Reasonable audio. Super cropped. SVCD wasn't needed i think.

7/6/X


Posted by Steve-o on 08-11-2003 01:36 PM:

sample looks quite nice.. but as said before the sound is very high.. it crisps when they speak or to high music...


Posted by brr8760 on 08-11-2003 02:28 PM:

Based on CD2--> Super-sharp picture, hardly any motion blur, and it doesn't appear to get all funky color/tint-wise, like PIRATES. The picture is near-DVD like quality outdoors. Comparable to CTP's phenomenal work on IDENTITY and CONFIDENCE. On the downside: audio isn't on the same level, it's a bit tinny. Indoor scenes are a tad dark. And it's overly cropped. But.... the fantastic picture quality & speed of this release far outweigh any negatives. After a bunch of quality DVDRips, it's nice to see TcS taking a shot at a decent theatrical== hope to see more, guys!! (9/6/?)

Nice clarity but very cropped, very squished, lots of motion blur, and dull colors. Audio is audible but has some static to it. Decent job though but doesn't match up to today's SVCD TS standards. This is based on analyzing CD1 only. Movie sucked (watched it in theatres)... 5/6/7


Posted by rappa on 08-11-2003 03:12 PM:

Picture is ok, very cropped, seem liked they cropped to remove subs or something, idk, but the sound is very tinny, and the picture is dark with dull colors, as you see in the sample, when they are inside, you can't even see anything, will wait for another release.......6/6/x

Defenitly croped...nice audio tho..will be picking this one up..nice rls TcS

7/7/10


Posted by leaker on 08-11-2003 06:04 PM:

I really think that people should have the movie before making any comments.

The Picture Quality is Nice Comparable to other SVCD releases. Good Colors. Brightness is where is needed. A slight blur motion but its not bothersome. Audio is Okay.
Video is slightly cropped and there is no angle. Picture is slightly off the center but nothing to worry about.

VIDEO = 7.8
AUDIO = 6.0

Very watchable release.



Posted by SharkeysMachine on 08-11-2003 06:08 PM:

Sound is a bit tinny as stated above but is fine with some adjustments on the tv. Pic is very nice only real problem i had with it was the motion blur on cd1 (haven't made it through cd2 yet) Overall nice release good work guys...

8/7/?


Posted by xxdjs715xx on 08-11-2003 07:02 PM:

its not a bad ts , its just we all got spoiled to much by ctps high quality svcds,when a not familiar group does a good ts we all dont like it that much cuz its not high quality since were so use to getting high ass quality svcd ts ctp rips.

Anyone see what ive seen. Several times in this movie there is watermarks for the theater. marking which theater the copie belongs to. Looks like someones theater is going to have heavy security now.

If you dont believe when the go see the girl in the hospital watch for orange dot looking things. these are water marking for security.


Posted by flatland on 08-11-2003 08:04 PM:

is it just me or in the sample does it like kinda slow down for half a sec then go again...somthing with the frame rate? is the whole movie like this?

Quality is very good in my opinion. Crisp and nice colors. Dark scenes could be better but hell its a TS. Also audio is a little loud but through my headphones sound fine. Good release overall and stop rating by the name of the release group people.

8.5/7/10 (I loved the movie in theathers)

My sample wigged out, too, but the movie itself is fine. BTW, I thought losers like "dawizard" who vote 1/1/1 were going to be banned-- check his vote on this.


Posted by Rep- on 08-11-2003 08:18 PM:

Last CTP TS release was over 2 weeks ago so I wouldn't raise my hopes too high that they will release this. Hope they haven't retired again.

This release is watchable imo. 7/6/x


Posted by perfect10- on 08-11-2003 09:08 PM:

very squished, but overall great video quality.

audio is poor though. very poor.


Posted by ewfbootlegga on 08-11-2003 09:54 PM:

Just checked the whole first disc on my tv and audio is alot better then it sounds on my comp. My tv just has crappy built in speakers though so dunno if thats why it comes out alright.

8/8/10 now

About us being used to CTP releases..
Well since CTP has such good releases the other groups need to step up =) we should disreguard the name before judging too because i have seen higher than neccessary scores for CTP releases...when they didnt deserve that


Posted by r0b on 08-11-2003 10:39 PM:

Sample played fine for me. no wiggin out. The sound has a tiny bit of scratching noise coming from the center channel but very decent(maybe i have my shit hooked up wrong ) . anyways the movie was a little washed out but if it wasn't the night/dark scenes would be pitch black.


Posted by ewfbootlegga on 08-11-2003 11:11 PM:

Checked out the whole movie and my rating still stands. Don't know why this is deemed a mislabeled cam. Audio seemed direct enough.


Posted by xlsvcd on 08-12-2003 04:30 AM:

Its funny watching everyone rate this movie.

The video was very cropped on the top, bottom and the right side of the screen is cropped. The camera wasnt placed in the center of the screen. The aspect ratio is off so download the ESOTERiC copy for PROPER aspect ratio. Night scenes are bar scenes were really dark and the color wasnt the best. I adjusted the contrast, brightness and color on my TV for better picture. Now why couldnt TcS have done that in the first place? Colors were a bit washed out and it looked like it was too bright.

Audio sounded like it was recorded to high and you will get some static when the actors talk. On my standalone and my TV I had to keep turning the volume up and down because one scene would be super loud then when people talked it was low.

If this is a *Mislabeled Cam* then the ESOTERiC is a *Mislabeled Cam* as well because they used the same source which was a pdvd. I watched this release and I think it was a CAM as well because if the audio was direct, which I dont think it was, then they did a terrible job with that. Although I never heard any laughing or what not, but then again its not a comedy and it was so loud, we wouldnt hear the audience.

As for the movie, I thought the plot was pretty pathetic. Great acting, cast, character development and action sequences but overall they took a phrase and made it into a movie. 'I'll give $100 million to anyone who gets me out of here'.

So there you have it. Go ahead and flame me out because im a picky ass motherfucker, but im just telling you the truth

6/5/6

thats what i needed to know.. (great post btw)

this TCS release is 2.41:1.... it seems like groups are cropping just to simulate a proper aspect ratio...


Posted by alpha_code on 08-12-2003 04:48 AM:

Video: pretty good..little burry and faded at times but in general not bad for a cam.

Audio: is acceptable although a little tinny.

movie: good

7|6|8


Posted by yoda on 08-12-2003 06:43 PM:

Thumbs up Nice!

Not a bad release if you can handle the audio track Picture was a bit foggy and there were motion issues, but overall it is definitely watchable.

7.5/10 Video
6/10 Audio
? movie


Posted by tha_realist_one on 08-12-2003 07:01 PM:

great for a cam and rls time.......
8/10 video
8/10 audio - - - - - it's a cam!
haven't watched enough for a fair rating


Posted by nichead on 08-12-2003 09:35 PM:

You are a complete idiot if you give this a 8/8

If a DVD is 10 then this release is not an 8!!!
Seriously a VHS Screener with stereo audio would be 8.

Now let's see if we can make a fair score.

Video
Cropped picture: -3
Blurry: -1
Color Problems: -1
Darkness: -1
Total for video quality: 4 out of 10

Audio
Not digital surround: -3
(remember if DVD is 10 and will most likely have digital audio of some sort)
Crackle: -2
Total for audio quality: 5 out of 10


Okay I think even these scores are generous but seriously people THINK BEFORE YOU RATE!!! Just because a movie is out quick or it is your favorite movie that does not mean it deserves and extra rating for quality.


Posted by tha_realist_one on 08-13-2003 02:16 AM:

Your a complete idiot Mr. 2 posts!!
Why don't you read up on the forums before you go flaming you fuckin moron.
This is a CAM not sure if ya know what that means but...... all these rating are based on it being a CAM.
No one said I will never dl the dvd screener/screener because this is so incredible. Once again all these are based on it being a CAM rls dipshit.
Go to the home page and read up a little an what a CAM is and for that matter what all this is about. Bcause based on your reply you have know idea what you are talkin about, and YOU look like a complete idiot. Then come back and post you ignorant fuck.
All you people are like "dl the esoteric for proper aspect ratio" the ESOTERiC is missing 20 minutes of the fucking ending!!!!!!!!!


Posted by DrKupo on 08-13-2003 04:05 AM:

7.0 For video - Its good, but it has some heads in it, and who is that guy at the end who stands up?

5.0 For audio - Not good, not good at all.

Legit review

***********************************
* AFTER WATCHING THIS WHOLE REALESE *
***********************************

OK guys, i have sat though all the rls of this movie
and this one is for shure the best. People are rating it very harsh. Its got decent color and was cammed decently, the audio all though not the best, is certainatly up 2 par with other cams we have seen. If ur gonna get a rls get this one hands down it wins.
THIS QUALITY IS GREAT. And i am seroius. ITs most deff watchable.


Posted by syxx2001 on 08-13-2003 09:59 AM:

i was wondering...if this is a cam, why weren't there any crowd noises? coughing, sniffs, etc. and where were the howls when ll took his shirt off, i thought chicks dug that stuff. ah well.

Out of syned for me! Picture is ok, audio is horrible!

7/4/-


Posted by the_Emperor on 08-14-2003 05:50 PM:

just to throw my 2 cents in

i thought it was good, i burned the movie to a dvd-r. played on my aspire 1100, recorded on my panasonic.

video was clean

audio was clear, not perfect, but good nonetheless

very respectable release

7/7/9


Posted by KrackZaa on 08-15-2003 08:58 PM:

seriously to the guy who wants to rate cams on the same scale as dvds, you have to be kidding me. how many times must it be said to rate this as a ts/cam 1-10 scale. obviously dvdrips are going to be better than a ts, no shit its not going to have surround sound you fucking idiot... why do you post here without at least reading up a little... now for this release, does seem squashed, but is highly watchable, sound is fine on my tv and pic is good too. i noticed one small skip/stall on cd1, thats it. Hoping for tcf or ctp to release this, but i dont know.

7.5/8.5(cam rating)/only watched cd1 so far...

Posted by WRFan on 08-16-2003 12:37 AM:

I guess it was labelled cam, because of the audio. Well, I actually tend to disagree. true, audio sux, but I could understand everything pretty well (english is not my mother tongue). with these releases recorded in the cinema it's not about good sound, if you want good audio quality, ac3 or whatever, wait till the dvdrip. otherwise just enjoy it.

Anyway, I give 8 for video and 5 for audio.

The movie itself is one of the worst I've ever seen - no wonder, it was made by the people who made "the fast and the furious", as far as I know. totally stupid, unrealistic and boring. I nearly fell asleep. The evil guys are as evil as my grandma. They are ridiculous, not evil.

The only reason to watch the movie might be Collin Farrell's presence.

btw, a very important reason NOT to watch the movie (apart from its stupidity) is the presence of Michel Rodriguez, or whatever this stupid bitch is called. She is not only an extremely bad actress and extremely dumb, what is even worse, she looks like SHIT! Who put her in the movie? She was shitty in Resident evil and she was shitty in this movie. And if she ever acts again, she won't be any better.

So if you wanna spend 10 hours downloading the movie to be bored by it for 2 hours, go ahead and download. I suggest however, to switch off the monitor and the loudspeakers while playing the movie. This way you won't have to endure Rodriguez' stupid face and the stupid story.

0 for the script and 0 for the camera work. and 0 for originality - every single scene is stolen from other movies - "Speed" and others. Kill the script writer, kill the camera man and kill the girl!

8/5/1 (I give 1 for Collin Farrel's presence; subjective opinion, of course. imho, in other words).


Posted by AC Slater on 08-17-2003 12:20 AM:

7/6/8.5

Video is good but audio is annoying in a few parts. Overall it's a decent release and the movie was much better than I was expecting.


Posted by lickmyzack on 08-18-2003 08:13 AM:

Watched this release and it's not as bad as others have posted, aspect ratio is a bit off, video is decent.. audio while DIRECT could have been alot better, definetly watchable.
I enjoyed the movie, it's worth watching.

8/6/9


Posted by Big Al on 08-19-2003 12:22 AM:

Very watchable, pic and audio was ok for me on my Dvd and TV, AR is a bit out but I can live with it

This release was a very good one...CAM?!

Couldn't tell by me.

Nice!


Posted by Wheely on 08-22-2003 08:37 PM:

Nice rls by TcS, very watchable and overall pretty good.
Pic and audio are ok. Looks and sounds fine through bigscreen and stereo system. Slight hiss in sound on some highs but bearalbe.

Overall,

7/7/9


Posted by sarasara on 08-23-2003 04:51 PM:

i just watched this last night - this was a good movie and it is indeed very watchable - surprised me at the end of the movie when that guy stood up to go home - nice cam work guys!!

Posted by BestBoot on 08-28-2003 10:08 AM:

Video: 7 Very Watchable
Audio: 7 it sounds okay
Movie: 8 i had a great time watching it
worth the download


Posted by platinum_bomb on 09-01-2003 11:42 AM:

7/5/N.A

i didnt watch all of it just cd1.

My overall impression was that the vid was clearer then ESO's version, but sound was awful for a fast-paced movie like this, and it definitely wasn't anything better then what one get off a cam mic.
