8/8/?

edit:
the jpeg u posted looks a bit stretched like ar is bad, but actual mpeg sample isn't


Posted by UnForGiveN on 12-27-2003 01:44 AM:

Decent release.. Video a little foggy but nice pic.
audio was decent.

7/7/?


Posted by sYph0n on 12-27-2003 01:50 AM:

this stretched jpeg pic is "normal". ntsc svcd format is 480x480 and if u open it in a player that DOES NOT handle this file automatically as a svcd like PowerDVD or so, it shows this movie in 480x480. a quadratic image. Windows Media Player for example does so.

Chess anyone?


Posted by Bradleyko on 12-27-2003 02:39 AM:

video is quite sharp little grey haze over it if u will nothing bad

audio is pretty good little noisey but good.

dont be deceived by the jpg it looks nothing like that stretched AR look it imposes


8/7/?


Posted by Air1 on 12-27-2003 02:47 AM:

bah... from sample:

mega motion blur... very hallowed audio... hazy/blurry as all get-out picture and seems 'dull'...

7/7

it is watchable but not deserving these 8's i see everyone giving it.


Posted by lemon-lime29 on 12-27-2003 02:52 AM:

i definately think that the audio kick ass compared to the other release that is out there.

The video looks good, but your right it's a little blocky. One thing i did notice was that the movie was like 113 minutes.

they had to strech their cd-r's to the max. So i guess that would explain why the bitrate is low....

overall i think it looks pretty decent...

8/8/x


Posted by markyell on 12-27-2003 03:24 AM:

Lets Quick playin around wit "paycheck" such a wonderful movie and just release a good quality rls...

+markyell


Posted by Ibegoat on 12-27-2003 05:06 AM:

The reason its so blurry is because it seems zoomed in alot, some scenes have chopped off heads and such. Other than that a good TS.


6/7/?

Ok, first off, this copy is not MUCH better than mpt's release, but indeed it is a proper (in my eyes and ears at least). Havent watched this full release yet, but honestly if you have mpt's release, u could stick with that. Screener might not be too far away.

:::JUDGING BY SAMPLE ONLY:::
video - 7.5 (colors are fine, but a bit fuzzy)
audio - 8 (good sound, but not perfect)
movie - 9

::EDIT::

ok, ALMOST burned cd1, but i figured fuck it, ill convert to mpg and check it real quick .... and what did i find out ............. EXACTLY THE SAME SOURCE AS MPT'S RELEASE!!!!
Thats just gay. If uve already d/led it, do what i did. Watch THP's on the comp, and watch mpt's on your tv, and u will notice every sound glitch, and people walkin over the video, are exactly the same on both releases.


Posted by crackerjax on 12-27-2003 06:41 AM:

Thumbs up

thank god for at least a release I watched ... good video (ok, a little hazy) and nice audio ... but other than that, good proper ... thanks for a watchable release ...

8-8-8


Posted by xboxfanz on 12-27-2003 07:52 AM:

Good relase. I hope to see more from VCD from you guys.

8/7.5/7


Posted by lemon-lime29 on 12-27-2003 09:06 AM:

how can this be nuked.... the audio sounds better

and the video looks better in many spots...

maybe they got the source legit... people def think it looks better than MPT...

i dont think it should be nuked at all.. but that's my .02$

MPT is just jealous that someone made a release better than theirs.... lol


Posted by 459 on 12-27-2003 09:51 AM:

What a SHAME! Shame Shame Shame on the group! That's bad for the rep. for the group.

Posted by Hrrrm on 12-27-2003 11:36 AM:

any of you two have thought that mpt doesnt go shoot stuff in the movies themselves ?
just a thought for the ignorants

So, it's bad for a group to take a movie and make it better, to give it better sound, and to call it a "proper" ... Hrm, I wonder what other groups do to make their stuff proper?

still the best release out there, haven't seen it nuked anywhere but here yet ... this will be the release I keep until dvd comes ... thanks ThP, looks like this vcd thing might be something I can get used to

(I voted before) ... still good to me!


Posted by villanovax on 12-27-2003 04:59 PM:

Though there are other possibilities, that possibly both were silvers, they bought the same, thp did a better job ripping it, and released it as proper? I mean, there are more possibilities?


Posted by Premiere on 12-27-2003 05:20 PM:

sucks ass verry blury and grainy. audio is good b ut still hollow. sounds like the audio was run through some filters then multiplexed back together with video. And to top it off they stole the source from another group. 5/6/8



NUKED!

Posted by Spunko on 12-28-2003 01:02 PM:

Watched this one last night and have to say I enjoyed it a hell of a lot more than I thought it would.

Sound is a bit fuzzy in places but nothing major, apart from the fuck up on cd1 for about 20 seconds. Video is nice enough too apart from the fact that a lot of it is missing due to too much zoom. Watchable overall tho and very enjoyable.

6/6/8


Posted by DonMega on 12-28-2003 08:27 PM:

Have not Watched the movie all the way but it seems good. Video quality is ok but not spectacular. Heads and other body parts are cut off. Very good for a TS though. Audio is way better.

7/8/?


Posted by M112_04 on 12-28-2003 08:42 PM:

A WASTE OF BANDWIDTH

This is a bunch of crap....this is the same mpt version with cropped ends...with the shadow of the head cropped off..and a little better sound just louder..a million m.f'n people still getting there ass up during the movie..its fu.king annoying...and the movie is zoomed to hell it hellified close up and big... this isn't a real proper it sucks too...but its the only one..since no one can get the inferno version

video 4...its still a bunch of crap, cropped and zoomed in too damn far cutting out major parts of the movie.alot of camera movement for 3mins and 44 seconds on cd1's intro and people running to there seats..
audio 6 ..its better but still static and a bad an annoying hiss..and when in stereo sounds like a echo and a spring popping..when they talk..
overall...5..this movie deserves better I'll wait on a proper proper, and real proper or a screener...either way this sucks.


Posted by KrackZaa on 12-29-2003 01:13 AM:

i dunno if its stolen or not, not having viewed mpts, but i must say this is pretty good. the video is a little blocky, but very clear, and the sound is pretty good too. burnt it, figure ill watch this john woo "classic" (haha).

7.5/7.5

Posted by MTV on 12-29-2003 04:50 PM:

Any i that makes a rls better for others to watch gets my vote !

7.5 / 8 / 8


Posted by Beaver35 on 12-29-2003 05:20 PM:

How can you give this 7's and 8's for video

If they stood still the picture is a 9 but the minute they move it's all blurry.....I agree it's nice picture but there is to much action and it goes pixelation way to much......

5/7/7...........


Posted by reverend on 12-29-2003 07:00 PM:

There is just too much zoom for this to be a viable option. Looking forward to catching this one way or another....John Woo and Philip K. Dick can't be a bad combination....


Posted by Sylv3r on 12-29-2003 07:29 PM:

I enjoyed the movie but my advice to you people if you want to watch this movie wait for a better version as this one has a lot of people walking in front of the camera plus it is cropped either side of the screen so a lot of the film is missed off.

Video: 5
Audio: 7
Overall: 6.5


Posted by teegee420 on 12-29-2003 10:28 PM:

Based on cd1, heavily pixelates durring high motion scenes. No point watching an action flick like this. Audio seems decent enough. I'm waiting for a better release before I watch the film.

Video- 5
Audio- 7
Movie- ?


Posted by -=[Z on 12-29-2003 10:38 PM:

ummkay

Think this release should be nuked as the video is zoomed in too much and misses quite a bit of the screen. Dunno if there was some big fat @$$ dude in the way or what.

Nxt time you watch a movie try covering a 3rd of the tele up and watching it, he he

Video quality is good, audio isnt to bad (could be better)

7/6/9


Posted by shark on 12-30-2003 01:33 AM:

utter crap, movie included, only redeeming feature is audio is clear for most of the feature except the end when the cammer decides to fiddle with the jack plug on his audio feed. bad zoom, horrendous artifacts on video, overlong movie - don't waste your time or your creds. 3/5/4

sheep nuke or not...source could be the same due to the same silver or the same video source...either way, the audio is way better than the previous rlses and the video is bout the same...who gives a shit, looked good enough for my family..heh

anyhow...
giving a 5 for video...
a 7/8 for audio, there are some parts that are just really good
and 7 for the plot/movie, i liked it, but kinda got flashbacks of
total recall...its not a TUMOR!!!


Posted by GeNeTiX on 12-31-2003 01:39 AM:

anyone notice the audio on this is 192k non svcd compliant
it says right in the NFO for crying out loud
i checked it in virtualdub and vcdeasy, and sure enough the sample is 192k. is the entire release?
if not, why no samplefix?
::I have been corrected by a knowledgeable source that the 192 audio is ok, as its VCD that is 224 standard, not SVCD, that can vary, so nevermind!::

Great movie, but crappy release. Cropped to shit on both sides. Video is clear, audio is good except for one little part where it screws up and repeats, but this is the worst crop job i have ever seen.
Video - 8 very clear
Audio - 7 one little problem, no big deal
Movie - 9 great movie


Posted by lickmyzack on 12-31-2003 08:09 AM:

Watched this over the weekend...nice decent picture and audio, and I enjoyed the movie.. however watch out because "Heads are a poppin" in this one.... I think out of this past years releases this one has the most head shots/people walking across the screen.. and at one point you can even see someone putting on their jacket.

7/7/8

LMZ


Posted by thebmano1 on 12-31-2003 03:37 PM:

this ia a croc of shit . i would not have bothered if i had of known that hurman was in this film. who is hurman i here u say. its actually means urma thurman but that much is missing from the left it says
hurman. also the solomon produc it says on the right should say production. and if thats no bad enough the cammer has one hell of a shaking problem a the start of the movie . one of the bonuses is there
r more stars in this movie than u think. im not sure of his name but he can be seen putting his jacket on at the end of the movie and a few shots of top of his head during it. is he a star or is he just paid in to a movie house and made his first film debut , not even knowen hes been seen all over the world and got paid jack shit for it. now for the good bits movies not bad

4/4/7


Posted by garvey100 on 01-01-2004 04:22 AM:

Good enough release..........anyone who has seen the film Cypher will see this as too similar for comfort though.

7/7/5(too similar to another recent film)


Posted by Dupey on 01-01-2004 06:20 PM:

i watched the mpt release, just to see the move. this release though wasnt any better. if you cat wait, either will do. as for a TS it could be better.

6/7/8

Cool Just My Two Cents...

This is one of the worse cams i've ever had the displeasure of downloading.

Audio = 7 - The audio leaves a little to be desired but for being a cam it's actually pretty good. There were a few hisses here and there but overall it was nice.

Video = 4 - This is where I critique the most. Audio is just if i can hear it. But video I have many more prerequisites and this one failed them all. Blockiness, shakey camera for a couple minutes, ghosting, and this movie added another one.... NO SCREWUPS like having to watch 30-45 seconds of a movie again because somehow, somewhere, it got repeated for some reason. I only saw one other person complain about this but I had it too. I know you cant control peoples actions but for christs sake there were so many people getting up and down I was yelling at the damn monitor. One guy gets up to put on his coat and blocks some of the movie. If you got this kind of quality CAM video wise and you are gonna release it and try to make a name for yourself... PAY THE SEVEN DOLLARS TO FILM IT AGAIN!! Either that or just dont release the damn thing.

Movie = 7 - This probably would be a point higher if the video didn't aggravate me so much but a point would be max. Good movie, better than I expected though like someone else said here it did remind me of "Total Recall" and "The Bourne Identity" with Ben's close friend Matt playing lead role. I reccomend seeing this movie but urge you to wait for a better release.

Overall and in sumation - 7/4/7


Posted by Thorn Badhouse on 01-14-2004 04:47 PM:

Wow.. could they have cropped the screen anymore?

I also had a part that repeats, right where Affleck mets Thurman, it repeats the scene and screws up the audio track.

The audio was fine for what it is.

The movie was junk.. 3yrs in a lab and suddenly he's an expert motorcycle rider.. and like in many movies, the baddies are the worst shots ever and the cops can't drive for crap.

Imaginitive idea with poor implementation.

IMHO, they should not have released this cam.

Vid/Aud/Movie
4/7/4

Vid gets a 4, because even though it was clear, the cropping was just too much and people in the way is a no-no for a release.


Posted by BLUE-NEO on 01-25-2004 10:16 AM:

this is the same source as the cam version and is still terrible..hopefully someone will bring a better version..

2/2/?
