Watched this all the way through. Nice but unless i'm wrong *scratches head* DVD Screeners dont have reel change burns.

I'd peg this as a VERY good TC.

Credits are all there. This is the one to get folks

V : 9.5
A : 9.5

Awesome!
Don't know how you did it but a beautiful release

V = 9.5
A = 9.5
M = 9.5

This is THE one to grab!


Posted by slapper on 08-05-2007 12:55 PM:

Word is they grabbed this of torrent, but I guess no one cares really..
Have to agree, this is is an outstanding TC, cigar burns all the way.
Never heard of scr having burns, but there has always got to be a first time for everything.

Will rate as a TC
vid nice, 9, or even 10
audio seems nice on heapdhones
movie is ok. Second watch it isn't as funny anymore


Posted by imanewbie on 08-05-2007 01:05 PM:

Great release for one so early!

Rated as DVDSCR
Video: 7.5
Audio: 9
Movie: 9.555 (Watched it again!)

Rated as Telecine
Video: 9.5
Audio: 9.5
Movie: 9.555 (Watched it again!)

After saying this, I don't download Xvid's anymore unless they are telesyncs. In Off-Peak download time i'm going to download "The.Simpsons.Movie.DVDSCR.DVDR-mVs"
Quality is so much better than this!

i also picked up on the cue marks throughout as well as the slight blockiness & greyness of the side bars in the opening few minutes which led me to believe this wasn't really a DVDScr.
Still, by far the best quality we've got so far, great colours & clarity, audio seems all good too. Excellent stuff...

Posted by cragllo on 08-05-2007 02:43 PM:

V: 8 Great quality, but looks jagged, the DVDR mVs also released does not have this problem... Source is possibly the DVD they used to show the movie at Comic-Con leaked?
A: 9 Awesome and clear
M: 9 Been waiting all my life for this movie, more or less... well worth the wait.

Posted by KrackZaa on 08-05-2007 03:14 PM:

what do you think a dvdscr is people, its done the same way as a bootleg telecine, so the argument that simply because it has cig burns it cannot be a dvdscr is false (if you dont believe me check out the texas chainsaw massacre dvdscr from a few years ago, cig burns all over it but it was a studio source). all it could mean is that they rushed this scr out, that being said it could still be a telecine... just dont say it cant be a dvdscr cuz of cig burns.

edit::

there is a foxint watermark its hard to see but its there, its a foreign dvdscr and the foreign studio rushed the process, so it has cig burns and looks like a pirate tc.

Posted by Striped on 08-05-2007 05:47 PM:

I'm amazed fox has made a dvdscr of this so early the watermark looks fake too

Quality wise its great for a week after the release, movie was a big dissapointment though.

Lets keep this simple. This rls is from studio source. It is not
uncommon to find cig burns from reel changes on dvd scr sources and
there has never been a telecine available with in house watermarks.


Looks great to me, not quite dvdscr quality but who cares.


Posted by alkamist on 08-05-2007 07:07 PM:

this was a really good movie dvd scr, or ts, but there is a watermark in the lower right cornor FOXINT every 20-40 mins..

19:39 is one of the watermarks, really light but not noticiable

i beleve i seen 1 cig burn it was like there for 1/2 sec..

LOL yeah right MVS just cause you add a fake watermark doesn't excuse the fact you forgot to remove one of the sets of piracy dots only found on cinema 35mm. http://i12.tinypic.com/66e7pys.jpg
Better luck next time.

This is still a solid rls though, 9/9/7


Posted by aWe on 08-05-2007 08:42 PM:

Mislabeled Tc, but great nonetheless

8/8/6 - Solid release

My question then -- if this is a TC then why is there no subtitles during Santa's Little Helper's lines? They would be burned in if it were a TC which leads me to believe this really is a DVDSCR.....

I first saw this in the cinema, and for the life of me i cant remember if there were lines there at all... maybe there were but it doesn't stand out. Maybe if someone refreshed me what he said?

well i am new to all this Malarkey so can not rate it as a dvd scr or anything for that matter but why this is nuked i dont know, i have watched it all the way through and cannot fault it, it would be nice to see a few more "dvd scr" with this quality

for whatever format it is

v:9
a:9
m:10 thats just my preference


Posted by Boo Yakka on 08-05-2007 09:47 PM:

The simple fact is people. If it was a Tele-cine from Cinema Reels it would have the subtitles on it. So don't all be pretending to know what you're talking about. You all clearly don't.

V-9
A-9
M-10+ Excellent Simpsons. Laughed my a$$ off all the way through.


Edit*

The bits missing the subs should read:

For the animals sequence in Alaska....

and what Santa's Little Helper say's....

THIS IS NOT A MISLABELED TC!

the studio just didn't clean up the film completely because... its a dvdscr (duh). its not ment to be seen by the public and the movie just came out so they are not worried about a burn mark.
the AC3 audio also kinda gives it away. oh and the 2.9xGB dvdr they released.

video: 10
audio: 10
movie: 9


Posted by aXs-SVCD on 08-06-2007 12:01 AM:

this release is good enough for now

Posted by Aphlikxion on 08-06-2007 12:38 AM:

I'm sort of confused. I just found this site the other day on accident, so I'm new to this place.

Anyway, here's my question: I see all these movies, and sample pictures so that you can see how the quality is before you download it... I get that. What I don't get is how you actually find where you can download the movie from... I see this movie, and few other that I want, but I have no idea where to find them... Can I download them off of here, or does it say somewhere exactly where to go to download these?!

-Aphlikxion

:MOD EDIT: ..this is your first and last warning. The rules (which you obviously didn't bother reading) state that asking where to download files is a no-no. We don't offer movies, we review the releases. -V


Posted by yukichigai on 08-06-2007 12:56 AM:

I'll rate the movie, but lemme hypothesize here for a minute.

Personally, my guess is that the source mVs used did come on a DVD. Given the quality of the video it isn't hard to see why a casual viewer might think it's an actual DVD SCR. I suspect that mVs simply scanned through randomly to make sure audio was in sync rather than watching the whole film start to finish, hence why they didn't notice the cig burns or any of the other "identifying" markers that indicate this is a TC of some variety.

Now, as to what this is... my guess is, honestly, an R5 that originally had forced (but not hardcoded) subs, hence why the bits with the birds and SLH aren't subtitled. If it's not an actual R5 (i.e. not russian) then it's some equivalent. Clearly the video is transfered from film, but it's done at a professional level. The audio doesn't show any of the obvious markers that indicate transcoded AC-3 audio, which makes me pretty certain it originated from the studio.

There's one other, very obscure possibility based on the screen Grim posted, that being a DVD meant for use in a private or semi-private theater that uses all digital equipment. (The kind some hollywood producer/writer/etc. might have, though the PAL format video makes me pretty sure it isn't from hollywood) That would explain the "piracy dots", warning screen and even the cig burns being present on a DVD, as all can be used to identify the originating copy fairly definitively.

Anyway, enough pointless speculation, on to the rating. Rating as a TC...

Video - 9.8: Absolutely stunning. No funky colors, no scratches, dust, or noise (even block noise) in the picture. Indistinguishable from a DVD save for the piracy dots, one-frame watermarks and cig burns. I do have to deduct 0.2 points for not having subtitles for the two subtitled jokes (the birds and Santa's Little Helper).

Audio - 9: Some of the effects are out of phase, so the left and right channels occasionally cancel each other out. (or at least cancel the sound effect out when it's played on a mono or center channel speaker) It's sped up due to it being a PAL transfer, but I'm not deducting points for that since it appears to be a studio transfer. Other than that it's great audio.

Movie - 8: I've already reviewed it once in the Pukka TS thread, so I'll be simple and to the point: moments of unbridled hilarity broken by longer periods of "just normal" funny. Very entertaining and a worthwhile way to spend roughly 90 minutes. I hope to see more Simpsons movies in the future.


Bottom Line: Screw the nuke, get this release. If mVs had called this an R5 (a lie, probably) nobody would have been the wiser, which just goes to show how retarded the scene gets sometimes. It's a great release, easily mistaken for DVD quality. Until the retail DVD is released you won't find a better copy out there. (Probably; you can never be too sure what some enterprising pirate will get their hands on next)


Posted by Johnny Tightlips on 08-06-2007 02:56 AM:

Why would this be an R5 when it has not come out in Russia yet. Opening day in Russia is in 2 weeks.


As TC:

V - 9
A - 8
M - 9

Congratulations

I felt the need to post on this release.
I think even nuking this is purely technical.
Even if it's not a DVDSCR, it is at least is WORTH that.
mVs, you guys have cemented yourselves in history with this one. Well done

Posted by nwoidaho on 08-06-2007 07:41 AM:

This release originated as a FRENCH-DVDSCR that happened to be captured from FILM to a digital format. It was run into a telecine machine AND/OR captured from the source, IE FOX, explaining the tags in the lower left hand corner.

Audio is perfectly clear, English AC3, Stereo audio. I had to strip, re-code the audio to .ogg, boost 6db and re-mux to get a clean, in-sync picture with the audio.

V:9.5 Besides the ciggy burns where the reel changes we're in the FILM, it's 100 Percent solid.

A:7...(8.5 After Edit Fix)

I had to play with it to get a good, full sounding track.

M: 9.9 Funnier than all hell, Great Flick! Almost a 10!

Video - 8/10 - could pass as a DVDScr (Rip). I could see the now and then cig burns on the screen though.
Audio - 9/10 - no problems, sounded great
Movie - 6/10 - pretty funny movie. I enjoyed watching it but I don't think I'd sit through it all again.

V - 10
A - 10
M - 6.5: The movie is on par with the show now, its not as funny as it used to as it now relies on cheap jokes but whatever.

Definetly a great release.

Posted by lakaw on 08-08-2007 07:01 AM:

audio

I haven't heard anyone bring this up, which makes me wonder if I did something wrong, but wasn't the audio REALLY low? I had to turn my TV's volume up almost to full volume to hear it normally. Other than that, the quality is great.


Posted by The Punisher on 08-11-2007 11:55 AM:

You'r right, the audio was far to low, and I thought the picture was faded, not much colour saturation.

V: 7 Turn TV colour up
A: 6 Turn TV vol up full
M: 7 A long TV episode

Posted by TheDA on 08-13-2007 10:01 AM:

Video: Color is a bit faded and the picture is a bit blurry. Can't really complain though because it's only been a week since it was released. Besides, KMPlayer easily fixed the color problem.

Audio: Superb, although a bit low. Had to crank up the volume to hear the quiet bits.

Movie: LOL
