looks a little cropped but def better then the iMPERiAL TS

7/5 = good on cd1 but cd2 is fucked /8

Just Watched iT Good Release But One Thing I Hated Was During Some Of The Parts Where Tom Cruise Was Talking It Would Be Playing Jazz Music And I Couldnt Here What He Was Saying Guess i'LL Have To Go See This One At Theatres

also for everyone whos rating this as good quality you need to watch the whole release first.... i mean cd2 video is fine i guess... but its unwatchable when they are talking in the cab you cant even hear them cuz of the music.....

Honestly Think This Release Needs To Be NUKED......

And There iT iS [Nuked] [Reason:] bad.audio

Edit From Full Release. Definitely Needs a Proper or a Repack. It never phases to amaze me that the movie we've all been waiting to get a great release of is screwed up. Man the sound problems just ruined such a great picture.

9/-9/8 movie was crazy good..have to see it yourself to be the judge.

sample looks really nice, great quality like always from them, in the nfo it states thanks for the e & f subs, so im wonderin if theres subs in this and they hardcoded english ones, cause that would be great, i wouldve loved videocd if they did that for kb v2.

props to maven for some damn good looking releases. no major complaints at all from sample hope the whole film is the same. 9/9/??

good lookin maVen

8.5/8.5/8.5

I don't care if the group is maVen or VideoCD, this kind of quality is something we should all enjoy while it lasts. I get the feeling that the story behind the scenes here is as good as these releases. One source, two distributors, and at least one party that ain't too happy with the other. As the scene turns...

((Little Black Book, released at the same time, and at the same quality? -- fine encoding work and lightning fast speed?... damn!))

EDIT: Is there an AUDIO PROBLEM with this release? There's a lot of times where the background music is drowning out the dialogue. It's waaaay too loud, and I doubt that was Mann's plan. At least I hope not.

EDIT 2: The audio is bad, it's going to be nuked and/or propered. Maybe by VideoCD??? Apparently we can scratch maVen off the "don't bother with the sample/reviews" list. What a disappointment.

less crop plz ^__________________________^

8.5/9/8

Nice

Just finished watching cd 1. Have to say this release is top notch props out to maven. Video very nice audio is the same!

movie looks great. but somethings up with the audio....u hear music and gunshots going on throughout the movie that dont belong there.. i dunno wtf is goin on..

::Maybe they were in Detroit. -K::

Dual audio?

can any confirm the dual audio as in some of the audio plays five mins after?? I didnt see this on my stand alone dvd player....

8/8.5/8

Anyone notice the dual audio tracks on cd2 they overlap each other, sounds like the same audio stream playing at a diffrent time you cant hear anything they are saying on cd2 very wierd

video is a 9
audio is a 1
will wait for a repack i guess to finsh watching this movie


Yeah and cd1 also you notice it alot towards the end of cd1

from full release: see a small audio sync problem on cd1, maybe 20ms? IMO it's negligable and didn't affect the movie. did NOT notice problems on cd2 as the-13-monkey remarked. also no audio sync problem whatsoever that I could detect on cd2.

video is, as usual, very nice for TS.

9/8/7

beautiful release. havent seen 1 bad release from you maven. keep up the nice work. its appreciated.

8/8/?

maVen delivers the goods once again.
*sample judge*
good full color, nice deep full sound
8.9/9/X

video kewl sound gutted film good

where exactly does the sound fuck up?

__________________

Yep, just checked CD 2 over and sound is really bad, you basically have 2 soundtracks running at the same time, i.e when someone is speaking you hear them as well as get a music track

Damn, was looking forward to watching this, hopefully maVen will sort a repack out ASAP like any top group does, cheers, Rizel

just goes to show dont fuckin post a score for audio till you actually watch the fuckin release

Well maVen..Started out as one of the best SVCD TS i've seen, but someone goofed on the audio..CD2 Loops music in left speaker over the action that is going on.. during several scenes the wrong music is playing over the action that is actually happened.. very odd.. but should be NUKED!!!!...CD 2 Needs a Repack ..CD1 is fine.

There is a way to "fix" it...In audio options of your player (windvd), set it to MONO and use RIGHT channel as source. Then you can watch it. Not the same audio, but you can watch it without that annoying music.

The audio get weird arround 3 times during the movie,

When Max talk to this girl in the cab.

when while they talking to Max's mother, the jass comming back, for about 1min.


Then when Max's flip and get an accident, for about 3min, the audio is getting weird again.

In any way, this sound problem doesn't affect in any way the movie story.

but you know what ? its a bootleg ! and its free !!
Those guys put their ass on the line for you fuckers and what you able to say ? nuked nuked nuked nuked nuked lol

Everything these guys do is great quality. I can't wait to see it!

nice pic, pity about the audio.
i really wish folks wouldnt post after only viewing the sample, how stupid do they look now!
really though, shouldnt it be made a rule that the actual movie should be watched or skipped through and not judged on a minute of sample?
8 / 1 / ?
just got imperials internal so will watch that one.

hellion i watched the sample and their was no audio issues . but in the actual rls like everyone said cd2 is fucked. and now im waiting for a repack!

Is there a SVCD release by Imperial? Keep seeing it come up, but I thought Maven had only SVCD release.

By the way is the 'alleged' audio issue just in CD2?

Any chance maVen will put out a proper ??

Is it just me or should this have been recognized (the audio) before it was released ??

Thanks maVen for the release. In the end, you'll make it right!

Rude

people bitching

to the people bitching about people talking about the audio, STFU. This is a review thread, u review the quality of the release.

to maVen, take the time to watch ur releases. If u get beat on the release in that hour and a half or however long, uh well, u can be sure that ur release will be a quality one.

for a TS
8.5/5/8

For those who cant wait for a repack or a proper yet picked up this copy. HelpFul hint of the day:

UNPLUG LEFT SPEAKER

What a concept , then it sounds fine ;p ... just a bit annoying listening via 1 speaker.

I'm glad that there are some fellow members that understand that this is a video/audio review thread and that members shouldn't be judgmental about their critiques. Hence we have the choice to be critical of releases despite the fact that we are enjoying them on the behalf of some hard working crews. I'm sure a lot of their work is distributed with the mindset that it will come under scrutiny. Hence the reason why some groups bust their ass to put out the best quality work inorder to maintain a solid reputation.

At any rate, If there weren't any comments I wouldn't have had the ability to make choice of whether it would be a waste of my time. I obviously have gone off tangent here so I can't be a hypocrite about posts that don't stick to the rules.. All I have to say is thanks for the heads up about the audio.

Obviously there was some error with the mixing from DTS to stereo. Only the left channel seems to be afflicted with this weird sound error. If you want to fix this, you can take the audio after demuxing and duplicate the right channel over the left channel with your favorite audio editing software.

thinking cd1 is a bit off also some of the music just dont seem to fit with whats going on but with audio resampled from the right channel its fine
still like to see a comlplete repack/propper not just cd2 though

Not bad film

8 for visual
4 for audio (used right channel muted left)
7 for film

Tom Cruise the wallhacker at the end lol

The video is excellent but dam why did the sound have to be fucked up. i was pissed i just finished downloading this one when they just release the repack. But above all excellent work maven.

glad i waited for the repack on this one .. audio IS fucked.

8/5/10

Video 8.7
Audio 6
Movie 7.5

Good story, kinda thought it was going this way from the beginn.
The audio on my dvd/65" tv was low w/voices but blasting sound efx. I like when they whisper in movies

Lol, it cracks me up how some people just seem to want to post here for the sake of it.

People have been marking this version with audio of 8+.

On CD2 its screwed with parts of the sound playing twice and basically ruining about 30 minutes of the movie. Whilst the quality is good the audio can not be marked higher than 3 with this problem.

Get the repacked version where its fixed.

For those who want to mark the movie, please at least watch it first to save us poor buggers from downloading 1.4gb!

8/8/8
Video was great, even in dark scenes.
Audio was near perfect. On Surround system it had a high pitch noise, not on TV.
Movie was excellent. Good acting from Cruise.
