This should be nuked for bad A/R. It's encoded as 4:3 when it should be 16:9. If you watch it on your PC and change the aspect ratio, it looks fine. Same thing goes for watching it on a widescreen television. Otherwise it's unwatchable. I'm not sure they needed to blur out that whole chunk of the screen for the watermark either -- looks like sheer laziness to me. Other than that, it's clearly a DVD source... audio seems fine too.

A: 10
V: 5
M: ?

The only reason I'm giving it a 5 for video is because it's a nice picture quality. If you go through the process of reencoding it with the correct A/R, you only have to contend with that horribly blurred s/n or counter, which is in a place where I've never seen one before.

haha... i swear some people are just so ungrateful... lets remember this movie has only been out alittle over a week and we already have a dvd copy out! Anyhow, there is a blur in the middle of the left side of the screen.. covering the source, but otherwise this is perfect for me and I can get over it quickly!
Video: 9.5
Audio:10
Movie: ?

Posted by defserv on 10-09-2005 05:54 AM:

Bad A/R of course.. Counter which was over blurred but we can all get over that.. Nice and fast dvd source!

Video: 8
Audio: 10
Movie: 6

Video got 8 for obviousy reasons..

Posted by Dspot on 10-09-2005 06:53 AM:

I was happy to see this released, great video and audio. too bad about the ar, but that was easily fixed. The blur or the serial wasnt that bad you get used to it. The movie was a huge disappointment though. I thought it sucked. I expected much more from it. Anyway very nice quick release, pls keep it up prevail.

8/9/4

ungrateful ? had any other group got this same source they would have blurred the serial rather then put a huge black box blocking it , and the AR which is clearly noticeable as fucked would have been fixed. Bigtime out of sync 80% the way through the movie. Also this is DVDScreener ??? For DVD Source it looks VHS Source ...

Great Effort Source , newb group.

4/8/?

prevail are obviously just lazy. even a 7 year old could tell this picture aint right. as for the blur on the watermark, well fair enough. ive never seen a watermark in the middle of the screen before but there you go.

video - 7 (bad a.r. and blur obstructing picture)
audio - 9
movie - 9

Posted by AssKing on 10-09-2005 10:50 AM:

Beautiful, this is what I've been waiting for, DVD screener releases. The aspect ratio is obviously fucked, but I only watch them on my PC and then delete them (Sin City was the only thing I ever burned so I could watch it over and over), so no biggie for me.

9/10/8

Posted by mrdog on 10-09-2005 01:29 PM:

This really isn't that bad quality!!! Very watchable, worth da dl!!!

Posted by mrdog on 10-09-2005 01:34 PM:

Don't know much bout video/audio encoding...can anyone recomend a good place 4 nfo? Would like 2 learn so I know ? I'm talkin bout when viewing shitty video/audio. Thanx n advance

Posted by gromit05 on 10-09-2005 01:56 PM:

has any1 burned this to dvd and found this out of sink or is it just me

8/8/? watch it if i can get it in sync

Posted by shaunaldo on 10-09-2005 02:27 PM:

nope goes out of sync! but only slightly will be a bitch to get right as the first 20 odd mins are fine!

Posted by GringoStarr on 10-09-2005 02:30 PM:

If I were going to put this to disc how would I fix the A/R issue?

I'm talking hyperthetically of course. :P

Cheers.

Yeah your right about the aspect ratio and stuff film itself def worth the watch but along with the bad ar def sync issues after 18 mins or so still watchable funny when the guy punches another then second later out comes the sound affects lol

V6/A5/7

Posted by hairless69 on 10-09-2005 11:02 PM:

Not bad but what the hell is that blur in the middle of the screen? Isn't that shit usually in the corner? Very strange..

Posted by BoxyBrown on 10-09-2005 11:17 PM:

Nice quality A/V. AR is annoying but correctable. The real problem is the audio going out of sync

8/8/? if the audio didn't slip

Posted by dontbegay on 10-10-2005 12:28 AM:

watched the actual full rls tonight, goes out of sync.

props to prevails source but sorry, prevail fucked it up. after about 25 mins the audio goes out of sync.

losers.

Posted by exprog on 10-10-2005 03:52 AM:

Comments are accurate...Aspect Ratio, blur on left center of screen, and a sync problem 20 minutes into the film. Video is as good as can be. Good release!! Too bad so many are so ungratefull.

Posted by JinX on 10-10-2005 12:28 PM:

Good job for an early release, but maybe a bit rushed!
AR is out as the nuke says. Audio is out of sync. Horrible blur to obscure the counter on the middle left of the picture, very noticable. Don't know what would be worse, the blur or the counter?

V - 5 -Bad AR/ blurred out counter. Otherwise good.

A- 6 -Would have been nice except for the lip sync.

M - ? -Decided not to watch, will wait for better copy. Looks good though

not wanting to sound ungratefull but seriously, whats the point in a film that has audio out of sync with video unless you spend an hour or so fixing it yourself.

all well and good getting a good source but to then fuck it up by rushing it out is just lazy, stupid, gay and lame.

Posted by korax on 10-10-2005 06:52 PM:

WOW post something thats worth posting not the same junk over and over again. How bad is the audio sync problem.

If you can't change the aspect ratio yourself before you burn it then you really have no place here. I mean how fucking lame can you be?

10/10/10 You don't get anymore perfect than this (I'm a fan David C. Big fan)

This is one of the best releases of a wide released mainstream movie within a week of it's release in a long time.

I don't get why this is getting rated so well.
Picture and audio are nice but, How do you release something when then audio goes out of sync for 75% of the movie.

I would rather have tin can sound then have it be out if sync. The over blur was enough but out the two together and you make it not enjoyable at all.

thanks for tryin

Well, It's a shame about the sync and the dodgy aspect ratio(I dont care anyway as it's not a problem on a widescreen tv). This could have been pretty good, however there is a divx video logo that pops up from time to time making this a re-encode, and after looking at the audio sync prob for a while to see if I could fix it, it seems to me that it's not actually a bog standard sync problem, but the problem is with the soundmix of the source (some people will be in sync, whilst sfx and other people will be out slightly) so I doubt we will se a repack of this one. anyway as for ratings
Video: 8 - Pretty good for a re-encode of divx source
Audio: 6 - Good and clear but the sound mix is dodgy
Movie: ? - Not watched fully yet.

HLS have taken this source and fixed the sound and AR problems

very good quality would have been 9/9 if not for the blurred serial and audio going out of sync. Very very good movie IMO.

Not that bad. It goes out of sync briefly about 20 minutes into the movie but fixes itself after that. It is not out of sync for 75% of the movie as someone posted.

The blur isn't a big deal either. You get used to it after a few minutes and the counter wasn't blurred for aesthetics, it was done to protect PreVail's source. Other than that, the video quality is excellent. Considering that this movie just went into wide theatrical release a couple of weeks ago, this is a great release.

I don't get how some people will praise the shit outta some dark, piece of shit cam just because "it's great quality for a cam" while a release this good causes so much nitpicking.

Posted by kingcyrus on 10-14-2005 12:57 AM:

7/6/6.5

out of sync at a couple scenes into the movie.

the timer blur isn't even noticable, plus if you take in IT HAS to be blured out, then its acceptable and shouldnt affect the rating.

Posted by rudders on 10-14-2005 11:31 AM:

sync problem - didn`t notice it meself
blur problem - only a real problem on about 5 ocassions , and then it`s only for a matter of Seconds , other than that you soon get used to it
Aspect Ratio - didn`t alter mine and had no problems

just call me greatful
