Jeese, if you don't like, it DON'T DOWNLOAD IT.

I'm really starting to get sick of people saying to "stop realsing it". If it gets better each time, and someone wants to see it, why the hell NOT release it?

Especially if it's a big summer movie. LOTS of people wanted to see Goldmember, and with almost every release, it got better, and if you liked the movie, or had someone that wanted to see it at good quality, than the latest release was the way to go.


Posted by WiKKeSH on 07-28-2002 08:28 AM:

looks like another quality rip
(sounds like one, too)

no other way i would se ethis movie though, which looks to be a steaming Pile of shit. lol

Excellent quality though, an dmyabe ill even like the movie.


Posted by gmo on 07-28-2002 08:50 AM:

Have you guys that have posted already even seen the sample? Judging by the posts I guess not. Let me start by saying, not to good. You can see chairs on the bottom of the screen, and in the sample you can see someone get up and walk in front of the camera. There is a bit of a buz in the sounds. All in all an "OK" release. I give this one a 6/6/?

Cool Its better than the last

Not Bad,


We certainly would like a screener of this copy soon. Thanks go out to EVERYONE (yes even the "quality impaired" ones) For the Effort to get these movies to us.

Risking ass to keep ass happy :-)


Posted by goosen_powers on 07-28-2002 09:48 AM:

There is something missing off the UTi release. There's a prologue before the titles which shows Christian Bale as a kid finding a dragon under London and releasing it, that's why he has flashbacks towards the end of the movie and that's how he knows where to find the major dragon.

Wikkesh Have u even d/l this release?
i doubt it, rate the quality and sound after it is on cd and u have watched it on a dvd player ffs theses forums are getting shit for any kinda review


Posted by turkey on 07-28-2002 10:45 AM:

i watched the uti rls, and it cant really have anything missed out as it has all the initial credits, and yes it feels like your are dropped into the story, but if you watch it you find all the story out. Well i managed to and i was pissed


Posted by fenris on 07-28-2002 10:59 AM:

Well as a matter of fact the releases online are missing like 20 minutes of the beginning of the movie. There is a whole beginning where they are in present day England and the dragon awakes and that is when the movies begins not at the part where they are in the future.

I hope this release is also complete I will d/l this one for sure.


Posted by ^Om3n on 07-28-2002 11:55 AM:

I don't think it was the release missing parts, i saw the ftf(i think) version and it seemed to do the same thing. The storyline in this movie fails to establish itself properly at all and sucks regardless.

I've seen this movie in the theater twice, and it's a hell of a lot better than most of the stuff out there this summer. Reign of Fire manages to do a lot of things right, and if you go into it knowing anything about World War 2, you can see some distinct similarities between them. Also, the special effects are great, the dragons look like the dragons SHOULD look, like the one in Dragonslayer.

Anyone who says they don't like this movie as they walk out of the theater doesn't like sci-fi/action adventure movies, since this is the best of the genre this summer, and maybe of the year. It's comprised of everything that a kickass summer action flick should be, plus it manages to put itself ahead of the pack by offering details into dragon mythology. Want to know why dragons burn everything in their path? Some people might know, but I'm willing to wager that most don't. RoF tells you why, and a lot more about dragons. Cool movie, check it out before you criticize


Posted by gadreams on 07-28-2002 03:37 PM:

missing scenes...

I saw this in the movies and I can tell you that the FTF and UTI versions are missing the first 20 mins. Its weird that they have the opening credits and title shot and then jump to a point about 20 mins into the movie. you miss seeing how the 1st dragon got released and how they take over the world. its really f**ked up. Haven't checked out is new version but I won't d/l it if it is missing the beginning no matter how good the quality is.

Has anyone seen this one? are the missing scenes there?


Posted by Vyrrus on 07-28-2002 04:22 PM:

Eureka!

I knew I wasn't crazy...I knew shit was missing cuz in the trailer they show parts I didnt see in the movie(i.e. the lady sayin how did they go from one to millions in so short a time...or some shit like that)...anyways...I agree...I will wait to dl this until i know i will be seeing the entire movie...


Posted by devilbeast on 07-28-2002 05:30 PM:

If you've actually watched this rls you'll see that its not that good. I suggest waiting on a fucken screener..(any time soon groups please..)


Posted by darkslide on 07-28-2002 05:31 PM:

i was wondering why the movie started halfway through the story..

lmao, I looked at the jpgs, and though hmm looks ok, grabed the sample and OMG, the rip looks good, but that has to be the worst reel man going, you can see by the way they have left the crowd in at the bottom that half of the projected screen is not even on the cinema screen... they could have least cropped it


Posted by bts on 07-28-2002 06:59 PM:

nice set of chairs and people's heads..oh..nice cam!


Posted by michealo on 07-28-2002 07:41 PM:

this release IS missing the opening sequence, i wouldnt say 20 minutes, but a chunk is certainly cut out

What a waste of my valuable time..
A waste i say!
Lets eat some hay, down by the bay, i just may, say?


Posted by AngelDeath on 07-29-2002 02:45 AM:

Well I watched the UTI and felt it jumped into it, and I already watched the OBUS sample, and looks nice, but a bit blocky while watching it, and WTF is with cutting out the beginning, Thta to me is unacceptable, Yes its free, but I usually dont complain about quality, but when quality concerns cut up parts thats a problem.

If your going to do it right, then at least make the movie complete instead of scratching your head wondering how this all started.

Just my opinion, take it for whats it worth.

the best quality so far, but please guys include the whole movie.


Posted by misfits138 on 07-29-2002 04:16 AM:

got this version and it starts off at the same spot the uti release did...the video quality is just about the same as uti (maybe a little more fuzzy) but the sound is good.i'll take this one because the uti version had some parts where the video would speed up and slow down for a few seconds (at least for me it did).

video = 6

sound = 8

movie = 6


Posted by Vyrrus on 07-29-2002 04:34 AM:

Same thing happened to me misfits...and that sux that this version is fucked up too....for the record..good quality or not(which this one is pretty good)...if u dont have the whole movie...I think nuking is too good for u....only way thats acceptable(and even not then) is if u have a workprint...the camera guy needs to stop waiting in line for popcorn and raisinettes and get to work filming the movie for the ungrateful masses :-]


P.S. save all the go to the theater/can u do better yourself bullshit

I thought i was clear that i was commenting on the sample, but looking back, it wasnt.

anyways, i only saw the sample, i thought it was good.
the seats at the bottom didnt bother me, and you could barely notice they guy standing up.
and the sound if fine if you dont listen loud.

that clear enough for you?
if not, add me to your ignore list.
along with everyone else you consider lame.
mmmmkay?


Posted by moviemusic73 on 07-29-2002 08:07 AM:

In case of those who download the movie and didn't see the beginnin, all it is is when the protagonist is a little child digging in the tunnel with his parents and discover the dragon. Dragon kills everone but the kid. That is all.


Posted by Wesb0b on 07-29-2002 09:08 AM:

Looks decent, been wanting to see the movie, ill have to check it out, keep em commin


Posted by Melter on 07-29-2002 11:44 AM:

dragons are cool.. this movie looks ok.. worth my watching.. but i am gonna wait for a screener or better before downloading..

this is a decent release for a cam tho..


Posted by misfits138 on 07-29-2002 12:57 PM:

ok i watched the whole thing and there are some short hisses in the sound at some points in the movie but nothing that makes this version total crap but wtf! the dude recorded the ending credits and all it shows is people getting up to leave and some girls standing up and lighting a cig...there was no point in that at all and theres no reason the seats and stuff couldn't have been cropped out.

Maybe they put it there because they wanted to show it was really widescreen, or maybe they just dont know how. Anyway i didnt see them in the sample untill i watched it a second time after reading some of these replys.

Ill post again after i see the whole movie, it finishs downloading in about an hour.


Posted by GMjames on 07-29-2002 04:12 PM:

I checked this one out and the pic wasn't that bad. Even the sound was cool. The only prob I really had with the whole movie was the seated pplz in the theater and the reflection on the floor from the big screen. I guess maybe this should be labled cam or you guys should have cropped the screen to make it a perfect 16:3 AR without the crowd. But even if it was labled cam this pic is better than all the other Telesyncs releases of this film. I know you are a newer group OBUS but how bout trying the TMPGEnc cropping. As far the story goes it was kinda cool!! Pretty much what I expected from a movie about dragons and shit. I can say this wasn't a waste of a download. I may prolly reencode, clip the frames, and cut the credits at the end.

Props 2 OBUS Thanks for the release and keep em comming

Thats a lot of work to do on an incomplete TS...this is not Matrix Reborn...its not that serious...the quality was good but heads bobbing about is second to cutting out the background info portion of the movie...then again..I've already said that...


Posted by strawhair on 07-30-2002 08:13 PM:

Red face watch it and see....

ok my ratings- 6/6/7
reasonable release from a fairly new group.
but just one point to raise-anybody who says this is the whole release is obviously lieing-even in the nfo they say their is all content here-i don't care if it's only a few minutes or whatever-basically if you miss part of the story as a whole you are not seeing the film properly in my book. luckily although i live in the uk and the theatrical release hasn't occured over here yet -i have a friend who works in a promotional/editing company for movies in this country and i have been lucky enough to see a screener of this(i should have ripped it!-bugger!). overall a reasonable release-but those who are saying brilliant etc-obviously havent watched it all-have a good day-daniel


Posted by [RaZoR] on 08-01-2002 12:26 AM:

noobs , only becuz u can see ppl its a cam ?
only diffrence between cam and telesync is the direct sound ,
wich is used for telesyncs . goddamn.
sounds like u noobs think a telesync isnt made with a cam or so.

I finished watching it 20 minutes ago, and I thought the movie itself was very enjoyable. I'd give it an 8, mostly for originality and entertainment value. Impressive effects, and sufficient acting. If you are looking for Academy Award performances, then you should know better than downloading something like this anyway.

The dark atmosphere throughout made for difficult filming, I'm sure. Therefore I rated the visuals at 8. Most groups can't release a watchable dark movie, much less something that maintains decent clarity like this. There were two or three times the picture froze up, but only for a couple seconds.

The audio on the other hand, I rated a 6. The voices were clear, the bass boomed appropriately, but there were several very disruptive hisses and static bursts. The fiddling with the audio source is more disruptive to me than picture imperfections.

Overall a nice 7-ish effort. If you like Sci-Fi it is worth your time.


Posted by apache-vampire on 08-01-2002 05:51 PM:

yeah ..not too bad... weird begining i agree with a few in here perhaps they missed a bit of the start?- not a bad rls really- i watched it -so i cant complain really .. i dont think i would have given it a high mark that it has - thats a bit misleading .worth the download?? yeah i guess it was - the peeps at the end were a laff pulling there wedgies out etc - but for a new group ..yeah not bad ..beats the crap out of the really dodgy minority report rls's etc - but i guess they should have clipped the seats etc at the bottom -
-=apache=-


Posted by Lexx_Tv_watcher on 08-01-2002 08:14 PM:

I'm not complaining but i wish they would put something in the nfo file about the movie being edited. Since the movie has the whole introduction about how they started to come out cut off. almost ruins the whole movie

Time

Total time for this movie on the cd's are 95 minutes and 35 sec.

According to IMDB it says the movie is 100 minutes.

I have not seen the movie in the theatre so i dont know what is missing. Nor have I seen any trailers of this one.

So people saying that 15-20 minutes are missing.......

Maybe this missing parts will be in the DVD version of it.
Since they always seems to add scenes to the DVD.
So the people who already have watched it will buy it just to
see the missing scenes.

Quality wise it was one of the bettter TS i have seen. I cropped the movie myself and edited it before i burned it and corrected some minor stuff. I just hated the people in the lower part of the screen and the theatre ceiling in the top.

Well when you concider ~3 maybe 4 min or credits, maybe nothing is missing at all. People think something is missing because of the lacking storyline and it jumps straight into it. Seems to me thats just the way the movie is.

I don't think there is time missing from this,,,I know for sure. I saw this in the theaters and the story line made perfect sence but without the first 10-15 minutes of the movie you are lost. It would be like picking up a book and starting to read it half way through chapter 3 and expecting the book to make sense. Those few minutes show how the frist dragon got loose, explains the flashbacks that Quinn keeps having, and how he knows where to find the daddy dragon at the end.

All these groups are in such a hurry to be "the first" to release something. how about being "the best" even if it does take a few extra day to do it. If you are going to release a film, just make sure you get the whole thing.


Posted by ssbou on 08-03-2002 07:41 PM:

Missing Minutes

This version is essentially a re-encoded version of the UTi release with an improvement in the sound quality. However, it is still missing a significant portion of the beginning of the movie (ie. the discovery and origin of the dragons). Alice Krige (she was the Borg Queen in Star Trek: First Contact), whose name appears in the end credits, is nowhere to be seen in this release (she plays Quinn's mother). While the movie is certainly watchable without the beginning and you can infer a lot from the existing dialogue (despite how insipid it is), the missing opening segments would have explained or cleared up some seemingly bewildering plot developments and character motivations later in the movie. Frankly, it probably doesn't make a whole lot of difference since, aside from the CGI effects, the rest of the movie is pretty lame (flimsy plot, cardboard cut-out acting, and horrible screenplay). Still, it would be interesting to see what the beginning is like (obviously, I haven't seen the movie in the theatres). There is supposedly a montage shot of the dragons defeating the world's military forces over a span of fifty years; I would certainly be intrigued to see that. Hopefully a screener version of Reign Of Fire will surface eventually.


Posted by RUiN on 08-06-2002 04:12 AM:

d/l this version . I have d/l'd 3 dif versions and this is the best . I realy dont care if 5 mins are missing , the movie still kix ass


Posted by m-drew on 08-09-2002 03:49 AM:

I wonder if it can get ANY darker.


Posted by creepah on 08-09-2002 04:04 AM:

well i don't know why you rate this movie so high... it was watchable off course..

but on the 2nd cd you see the chairs of the cinemar and on the ending greets how the stand up and ran across the picture...

little hinte: add some black crossbars on top and down so that shit isnt seeable :-)

and am i'm wrong ? or did they switched camara perspective on 2nd cd.. ??? first cd was ok.. but they i think it was a little oblique ? as they cam'd it from upper left to lower right ?!

bye

Posted by nitemare on 08-09-2002 06:55 AM:

watcheable.. good sound and ok pic. could be better..but i def. watched worse. overall 7/6/7.. decent movie. i would check it out. the sound seemed better than the picture. the pic was often very BLUEISH and dark.. I would have thought by now this movie would have been released in much better quality..but for now, this is the release to grab...


Posted by Dr. Poo PhD on 08-09-2002 05:26 PM:

This release of this movie was definitely watchable. I was not a big fan of seeing this movie after watching the trailers, but I have to admit that I was pleasantly surprised after watching it. There may have been some parts missing, but all in all I found that I walked away from watching this release with at least most of the story and I found while watching it that I didn't have to strain to see and hear what was going on. Everything (sound and video) came through just well enough that I could tell what was going (I had to turn my brightness up on my TV a bit though -- but that can probably be seen from the JPGs).

Anyway, if you want to see this movie out of curiosity and don't want to pay the big bucks to go to the theatre then this release will suffice for you. If you are one of those who wanted to see this movie very badly then I would recommend paying the money for the bigger sound and the better visual quality to be able to get more from the special effects efforts that were put into this movie.

My rating: 6/6/7.
