Finally a descent release 7/7/? Nice Job CTP


Posted by sirghost on 04-05-2003 04:32 AM:

AR is a bit off, but all else is typical TS quality..at least from the sample


Posted by Air1 on 04-05-2003 04:34 AM:

7? are you serious? i just watched the sample and the angle is intense... very poor. motion blur seems to be worse than the ctp releases as of late.

6/7/x

audio is pretty good though.


Posted by /^/-Flikz-\^\ on 04-05-2003 04:35 AM:

Good job Centropy, but the picture stretch is rediculous. Should of wide screened this one.... sound is descent though 5/7/8 (pretty good flick)


Posted by rappa on 04-05-2003 04:40 AM:

wow u guys r still bitching bout the angle, have u guys NEVER fuckign sat in the front row? god damn such a bunch of whiners for sumtin thats free. The sharpness/colors is still better then ANY ts out and the sound is fine 7/9/x all the other rls' sucked so ill grav this 1 and rate movie later.

Flix - 6

Wow i never knew John Travolta had that long of a face, If it wasn't for the VERY bad angle this TS would be awesome, but that kinda ruins it like you wouldn't believe.
5/7/?

Posted by Kripts on 04-05-2003 05:24 AM:

Video: 7 - Seems to the usual among their last releases...

Audio: 6 - Seems a little hollow on my surround sound system but overall a decent job

Movie: 7 - Better than I expected

::You too -FuzZ::


Posted by slurmman on 04-05-2003 05:51 AM:

this has got to be cammed by the same guy who did tears of the sun...


If I was centropy, I'd be sorta ashamed to release this (and tears of the sun) cause they have such high standards on their releases


(and to anyone who replies saying "it's free, shut up you bastard", fuck you I don't care if it's free, these forums are for opinions and it's not like I'm flaming centropy with this release, I'm just stating it's pretty crappy considering most centropy rips are the closest thing youll get to a dvd rip than an actual dvd rip (I find their cams to actually be better than some screeners)


Anyway, looks like no ones gonna make a watchable release of this movie...gonna have to wait for a screener.

the AR is waaaaaay off


Posted by SharkeysMachine on 04-05-2003 06:18 AM:

Normally i don't bitch about something thats free, but the angle looks terrible in this one compared to their previous releases. Audio seems fine, but the angle is all fucked up. Passed on the other 2 releases waiting for Centropy to release this, and i guess i'll keep on waiting. Nice try though..

5/7/?


Posted by The Booker Ma on 04-05-2003 06:29 AM:

Geez normally im not one to complain but AR is way off

5/7/4

and to anyone says that this is free whatever, your time may mean absolutely nothing to you, but it has meaning to me, so the time it takes to find, dl, unpack, burn, etc is valuable to me

Even with the aforementioned angle, the video is watchable though not as high quality as some CTP releases as of late. The audio is good and haven't had any problems in it so far. The movie is pretty good if you have a taste for the genre. 7/8/7


Posted by Khameleon808 on 04-05-2003 08:02 AM:

hell ya, better than last

NICE JOB CTP!! this should keep me busy until Darkness.Falls.SVCD.DVDRip-TDi finishes :-)


ctp nice job on the dvdrips too !!!


thinking of going to see Basic in theaters tom. night. unless a dvdscr comes out before then :-p probably will still go see it. since they put in that balcony with the bar and the little service button on the seats HEHEHEHEHE


Posted by MinisterSiniste on 04-05-2003 08:54 AM:

Thumbs down

OK, the angle thing is stupid. I know the idots are going to go off with the it's free crap, but if I can't offer some constructive criticism then what's this quality forum for. Move back three rows. That's all it takes man, just a few rows. Then the next thing you know you're releasing top quality again. Until then I'm going to have to pass on this. I think I'd rather fix the brightness of one of the previous releases than watch that stupid angle. Can't believe I'm passing on a CTP release, but yeah this is unwatchable, once again in great color and clarity, with great sound, but still this is not what the movie looks like. I assure you there are no prosthetic chins on these people (maybe a nose if Nicole Kidman was in it, but nah). If you just want to know the story line, read the script, but if you want to see the film, watch a non-fisheye version.

Posted by At Something on 04-05-2003 09:15 AM:

yeay... CTP screwed up the angle again...


Posted by }Test{ on 04-05-2003 09:25 AM:

Ok..man..what did they film this threw..the peephole of the door at the theater? looks like fish eye. sound is good though. about 5 mins into it had to delete the thing. stolen from the land of the midgets theater.


Posted by trickst3r on 04-05-2003 09:33 AM:

It has been NUKED on nforce

Dont get me wrong, I am one of the "Centropy are the best" people.

But at the end of the day its a NUKE, and the reason for this is "worst angle ever"

first up, I couldn't give a monkey's third testicle if nforce says it's nuked.
second, this is fine to watch, there isn't any major distraction.
and thirdly, you'd all be moaning your assess off if they stopped releasing wouldn't you?

I'm not going to go on about the "if you don't like it don't download it" crap.

This is the best release so far, if you don't like it, and don't like then angle of it, or AR as some genius's call it, then sod off.

And for those that will "wait for the dvdscreener/rip" you people make me want to pull out my tongue and be vomited on by a small child.

Now, I think I've had my rant. that is all

7/7/5


Posted by flex0r on 04-05-2003 10:52 AM:

Cool

and another CTP release!
first of all i really like to say how happy i am CTP is really back on track with many quality releases, and still not everything is perfect of course but they are all watchable, this one is too, thnx for the job & i hope to see a Phone Booth TS after the weekend

after watching sample: 6.5/7/?


Posted by Mystic Slippe on 04-05-2003 11:43 AM:

What she said ^

It's better than the other releases. The angle is annoying. Don't care. Don't wanna see the movie. Everyone else. Enjoy, it's the best release out there.

6/7/X


Posted by Mr_Grinch on 04-05-2003 12:40 PM:

Ok... if you went to see this at the cinema, and you sat in the same seats... it'd look the same, so why bitch about it now. Dodgy angle shouldn't be a reason to nuke it, I've seen countless worse, and the colour and picture sharpness EASILY overcome the angle.

And what with ALL pirate releases,,, you get used to the quality. You can have the shittiest cam, but once you get in to the film you don't even notice till you switch off your dvd player and normal tv comes back on.

Anyway, easily a 7/9/?


Posted by CiASpook on 04-05-2003 01:43 PM:

My guess for all these stupid angles is that they move closer to the screen to get rid of the blue tint that are on most TS's.
But to get the right angle they could just but the camera on a high tripod closer to the screen instead of that "hiding on the second row" angle.
But keep up the good work Centropy, just try and get the angels fixed. Cant be that hard....


Posted by Heflink on 04-05-2003 01:49 PM:

The angle thing is personal choice, some people think the great colours are more important.. others (like myself) will find that they are decreasing in quality with the angle.. either way they are still kicking some ass out there with their releases. They obviosly release for themselves so really our opinions aren't going to make a whole lot of difference.

never stop you guys.

6/7/?


Posted by chknwing on 04-05-2003 01:50 PM:

Doesn't matter really about what it looks like. This movie is god awful. I watched the whole thing in the theater and was struggling to find a plot. I mean the movie didn't have a point to it. And I think they could have come up with a better ending.


Posted by backoff on 04-05-2003 03:16 PM:

.... these angles are bad. I always go for CTP releases over any other, but this one is bad. There is nothing else to see of it, so I guess Mr. Travolta is gonna get some money out of me, because I'm going to see it in theaters.


Posted by SainT on 04-05-2003 03:27 PM:

Wow if i watched this whole movie i would go nuts loking at that crazy angle. Please move back some maybe to the middle of the theater. 6/8/9


Posted by PsYCoTiC on 04-05-2003 05:08 PM:

Thumbs down

I will prolly get flamed for this but here goes.
O.K. Tears I could see as a mistake. Then cmae The Core with the same crappy angle. Not this release. CTP used to release such kickin quality. Well, my opinion is that they seem to intentionally put out sub par quality now. These would be great releases accept for the nasty angular projection.

<insert input @shell prompt>

Well, good guess about sitting close to the screen to get rid of the blue tint. CTP's TS's come out a lot better because they get close enough to allow plenty of light into the camera. and their audio has always owned. they have some super hi-fi digitized quadrophonic spaceage microphone. i've seen it.. ok not really.

And i can't even begin to get into the 'put the camera on a tripod idea' /me shakes his head.

review time: This release is not as good as The Hunted in terms of video quality. I find myself comparing everything to that movie. 'Basic' seems a tad fuzzy and slighty grainy. The Audio is top notch as usual.
As far as the ANGLE. that's right folks. A-n-g-l-e, it's HARDLY visible. Go burn this rls and watch it on the tele. Also, Travolta look weird because he is JACKED. He bulked up for this movie which is part of the reason u think u see Jay Leno chin. Just look at his biceps.. gawd.
This is definitely worth the download if u dig action flix. i know i love guns and violence. but, i am an American.

7/9/8

This TS is completely unwatchable. I don't see how anyone could honestly give the video a 6+.

4/7/6


Posted by masta_spl on 04-05-2003 10:34 PM:

this release is a completely watchable ts... the angle isn't that bad just makes the faces big and cuts the mission status on the left side during the beggining of the movie, audio is great, theirs great color awsome job ctp

as for the movie its a little above average just because samuel jackson and john travolta are in it and it has a cool ending

6/8/7.5


Posted by B16A2 on 04-05-2003 11:19 PM:

Many CTP fans still in denial I was once one of you back when Star Wars Episode 2 SVCD TS appeared but you guys are honestly hanging on to the end of the rope. Once again, CTP you guys are a great group but flaws are flaws and I call em how I see 'em. Nice colors (as usual), angle getting worse and worse not to mention amount of cropping on the sides has increased dramatically. For those who think the angle is barely noticable, LOL... yea right, everything looks like a star wars intro 5/9/7


Posted by darkslide on 04-06-2003 03:53 AM:

all i got to say is that the angle ruins it....

5/7/??

if an angle like that was ever on a release other than centropy.. it would be flammed so bad....

After watching the movie, THE ANGLE DOES NOT RUIN IT. I bet everyone of you that complain about the angle, never watch the movie other then the 40second sample. I dont see how it could ruin the movie as for the sharpness/color takes away from the angle. The angle is just like subtitles/watermarks, u loose site of it a quarter of the way through the movie..7/8/6..the ending was fabolous but was very confusing.

It can have the best color in the world and I'd still hate feeling like I'm sitting in the front row of cinema, and you're right I didn't watch the movie... I shut CD1 off after 10 minutes. We flame groups like sWs for fish eye lens but jay leno lens ain't any better.


Posted by Twista on 04-06-2003 04:25 PM:

A part from the angle, this is not that bad. If you get past this, this is the best release so far. My girlfriend was not complaining. But I think It's missing like 3 minutes at the end., Kinda cuts weird on cd2, Maybe I fucked it up while burning it. 6/8/8

i'ld rather have a good angle then a front row one
certainly the colour is great but it just seems funny

Posted by B16A2 on 04-06-2003 11:49 PM:

Now we can all say "get regime" They released an internal which isnt half bad.

nah, you're right, the end is cut off. happens even when watching from daemon tools. i don't know how much is cut, maybe only a few secs... but there's something wrong with it; when it ends it cuts off with an error message, as tho it weren't as long as the header says it should be.

Oh lord Centropy!! Please PLEASE remove your "fisheye" lens from your cam!!!! Just take it of, can't be verry hard.


Posted by Vertrif on 04-07-2003 08:11 PM:

You guys are complaining too much

I've seen the entire movie and it's perfectly fine. I don't understand why you all complaining about the angle. The face may be stretched, but you don't really notice it. The movie is perfectly fine, people are just too picky. This release is good, because you can HEAR everything perfectly fine and SEE everything perfectly fine. Yes, the dark action scene makes it hard to tell what they are doing, but even if i go to the theatre, i'll still have that complaint about action scenes in the dark were TOOO DARK. I went to see LOTR two towers in theatres, and I thought the fight in helms deep was too dark, and the theatres should have a 10/10 rating.. The people that rate this movie low are too PICKY!!! You people got in your head that each release should be EXACT duplicate as you see in the movie. If you want that, go WATCH IT IN THE THEATRES and TAPE IT YOURSELF AND RELEASE IT!!! This release I give an 8/8/9.


Posted by fakka on 04-08-2003 07:08 PM:

Picture quality and sound quality is GREAT! but can they please change the lens!!!

how can you say it's perfect when the end cuts off in the middle of a question one character is asking another? at the very least we miss the end of his question & her response.

After reading comments on this board I often think ppl are watching a different movie than I saw. The angle doesnt bother me much and even on the releases that its real bad on everyone should stop paying SO much attention to it. We all know its there just say very bad or not that bad. I thought this was a very bad release for any group let alone centropy. Anyway a scr is out now so obviously get that instead. 5/7/7
