Is it better than the XanaX Divx? I have not seen the sample as of yet. Damn glad to see you guys back Maven!! Hope it's legit. I will d/l sample and check it out and compare to the XanaX copy i have.

wow that's a first of someone giving a maven copy a 5 for video.......the pictures look clear though.....good god, I can't believe it, I guess that' why in the nfo, maven said they were not happy with this release! hmmmmm

Some ppl might have a MaVen Pre site and not sit by waiting for the favorite torrent sites or xdcc channel to have it trickle through.. unless MaVen has joined the underbelly of the scene .. aka P2P/Torrent/XDCC losers.. then its a FAKE..

The dark scenes in this movie spoil this movie. Audio is ok but slips out of sync in places. Not one of maVens better rlses. Dare i say maVensupplieR not far behind nowadays ?

SeeDee MKII

Pretty good release. Havent noticed any sync problems yet, but just skipped through the release. The quality of this release is like the quality of clerks 2 release from LRC. I have no problem with the dark scenes.

V:8
A:8
M:? (going to watch this release)

Based on the sample (which is a day scene):

8/8/?

Video would be 9 if not for the slight flicker (and keep in mind when I watch the whole thing the video rating could come down when dark scenes are taken into consideration). Audio is damn nice in the sample. If it goes out of synch VirtualDub can fix it. Lesser groups try to pass lower quality releases than this as telecines. Can't wait to watch this when I have time this week. Thanks, maVen for making my movie summer. X3, Superman and this were the big three that I wanted from you.

LOL, it always cracks me up how every time maVen goes two weeks without releasing anything some people assume they "went underground" or whatever, yet there are still people here who pine for Centropy to release whatever movie they wanna see.

v8 - like the guy above me said, a slight flicker, but not too bad

a9 - cant get much better, im always impressed with mavens audio

V=8

A=8

M=? Not watched full release yet just parts to check quality

Haha I think its funny when people thought this release may not have been maven it was rating 5's and 6's for video soon as people found it was real up the ratings go to 8's and 9's :-S

From the sample and 2 samples i cut from the dark parts.

V=7 Flicker as mentioned in the light parts and slight ghosting in the dark scenes.

A=8 I coulden't see their lips in the dark scenes (it's that dark) but the splashes and such seem to be in the right places.

M=5 The nfo from STRESS CAM sums the movie up "Plot outline on imdb is long as fuck, so we'll sum it up real quick. Bitch in the water, doggish thing in the bushes, lame shit, enjoy."

Yup..

People still complaining or saying another group is behind? Maven is straight TS and you can't compare a cam group with a TS group. This video is good, with it being a dark movie it is harder to give us a better product. This is as good it will get for video here. Overall the video is very nice and the sound is direct with good clarity. I'll take direct sound anyday with out tinny hollow sounds. Amazes me how many comments aren't even rating the release. Maven surprised me this time, I just knew they would have shown up with a cartoon. Thanks for the effort you guys produce even though some think you owe us, they're wrong.

V-8

stfu and stop bitching. Props to maVen on another accpetable release.

v: 8 - slight flicker
a: 9 - nice and DIRECT.
m: ? - M. Night's films are always worth a watch, but as for now ive only skimmed parts.

Based upon sample:

V: 7 (Pretty good only really light flicker)
A: 8
M: ?

Their nfo leaked before they pre'd somehow.

ok ill set this 1 quick ok quality nothing great as a movie 7/7/5 and one for englishlad stfu u pure noob go sit down and use limewire u tool

EnglishLad you have a big mouth for such a lamer. You are gadmin of Belivers, i mean come on. you call that a group? so stop calling out people on this board and work on getting some real rls's j/o

Um just to let people know, that superman was not the last releas by maven. Pirates Of The Caribbean was and it was stolen from maven by PUKKA and Dank.........Even Maven Supplier said the same thing that the maven source was stolen before maven could pre it. so maven is still on track with releases. I watched sample, video looks fine, sure not their best release but 10 times better than what's out there. Pretty much what you are gonna get til a TC or dvd rip comes out.

Hope they come out with Monster House and Devil Wears Prada next

If this is or is not a MaVen rls I couldn't care less. It's pretty crappy.
Way too much pixilation, there is that flicker, and the dark scenes are just that, dark. Still probably the best release to date but that's not saying too much. The rest are even crappier.

V 6

A 6

M ? Am watching now. May be able to stomach the quality

I just watched the first 30 minutes of it and its much better than the XanaX version!! Nice job Maven....it is not fake. It is not the same source as the XanaX version..


Video - 7
AUdio - 8
Movie...not done with it

Considering the fact the movie is really dark, the quality and compression of this release is pretty good. Still camed dark movies are often painful to watch.

V: 7 - By far the best quality avaible atm.
A: 8
M: 1 - Boring, stupid... this guy has a constant quality drop with every new project he directs. Now this is real crap.

Roger, you're the one who blows. Alexnasty was right. Why are people saying Maven is back.....they never left. They were about to release Pirates last week but Dank and Pukka stole their source. Hence, thats why u saw the screenshots up for a lil bit and then they got taken down. They obviously couldn't release it so they just moved on to Lady in the Water. So Roger, before you start insulting people, know your shit first. I think Maven is an awesome group and their nfo's in the past have targeted other groups but this nfo was directed at us. When you set a standard for high quality, what do you expect people to do. You (Maven) need to learn how to take constructive criticism. I judge each release according to their quality and don't care about the group name. And by the way, why do some of the dark movies come out dark and other dark ones don't. You would think once you fix or solve the cam brightness problem on dark movies, then any other dark movie after that would be fine. After all the shit talking to other groups, you (Maven) probably don't shoot all of your releases afterall. Please don't take anymore shots at the public, without us nobody would care about you.

Now the rating for this movie

Video: 6 Good on the day scenes, unwatchable during night.
Audio: 8 Loud and clear audio. Outta sync in a couple spots
but no biggie.
Movie: 2 Horrible. I hope Mr Knight gets a clue and gets back
to making hits like "Signs" and "The Sixth Sense".

another good release....lil dark, but its a dark movie so what can you expect...looks pretty decent on the tv!!!

8/8 <seems nice a dirrect> / 6 about 45 min into it now, seems to be a typicall hollywood movie

good quality release

v: 7
a: 9
m: 6

Video: 6 -> the cam gets hit or something and it goes off screen for like 5-10secs miss half a scene or what not and also it's dark at points

Audio: 8 -> clean sound

Movie: 7 -> it wasn't that bad, but i felt it was rushed and if it got a bit more extended it would of been better

What can i say...its dark. You're right, i know it. Its a very dark movie, and even with some brightness/gamma correction, there are still some scenes that are just black where you can't tell whats going on. Its still the best cop out, and probably the best we'll get until a screener. It not cropped bad at all like others mentioned. AR is good, and i'm not seeing pixilation like others are complaining about. Video is nice except for the dark scenes. at 52:30, the camera is dropped, and has to be readjusted, and refocused for a few minutes.
Audio is great. Direct, with no FM static, or glitches. Absolutely NO sync problems.
I was highly disappointed with this movie. I read good reviews, and was expecting another Signs, but this was nowhere near the same caliber. This is definitely at the bottom of the M.Night list for me. Glad i didn't spend $ on it.
V - 7
A - 9
M - 5

CATBOX

Went in with an open mind, and I suprisingly liked M's Village which was slaughtered by critics as this one is being. But... this film is absolute Crap. A 'What were they thinking? [besides cash]' movie. Boring as hell and add to that some mediocre acting. Pass this one up.

V6 [dark, check] A7 M2

Video - 6 Too dark to see whats going on in night scenes.
Audio - 7
Movie - 2 teh teh teh terrible

Video - 6
Ehh. What can I say?

Audio - 8
Audio is still improving, it seems. Good to know that even tho the vid didn't turn out how they wanted, they still made sure they got a great audio source.

Movie - ?
I'm scared to watch this now. I saw the commercials and figured it would suck, then I saw the trailer when I went to see potc 2 and thought it might be cool. Now I've read that everybody here thought it sucked.....

On another note, I just saw a maven tagged rls on IRC of You Me & Dupree, but the sample looked like the mavensupplier rls, only more pixely and washed colors. Not that it's really relavent, but just to let anyone else who comes across it know.

m knight shamalan trying to get creative again.... but fails


why didn't they call this lady in the swimming pool.

the kings of the underground....another nice production for maVen....

Has nobody commented on the horrific audio on this?

Yes it seems to be a direct source but the underwater warbles of the compression make it sound bloody awful IMO.

Excellent video and maybe it's just me but I couldn't ignore the underwater background noise.

V: 8
A: 5
M: ??

too dark to watch in my opinion.

i dont know how you guys could watch that, very hard to see clearly during the night time scenes.

seemed cropped quite a bit, colors were somewhat vivid, also needed to be a tad bit more focused.

v 6.5
a 7
m didnt watch all of it due to the very dark scenes.


thanks for the try maven, not your fault as this flick is very hard to film.

Did anybody watch the whole release? At the end, you can hear the whirring of the cam and then applause from the audience, so in my opinion it is just heavily filtered cam audio. The video is OK, as people said before, but very dark and a bit blurry. Plus the fact that the cam gets knocked off its tripod halfway through is kinda funny... takes about 5 minutes of zooming in/out and repositioning til the pic finally calms down. In my opinion, this is a mislabeled cam, and should be nuked.

Video = 5 - The interruptions in the middle, and the fact you don't have a clue what is going on in the dark scenes put this pretty low.

Audio = 4 - Filtered cam, with lots of echo. Thats the reason there is no FM hum... it's not direct!

Film = 8 - I've loved all the M. Night films, I don't see how people can think something like POTC is a good peice of cinecma, and rate this flick so low.

I agree with previous poster

Video 5 : Dark scenes I understand are not avoidable. There is a interuption at one point as the cam is hidden for about 30 seconds and then has to be realigned and refocused.

Sound : it sounds direct for 70% of the movie but there were sections that sounded like cam audio. The final few mintues are really bad with the sound of the projector in the backround.

Movie : 7. I kind of like it.
