ...

After watching switching to a

6/7/6

No im not a hater of maVen , yes i appreciate their work, just voicing my opinion on a quality board

*sigh* Tis true. I decided to stop posting the rules to see if everyone could get along without being reminded all the time. It seems to have proven what i always knew. A large percentage of you are fucking idiots who can't follow the most simple of rules.

So... once again for the morons among you.

1 NO REQUESTING (This is obvious. Ask and get banned)

2 NO SLAGGING OFF OTHER USERS. I am fucking sick to death of people slagging each other off. Stick to rating the quality and note any problems you feel with the release. SLAG OFF OTHER USERS AND I WILL BAN YOU!

3 I do not want to hear any shit about "Ooooh. Where's Centropy/Video CD" or "I'll wait for Centropy/VIDEO CD"

4 IMPORTANT I want no... and i mean NO theories posted in any part of this site about who you believe maVen are. If i see it then you get an instant ban.

5 If you cant abide by the above rules. GET THE FUCK OUT. Nobody wants you here!

Also.. if you post about me posting the rules i'll delete your post and ban you.

Rate the quality of the release. THAT IS ALL! If somebody goes off topic and acts retarded don't slag them off.. I'll delete their post soon enough.

First half of the movie was pretty good, Second half including the finale was cheesy..LMFAO...Oh well..It still made a killing!!!

Posted by frak on 08-18-2004 03:36 PM:

another fine maven release.

watched this on the TV:

Video 8- very good, especially for a dark movie.
Audio 8.5- excellent as always
Movie-6 was ok.. i was never a fan of the alien series.

Just watched it through... happy with the quality.

Video - 7 (Somewhat blurry, but still great for a TS -- it's the best so far. Though, there's a head in the bottom corner that gets a little annoying.)

Audio - 8 (Audio is great, just a tad low.)

Movie - 3 (Didn't like the movie)

It's a very good release and worth the download. Good job, maVen!

Posted by cyanyde on 08-18-2004 05:27 PM:

Still dark as shit, I feel like Im playing Doom 3.. even the flashlights are the same!
Also the movie sucks ass until the last couple of action scenes which are still dark as shit..
Oh well, maybe the little suprise at the ending will pave the way for a kiler sequel.. Doubtful, but one can always hope!

6/8/5

All in all, this was a Very Good movie. The Video was BY FAR the Best out. IMHO tho, it seemed to be a bit washed out, but not much at all. The audio was Excellent as well. maVen brings it yet again. Their Intro is pretty nice too! I can tell that a good bit of work went into designing and tweaking that thing. Again GREAT JOB maVen!!!!! You Guys ROCK!!! The movie itself I thought was also Very informative. It let you know alot of background on Both Alien and Predator. Like someone else mentioned already, I believe this movie is merely laying the ground work for another AVP!!! Again, Thanks Alot maVen for showing these newbs how to Properly release a Movie.

7/8/6 i would have gave the movie a better score but it lacked that continuity and that R rated goodness from its originators

personally i can understand marketing your movie as pg-13 since your target audience ecompasses a higher demographic of people, but come the fuck on , im sick of these pussyfied watered down "director's faggot nephew's" ideas making it to screen. and paul anderson , i liked event horizon , stick to shit like that.

the brightness of the flim was not a problem since they were 2000 ft below the surface i didnt expect much light .

the sound , ya know , after you seen so many tc's and ts's you just start to not give a shit provided its all there and you can make out the language but i liked it .

maven has been putting out good releases lately, good job.
Ill leave it at that , no need to swing from their nuts or debate their origin , its a fuckign rls group people , get their releases and stfu

8/9/8

very very dark movie and they did great for a dark move.

audio is awesome but Were all spoiled with these dts audio. It's like we expect it now either way it's awesome

Movie was very good and enjoyable, I had a ton of fun and nice open ending.

6.5/8.5

you might like to watch again I, robot by centropy (just one that i remember...) to compare with a real nice TS...

The film is naturally dark, its set underground for a start, its really not that bad at all (the darkness). It's only a little grainy, that is also not a problem.

After i actually sat down and watched it through, the one thing that annoyed me through out the film was not darkness or grainyness, it was the jumping. The release did not play very smoothly, the jumpy and shaky ness became quite annoying at times.

As for the film itself, as pHizZ mentioned there are some major plot holes. Now i liked the way they tied it all together, it was quite believable and worked well, however in the end it could never live up to its predessors and simply lacked that little something extra. Not to mention the lame re-use of a few plot tricks from the others, which stood right out and slapped you in the face.

To recap my quality votes, they were: 6.5/8
Votes for the film itself, somewhat dissapointing but not the worst film ever: 5

Ok I am a sci-fi nut. I couldn't wait to see this film, so I saw it opening day in the theatre. Major props to maVen for making a dark movie very nice. Regardless of what everyone else says I truly liked this film. Worth the download. And yes the whole Xenomorph thing was in A3 (and A3 was the worst of the alien series imo). These are young predators, and this appears to be a rite of passage for them (this hunt). I believe the elder predator (he had the mark from the rite of passage as well) saw the chestburster inside the young predator and will use it for a future hunt (sequel?). They did after all have the queen shackeled and was forcing her to breed for them to hunt the offspring. Sure the story line could have used some work but this was a very good movie IMO. Very nice video and excellent audio.
I can't say anything less than 7/9/9 (as a Telesync)
My rating, my review, my rantings

Posted by zak on 08-18-2004 09:23 PM:

pretty damn decent.

Rating from cd2 r7 which is mostly in the dark and has some pred vision in it.
7/8/7
The vid is a little too grainy, maybe faded even, for a TS. Sound is as good as it gets and the movie is still meh.. shoulda been rated 'R' and contained partial nudity and massive amounts of horror violence.

Posted by I am X on 08-19-2004 12:51 AM:

Video was GOOD. Dark, but GOOD. It was dark in the theater too, so no surprise there. Did an adjustment with TMPGEnc. set the brightness to 10 and the contrast to 30, made it look MUCH more viewable on my standalone. I didn't see any artifacts, even on the fast scenes. This was a well done release. Audio was crisp, and had the sound bouncing all over the place on surrond sound speakers. That DTS/Dolby audio source is SWEET.
Unlike many people, I LIKED the movie. I wasn't expecting it to be as good as any of the others from either series, and I feel that it WAS better than Alien 3, but all the other Alien and Predator movies were better. I still liked the effects in this movie. They did a good blend of CGI monsters and rubber suit monsters. Storyline was basic, and semi full of plot holes, but people seem to forget that this movie was trying to follow the plots of TWO other storylines at the same time, both having at LEAST 1 sequal each. That would be no easy task, no matter HOW good a writer you are. Ridley Scott and James Cameron would have had plot holes if THEY wrote it.

Video - 8
Audio - 9
Movie - 7

Posted by soner44 on 08-19-2004 01:43 AM:

This is my first time leaving a review so peops dont flame lol. Just finished watching this release and i must say the video was good. some scenes were dark but despite this it was very watchable (even the dark scenes). My only complain was that person (who i think intentionally) put his head up. i know its a cinema release so im not complaining just saying. The sound was GREAT, had to tone down the sub however as the effects were too loud. As for the movie, i wasnt expecting nothing from this film. never watched any trailers or listened to the hype and i enjoyed it for what it was worth. If your an Alien or Predator fan then i reccomend to watch this movie. Even the novelty value of watching both in action is worth it

as for my ratings

Video 8
Audio 9
Movie 7

Video would have got a 9 if there werent any pesky people getting up in front of the camera and if the dark scenes were a tad lighter. But its free so im not complaining lol KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK MAVIN!!!!!

any how thats my 2 cents

Yeah, there's the top of someone's head there for a couple minutes in two instances, but that's getting really picky, of course. It doesn't hurt to mention peeps/heads, I just hope no one would downgrade the main video rating for something like that since it's usually a very minor thing.

I don't know what's up with the audio on some of these latest releases. People say it's DTS, but it must be my lack of a DTS stereo because they tend to sound a little... lacking... in plain stereo. Like they're missing some punch or oomph or something. I'll chalk it up to my equipment, though. Can't fault it otherwise.

I can't believe anyone would rate this video less than a 7 minimum. Some of the telesyncs like this and The Chronicles of Riddick look like bad DVD. (That's a good thing.) They look pretty damn good on a 50" TV. I'd guess the lower ratings are from people watching on monitors. The picture didn't move or shake like someone mentioned, so that might be from a bad burn.

Some of the reviews here had me fearing the worst, but the movie wasn't bad at all! Wasn't great, sure, but it did keep from being overly cheesy while still delivering some decent action.

9/9/7

Wow, is it just me or do people in Europe never sit down for their damn movies. I mean WTF there were people coming and going up til the last 30 minutes. That aside I must say that im truly dissappointed with this film, but then again, Ive been dissappointed with every alien film since Aliens (which still paled in comparison to the original) As far as this release goes, Video was good, but dark. Audio was well done, and the movie, well, it kinda sucked. Overall i give it a 7/8/5 and i think im being generous on the movie rating.

well even with the head in the bottom right corner its still a very watchable movie since the head is there for what a couple of minutes???? its FREE and a very good copy, so i for one aint complaining and am very grateful for this great release.

keep them coming MAVIN

one LAST thing, was it me or was the movie like 1 hour and 30 minutes????? i mean thats a bit short dont you lot think? the shortest alien film was like 2 hours

well thats me anyway lol

Nice movie for whats its worth though

Soner44

Posted by flippa on 08-19-2004 02:46 PM:

8 (reasonable pic)
7 (sound okay but had to turn it up on speakers)
2 IMO movie an absolute pile of crap and a waste of my time

Thanks to Maven for a speedy release of this movie. I was desperate to watch it but sorely disappointed. They should have left AvP as a computer game. Ah well.... just pleased I didn't pay to watch this one. I would say I agree there is the odd person walking across.... but what do you expect.... it's a telesync. It did not bother me. Sometime dark parts are a little hard to make out but pretty good for telesync. Otherwise release is more than watchable. This is the one I was waiting for.

Well yeah, in comparison to its predecessors the film was a little shorter, but then the average film length is generally 90-100minutes, and since this is still outside of that generalisation, you can't really concider it short.

Alien: 117
Aliens: 137
Alien 3: 114
Alien Resurrection: 109
Predator: 107
Predator 2: 108

Alien Vs Predator: 101

why did they bother with this movie?

Posted by macca1969 on 08-20-2004 12:57 AM:

Movie 8
Audio 8.5
Movie 6.5

Picture quality was pretty good for a TS movie was dark so picture is gonna be dark but still v.watchable.

audio imho was very very good listened on 5.1 system and was impressed. bass on the sub was great fight scenes sounded A1.

movie was better than expected if your looking for a throw away
movie this is great if your looking for deep and meaningful dont
bother.

Posted by Str8Paz on 08-20-2004 01:50 AM:

Hmmm

Well ......

I'd Give the video a 7 - 1/2.. it was a bit dark and a bit grainy.

Audio is very good - 8 and a half

Movie ... 6 not as good as a ithought i mean how lame .. the women teaming up with the preditors.

Is this filmed In France or canada . ? people speak french and english in canada if i am not mistaken...
I suspect france becuase in bourne supremecy . it was rusian yet with french subs (i wish they had english )

would it be possible for A rls group to make eng subs for those parts if they know the french ?

Thanxs

i just wonder, where you guys seen the french sub in this movie ?
i personaly didn't see any except a name ... or its just to complain ?

Posted by t4_V on 08-20-2004 01:57 PM:

Certain amount of graininess but like it's been said, the movie itself is dark so the ts will be. There was still detail even in the darkest scenes. Video 8

The audio was excellent, 9

The movie itself was great, I enjoyed it immensely, 9.

Posted by php on 08-20-2004 05:20 PM:

vcd contains errors, WMP doesn't jump forward/backward, returning errors. had to convert to mpeg2, de-multiplex the whole thing and then re-multiplex it properly. In fact, it was so broken, TMPGEnc wasn't even able to de-multiplex it properly, had to use Mpgtx. The groups will never learn They think testing in Windvd is enough.

And about the maven logo video at the beginning of the movie: it's the stupidest and most infantile thing I've ever witnessed. The whole release should be nuked for this shit.

Video - 8. It's pretty good, not grainy at all.
Audio - 8. A little low volume, but apart from that it's ok, not hollow
Movie itself - 6. The first 3/4 of the movie is incredibly boring, only in the end it starts to get interesting. I esp. liked the very ending (what happens right before the credits). I won't say what happens, see for yourself if you haven't yet.

All the actors apart from Henrikson suck big time. And the scenery is cheap, they must have shot the whole movie in some abandoned factory complex or something.

The computer effects are ok, but nothing special (the special effects are not so special lol ).

This is not a movie to be watched at the cinema, it's something for the video stores, to rent when you are bored. It's just too trashy. But then again, I'd say it's better than the Alien:Resurrection bullshit movie which sucked sucked sucked.

8/8/6

P.S. how comes the words on screen are always in french in Maven releases? So weird. All characters speak english, but everything that is written on screen is in french

Watch Alien 3, you'll find the alien takes on the traits of the dog (slight looks, movement etc..)

I like the way the film ties a lot up a few niggly queries from the first Alien film

I am guessing they film the film

from France/Canada and the audio comes from somewhere else, and with a few touchups and some work, they get it sync'd, and a good rel

Because that is where there source is, and they are not just an english scene release group. If you watch the intro movie on there releases it makes it more than obvious that they release in more than one language.

I'm also having probs with cd1, burned it and it locked up halfway thru, extracted the mpegs and put them on disk to play in standalone and cd1 still locked up, converted it to dvd with svcd2dvd and about 20mins dissapeared. Hopefully I can get around this. anyway from, what I have seen.
Video - 7 - It's a dark film, and dark films always look a bit 'offish' when it's a TS
Audio - 9 - Sounds almost perfect on 5.1 system
Movie - ??? not seen it all yet.

didn't you notice that every single text that ever got written onto the screen wasn't exactly in english?
and i'm not talking only about "prèdateur", i mean also "orbite basse terrestre" just a few seconds later and all the stuff like that when the scene change ("brise glace", "confidentielle" and some more i couldn't find)...

RETARD ALERT

[B]vcd contains errors, WMP doesn't jump forward/backward, returning errors. had to convert to mpeg2, de-multiplex the whole thing and then re-multiplex it properly. In fact, it was so broken, TMPGEnc wasn't even able to de-multiplex it properly, had to use Mpgtx. The groups will never learn They think testing in Windvd is enough.

And about the maven logo video at the beginning of the movie: it's the stupidest and most infantile thing I've ever witnessed. The whole release should be nuked for this shit.

Video - 8. It's pretty good, not grainy at all.
Audio - 8. A little low volume, but apart from that it's ok, not hollow
Movie itself - 6. The first 3/4 of the movie is incredibly boring, only in the end it starts to get interesting. I esp. liked the very ending (what happens right before the credits). I won't say what happens, see for yourself if you haven't yet.

All the actors apart from Henrikson suck big time. And the scenery is cheap, they must have shot the whole movie in some abandoned factory complex or something.

The computer effects are ok, but nothing special (the special effects are not so special lol ).

This is not a movie to be watched at the cinema, it's something for the video stores, to rent when you are bored. It's just too trashy. But then again, I'd say it's better than the Alien:Resurrection bullshit movie which sucked sucked sucked.

but I wonder where they get copies of movies that are in english, yet have french subs. I mean, if it's a version for the french or canadian market, then why is it still in English, apart from the words on screen? what's the purpose in translating the words on screen, yet leaving everything else in english?

Come on.. The video source comes from Canada ( I guess so, cause maVen releases are going fastly on the french scene, altough the audio is canadio-french ), but they add english DTS sound to release it on the US scene.. that's just it

tho 8/8/5, big dissapointment, where are the good ol' aliens movies..

I seriously doubt it, sorry :/

that'd be cool a canadian releaser, I hope they are

Posted by ^Om3n on 08-21-2004 02:15 PM:

Right, they use seperate DTS tracks i would assume, of course synced to the same video source.

Yes......It is French-Canadian

In Quebec you have to screen the english and the english/french subs. And thats for the people that want to know so bad!!

As far as the movie.....GREAT RELEASE!! No problem burning to disk....used vcdgear and nero ultra no prob....so if you have a prob look in the mirror cause the solution is closer than u think!!

Watched on a TV via standalone player. Haven't seen the film at the cinema.

Video a bit dark but it's only an issue in places. Audio a little out of sync, noticeable on cd1. Guy in baseball cap on-screen for a time and his head is just visible in the bottom right corner for a while, pretty annoying.

As an aliens fan I enjoyed the film, it's much better than the last two offerings. The only problem I really had with the plot was Weyland's apparent death; how the hell is he going to show up in Alien3 now? Here's hoping for a kick-ass AvP2 or AlienV... or both!

7/7/7.5

Keep 'em comming maven!

Posted by dos000 on 08-29-2004 05:33 PM:

Nice release, shame it's a dark movie, otherwise would have been excellent, 7/7/?

Posted by damitssam on 08-30-2004 04:46 AM:

video: 8
audio: 8
move: 6

Overall a good relase except just a little too widescreen and sux tht da movie wuz mostly dark. Plus tht guy who moves around on the bottom of the screen gets a little annoying.

Movie was ok. The plot was silly but took some imagination to get. propz on that.

too little fight scenes, i expected a little more.

Posted by oppman29 on 09-01-2004 09:41 AM:

sound kicks ass quality is ok movie went to the movies watch it but had to watch it again plain awesome

Posted by djj on 09-02-2004 02:59 PM:

Overall nice quality. Though I suppose video is a tad washed out or something... maybe not the right word to desrice but anyhow. Sound is excellent. Movie was watchable... but I'll probably watch it again once the DVD-rip is here.

8/9/6

I thought the movie was pretty much entertaining, in spite of a few crass moments - guy waiting on the mountain, handy emergency rockets on the sled etc.
Video and audio are just as expected from a maVen TS - damned decent!

being a fairly big aliens fan i allready set myself up for dissapointment after resurection seemed to kill the genre.
This movie is a complete no brainer, however it is fairly enjoyable and even though there is a distinct the lack of plot and the film has a 'rushed' ending you cant help but like it.
Is also begging for a sequel
as for the quality which i suppose i should review! then the video is fine.. only problem being it is dark but the film is dark and most TS will experience loos of picture quality in dark scenes. Audio is completely spot on IMO and could not be any better for a TS.
video: 8
Audio: 10
film: 7
