Posted by dogbollox on 03-16-2002 03:43 PM:

watchable
NICE


Posted by rusty2002 on 03-16-2002 03:48 PM:

I dont care if centropy isnt ripping as much as the used to they are still my favorite group. Intill ftf is as good as ctp i will never d/l one of their releases. quality is better then quantity so GO CTP!!!!!!!


Posted by pHo on 03-16-2002 03:51 PM:

Very nice, motion and colours seem good, but the audio is lacking "something", but the main point is its nice and clear. I'm sure i can fiddle with my amp a bit and get it pumping like i want it.. props CTP, i was hoping for a high quality watchable release, and thats what we've been delivered.

well, since there's a Movie section, thought i'd comment on the movie....

heh ... i'm a sucker for keen (or overdone) audio editing, so i loved it from that standpoint. i also **love** Michelle Rodriguez (sp?) ..and what's-her-nuts from Fifth Element was a definite bonus (in more ways than one =) ...all in all, i thought it was on the extremely high end of OK to low end of Great, but was underwhelmingly mediocre, if you take into account the Resident Evil licence. oh-so-much-more thought could have been put into the plot and everything (i know my diehard RE fan friend will hate it)

all in all, fans of the horror-on-a-diet (modern) genre: must see --9/10

RE kiddies: 8/10 (you know you love the flashyness =)

hardcore horror (oh, i donno..) 6/10, i suppose (if seen in a THX house)

hardcore RE fans: 3 to 5/10

i'm just sad i didn't preview it the night before it came out =(

ps ... anyone know where the discs are split on the two releases in case i feel like getting around to grabbing a better sounding copy of it?


Posted by misfits138 on 03-16-2002 11:35 PM:

i hope another group like teg or tmm release this movie...my apex play pal movies out of sync


Posted by Skippy_2002ca on 03-17-2002 12:04 AM:

nice pic and sound

dont like how the boom mics are in shot sometimes (ill never understand that)

good job centropy


Posted by CraZY8 on 03-17-2002 01:46 AM:

WHICH IS BETTER?~?~?~

i just want a 1 group answer
cu zi duno which one to get...
somone


Posted by FrAzZmAN on 03-17-2002 02:44 AM:

what the fuck is it with this group, the picture quality is perfect for a telesync but the sound is really average, the biggest issue here is the Aspect Ratio, it is totally off. If they left the bloody thing as FS it would be FINE, but they try and squash into semi wide screen making everything look sqaushed, if you re-encode it using a correct AR like 4:3NTSC fs stretching the image back to rmeove the black bars then the AR is correct, why make FS shitty WS?


Posted by ArchdemoN on 03-17-2002 05:33 AM:

wow!
another fine rls by CTP, why the fuck did FTF proper anyways?
this rls is fine to me...


Posted by Natural on 03-17-2002 07:23 AM:

Thumbs up

another nice centropy release. just finished watching it on my sanyo dvd player. picture was full screen, i never noticed any aspect ratio problems, and the sound, while not perfect, was very bearable. no sign of the hiss that's audible when playing it as an mpg on computer. there was no de'sync in the audio, for my player anyway. the color on we were soldiers was a little better. the trademark blue tint returned for this rls, but it's still very watchable, and that's the point. props on a great release


Posted by cadillact on 03-17-2002 09:11 AM:

Out Of Sync !!!

Well there are 2 things to do if you are out of sync.

I have an apex 1500 and i do the following.

Convert .bin with vcdgear to .mpg and then burn with nero.

Or convert it to ntsc with either tempenc or another software.

I only have problems with a few of all ctp releases that I actually download and I have only converted one to ntsc when it was too bad. In this case it might be better to download the FTF version since they release in NTSC.

Nero fixes a lot and i hate to convert since its a quality loss.

I have a lot of pal vcd movies and its only ctp that gives me problem somtimes. I dont know what software they use to get it to vcd format since the other groups doesnt have that problem.

CTP are not bad but they are doing something wrong when they get it to cd in vcd format.


Posted by WDude on 03-17-2002 02:48 PM:

Great Quality, clear picture and good sound... wasnt expecting this quality so fast. Thanks CTP!

coz pal rocks?? I never had a problem with centropy releases, on anything ive played them on (philips dvd plaer, pioneer dvd player, uberbox vcd player, and psx with vcd addon) addmitidly not used the psx much, but where are peeps getting this out of sync? or i just dont notice it?

Ohh well ill just have to enjoy this fine looking PAL release, but its trickling down atm


Posted by Buffy93089 on 03-17-2002 03:21 PM:

Great job, Centropy.

This was a great encode, Centropy. The only thing I noticed was sometimes there are these black things at teh top of the screen. The audio was good, and the picture was very clear. I can't believe FTF tried propering this, there was nothing to proper!


Posted by cosmic on 03-17-2002 09:33 PM:

nice TS rls, movie played fine in my stand-alone.
too bad, the AR was wrong.

oh, hell no! (putting flame resistant leotards on) the only part of the world that matters is NTSC!!

trickling down to usenet...? already? wow... if that's so, a two day turnaround.. that's a first, methinks... (that i've seen)


Posted by sychosis on 03-18-2002 02:12 AM:

why does everyone say the sound is off on this release ? i tried both releases and this ctp release is da bomb! and another thing we get these releases free so why rag on the group if there are a few bad releases in a while ?yah know its not like we pay for these moviesit is th groups that release em . my props to them all keep it alive guys!


Posted by fatblack on 03-18-2002 05:45 AM:

Red face Centropy or FTF?? that is the question... well i gotz the answer

aight, here it is, i actually got both releases of this movie, just because i was bored out of my mind and i couldn't get any pussy... that's another story though... anyhow, it turns out that the ctp release is better than the FTF in my opinion... so hey, looking for quality release, get the ctp... peace out

big up to all the groups working to make sure that i don't have to spend money to see movies... peace!!!


Posted by misfits138 on 03-18-2002 06:27 AM:

i never flamed this release or any release by centropy cause the quality and sound are always great...its just i get pissed cause my apex plays thier releases out of sync cuase they are in pal..i tried the movie on my brothers sony which played not another teen movie and colat damage perfect...well in resident evil the sound and video were had no sync problems in the sony dvd player but every few minites blocks would show and then go away and then right in the middle of cd 1 blocks showed up and never went away and the movie froze

centropy does a great job in thier releases i just want to know why they cant be encoded in the more compatible NTSC.


Posted by SumBastard on 03-18-2002 06:27 AM:

Thumbs up nice job

but is it just me or did i keep seeing boom mics all thru the movie...


Posted by maka on 03-18-2002 10:25 AM:

hahah
ya i saw about 10 boom mikes... seems strange they were not edited out


Posted by spiderman200 on 03-18-2002 11:03 AM:

Smile

Good film .


Posted by cadillact on 03-18-2002 11:38 AM:

Aspect in NTSC

Well the quality is "good" on this one but I had to convert it to ntsc since i cant watch a movie when the faces looks like they have been squeezed in a vice.

I do not have a pal tv and i wish i had but even though the conversion from my dvd player is good i just had to convert it.

The FTF version is not better either since the aspect is not good either in that release.

I rather have less quality and correct picture than good and bad aspect. At least there are no desync problems and that is good.

Well i did convert it and it was a slight loss, noticable if you look for them but absolutely nothing serious. Certain scenes became a little "blocky" but at least the aspect is good.

If i would rate the loss i would say 0.2.

are you talking about the black fuzzy boxes that showed up at the top of the screen at some points in the movie?i thought that was just the movie.


Posted by Nazgul0357 on 03-18-2002 05:54 PM:

Note about the microphones on the screen

If anyone is interested about the microphones appearing on the top and bottom of the screens I can tell you why..

When a film is made it is shot bigger than the film stock (16:9, 2.35:1) So normally the shooting aspect is closer to 4:3 (pan & scan) That way the editor has got some room to move the capture box up and down the frame in order to get the shot the director wants. And so the shot is trimmed to a nice clean 16:9 ratio in the final edit.

In this case the guys at centropy got a pre-final edit of the film hence the occasional microphone. Also at the end of the film if you look at the top of the screen you can see black composite markers in the final shot.

I hope this help you guys out there

PS Thanks to the guys at centropy as us Folks in the UK won't be able to see the film at the cinema until June.

Cheers

Nazgul

Mics

That makes sense about the mics, but if it is a telesync that was made on the release date, why would it be a pre-edit copy?


Posted by Mike-420 on 03-19-2002 05:16 AM:

Good job CTP

Ctp's Release wuz great ! and thats that

that's due to a dumbshit projectionist. if the movie is ever so slightly off on a flat (1.85:1) movie and it wasn't tightly matted wherever in the transfer process, a stray boom can usually be seen. also was a problem in Sixth Sense and a few Coke ads...

silly projectionist. smart enough to hook up the equipment, but not enough to frame it


Posted by William Regal on 03-19-2002 07:12 PM:

Good picture, very good sound, though I've only watched the first 20 minutes so far...
BTW the cop who gets picked up in the first part (with blue shirt) should play MAX PAYNE!!!
Dead ringer!

Posted by Silent Sam on 03-20-2002 01:42 AM:

Good quick release.. The video quality was above average. The sound was very good. The movie was about what I expected so I gave it a 6 out of ten. Good entertainment value.


Posted by RDJ134 on 03-20-2002 02:11 AM:

Well i just finished watching this great movie,
The quality of this release is good only in the sound i hear a humming on the background but he its free so i shut up


Posted by Arthrog on 03-20-2002 05:26 AM:

Awsome

Just finished watching it, really cool flick!


Posted by Sig-Bro on 03-20-2002 06:19 PM:

Yo

I've heard that Centropy's releases aren't Telesync's, but instead are just crappy Telecines, which does make sense in this case due to the mics in the shots and it not being matted properly. I know I've seen mics in other Centropy releases (I.E. Not Another Teen Movie, Orange County, etc). but nonetheless, I'm not here to shit on Centropy whatsoever, they do nice quick releases and I always look forward to 0day releases usually every 2 weeks.

Perfect sound, perfect video, great film. Oh and Milla Jovovich was perfect too (thighs are chubbier than in Fifth Element though but hey who gives a f***)
Keep em coming


Posted by eric on 03-24-2002 04:12 AM:

excellent

excellent quality for an excellent movie


Posted by sydd on 03-25-2002 08:21 PM:

Was it me ,or is the ending not all there?


Posted by brr8760 on 04-06-2002 03:18 PM:

Still the best....

I've seen all the latest and greatest, and nothing has equaled this version of Resident Evil for being a fast, quality release of a great show. Centropy wins the Easter Cup! Free rabbit meat for everyone! Thanks guys always.


Posted by firstwav on 04-07-2002 10:43 AM:

nice copy lads.....keep up the good work!


Posted by Luckydvl on 04-07-2002 07:39 PM:

not bad, got the blue tint but picture quality is fairly good keep up the good work guys


Posted by tsay2cx on 04-14-2002 11:06 PM:

Good release even though the movie kind of sucks.. It is rated R, and I figure they should have made it more bloddy and gory, and the zombie does not look all that scary..


Posted by XYZMan29 on 04-15-2002 04:53 AM:

All there

Can someone please tell me if the wholle ending was there? I didn't see any credits roll..

The last thing that I saw was the girl looking into the buss window and then the movie just stops.
