sample has a loudness in background to it?? not sure if thats movie or not.. hard to hear people...but pic looks decent on it.. DLed a rar.. it sounds fine elsewhere.... So i assume thats just the one part.. Bad place to make a sample folks.. just a suggestion.
from the sample the background sound is very loud
8/8

ask for a release again and you're banned .P
Sample looks gerat.... Anyone know if this got nuked anywhere else? NUKED REASON-bf.... WTF is bf.....
8/8/3 (sucked...)
its now 2.20 am in the morning here in the uk but this release has woken me up time to make a cup of tea and settle down with this quality release 8/8/? hope the film is as good as the reviews
this is the version I've been waiting for...very very nice....solid quality pic and audio..from the full release its excellent..I like the way they hard press the english subs over the video. Only thing in french was the intro credits..and fin at the end... I did some touch ups to the video and enhanced the audio with audiocity..and now its great and balanced and the video looks dvdquality with my edits..thanks to tmpgenc Xpress.
8/8/7 movie was good but not great..great special effects throughout.

rumors of repack to fix sound.. yes..no?
__________________
-paleh0rse-
If there are rumors to fix the sound then why has the sound received an avg of 8.4? I couldn't imagine anything with that rating needing to be fixed. I'd like to get some objective opinions from members that actually have the full release and not just a sample..
I have the full release, although i have not viewed it yet - only a few rars here and there. To me, the sound is fine. I didn't find anything wrong with it - nothing at all. Although it may be fucked in certain parts of the release, but i didn't notice it. No repack has been put out yet either.
This release is better than their last, picture is a little dark & grainy as usual, but it's very very nice. Sound is great .. love it
8/8/? - I'll probably watch this one tomorrow. Looks good & the ratings are great.
*I'm rating the sound an 8 from what i've heard of it, same with the video. If my opinion changes about this release after i finish viewing it tomorrow, i will surely update this post.
ive noticed with the majority of maven and videocd's releases they are very quiet, i usually have to turn my tv up more then half, which is quite loud...anyone else have this problem?
8/8/?
(not yet watched full film)

just finished d/l ,burning,and watching random parts on the tv....looks superb
After having sat thru the disgusting silver of the POT and fbC rls, maVen's colors and brightness show how the film was meant to be seen....it actually looks like an entirely different movie, the quality difference is so much better.
Sound, nice , same maven ts . I think the loudness of the background music ppl are reporting is actually the way the film is meant to be...i.e. very grandious and overpowering.
No sync issues noticed. N pixelation noticed.
P.S. typical maVen french source..as the opening credits/title are in French....but....as a true sign of attention to detail...notice in first scene in the blimp when the old German guy talks...(the original film has USA subtitles, and maVen's source has French subs, but maVen manually added in English subs, crisp black bg with white letters,so as to pls the non-French reading ppl like us......bravo). That subtle attention to detail is appreciated.
very very clear copy keep up the good work maven =)
8/9/9
way to go maven gotta dl it ill be back with rating.

Bravo maVen.
You are consistently bringing quality to the table it seems.
I watched a few rars and the sample, so I am not basing on the entire release, just a few rars from cd1 and cd2 + sample. This movie was grainy and dark on the big screen so I understand why this one seems a little less nice looking than other recent movies from you.
Props for another fine TS.
8/8/8 (I saw this movie in the theatres on Saturday afternoon and loved it. If you like "oldschool futuristic" than this is the movie for you to watch. Movie starts out kind of shitty but gets better.)
10/10/8 as far a telesync goes. Dont think it gets better than this.
EXCELLENT...video is awesome, fast scenes have no pixeling at all, as far as i can tell from watching cd1. Audio perfect as well.
They even provide english subtitles for foreign language dialogues. They seem to overlap the french ones with english. Not sure if it's mavens doing.
overall quality compared to dvdrips and telecines, and digital 5.1 audio.
7/7/8
no point in waiting on another release. this is the one to get as quality and sound are usual maVens reputation. so,grab it while you can. movie was pretty crap though

nothing to complain about here video look as good as any other maven release's audio sounds damn good as always
pic 8.5
aud..8.5
movie...7.5
I found this rls to NOT be up to maVen usually standards.. The pic is noticeabley dark at times and the audio has about the same quality as there RE:2 rls..So for those of u with Home Theaters, u just have to crank the volume a notch or two and it sounds fine Anyways, its still a great movie, and the best rls we are probably going to get SO enjoy it. By the way, They mention somehting about the darkness and halos in the NFO..It's definitely a sweet rls..PRops maVen..Enjoy!!
7.5/8/8
ya nice rls from maVen. Video is nice, a little dark and some slight fuzzyness but nothing major. Audio is low but thats easly fixed. movie looks like utter crap.
7/7/?

Movie was alright, great sfx but the acting and the plot were just utter shit.
Pic was ok, dark in places as said in the nfo. Audio though was too low, i actually had my TV turned up to full volume to watch this and it was about loud enough.
Pics good audio is good just another gr8 maVen Release
8/8/?
Am glad to see this one out.. and low sound will not be a problem for most

"Its a telecine fool"
video......ok what i have scanned through so far picture quality is what i expected i give that an 7.8......for mavens version.....yes it is dark and different but not mavens fault it is the way the movie was made i.e actors against a blue screen with background layered in....
audio i give it a 7.5 a little low and to me it seemed a little hmmm muffled(did anyone else notice it was muffled too)......kinda like someone putting a heavy cloth over a speaker but a hell of a lot better then cam audio
movie.......as for movie itself i haven't sat down to watch the whole thing.....unpacked it this morning and checked bits and pieces out before heading to work....but i kinda like this genra of movie so based on that alone i will give it an 8
7.8/7.5/8
Right on the Mark Maven. When compared to the online Trailers the video is very very close! The audio was NAILED right on the mark! Great suround and the low vibration of machinery for the period was included. Perfect job of encoding. I hope by this film a standard could be set on how to encode.
Absolute 10 on the sound again..very cool

Is anyone having any trouble burning this to cdr to play on a standalone player? It plays fine on the puter but for some reason when I burn it with Nero it wont play on the standalone.

I'm not quite sure what you people want out of a Telesync?
The pic is a little blurry in fast action scenes, but you can overlook stuff like that for quality like this! maVen is THE group of the scene.
8/8/8.5
When one falls, another rises to take their place...
just finished watching it ill give it a 9/9/8

As for the movie. As usual another great release by MaVen. Your releases are by far the best out there.
Keep up the good work.
Video is a little fuzzy\dark at times.
Audio is great
Movie is ok.

I'm surprised there is such high praise for the video. I thought AVP and Resident Evil 2 looked far better than this. This is still good, obviously, but grainy with so-so colors. Sound is great, wasn't low for me at all, although the explosions lacked some punch.
The movie could have been great with a retro Flash Gordon/The Mummy comic-booky type feel to it, but everyone just goes through the motions and ALL the characters are hollow and don't show any personality at all other than the sidekick Derek(?) guy a little.
And the chick... is the audience supposed to like her? She shows in the first scenes how dumb she is, then she shows how she's only out for herself and lies to the guy all the time, and then later she tags along and is a big pain in the ass and is only good for getting them into trouble constantly. And who didn't see the blatant Wizard of OZ foreshadowing and "one picture left" stuff coming? bleh. Who made this crap?
7/9/5 I would have given it a 4, but giant robots are cool.
video - 9. excellent quality
audio - 6. somewhat low volume...why is it nearly always low? Cellular-fbC had excellent volume level, it was a real exception. on most other TS releases volume is low. I think this should be part of our rating, because if you use some DX plugin to increase the volume by even 10-15 decibel, the overall quality of audio decreases dramatically. And it's not much different if you simply increase the volume on your tv/headphones or whatever.
movie itself - 4. It's funny at times, I gotta admit that, but it's incredibly stupid. Like when they are talking about WW I. hello?!! this movie takes place before the outbreak of WWII, so there was only ONE WW at that time! What's the purpose then of giving it a number? Bunch of idiots
Plus once again the germans are the evil guys. It may have been justified at the time when such comics which this movie alludes to were popular, but today Germany ain't the evil guy any longer. Hollywood is SO out of touch with modern times...
The whole script would fit on the side of a matchbox. If you ask me what this movie is about...I have no idea, it's mostly about the special effects (which are nothing spectacular, btw).
The scene where the main protagonists are hunted by the prehistoric bird is stolen from Jurassic Park 3. And the scene where the guy hits the girl in the end so that she wouldn't follow him is stolen from Demolition Man. Hollywood is boring, copies itself all over again for the 1000th time.
Oh, forgot to mention, thanx to Maven for translating the french subtitle into english. the one about nipples
I must be the only 1 having probs trying to get this flick..i try dl the 1.6gb version but i get a messed up file..wierd thing though it says i dl all 1.6 gb's..but i only receive maybe 1/4 of the files..can anyone explain where the missing files went?
P.S. saw the movie in the theater and thought movie had a real good retro feel to it but only an ok storyline..from the jpegs i see of the movie it looks no different in regards to the ghosting people mention..its like that in the real movie..
thanx for any help you can offer

well since its a pal copy when i encode with canopus 1.5 i make sure i put the volume audio filter to the max and when i play it in my dvd player its just like watching a regular dvd with surround sound thanxx maven.

Big props for the subtitle work.

7/7/5
I thought this flick was gonna be alot better than what it was. I guess this just isnt my kind of movie. The Video is really good and crisp. Like someone said earlier, the "ghosting" effect I think is from the way the movie was filmed to look like an older type sci-fi flick. The Audio was also very good. Typical maVen quality which is always Excellent. maVen is quickly becoming the standard for Telesync. Thanks for all the hard work you guys put into every single release. It really shows in your releases the time and energy that yall put into them and I believe that is what makes yall so consistent with Excellent Quality releases. Keep em coming and again Thanks for everything. You guys at maVen are awesome!

Not a bad flick 7/9/7 Great sound though I had to squint to catch some of the visuals(they did say dark) easily adjusted though. The movie was so so interesting enough to keep me at my seat but not enough to pause it fer a bathroom break
Thanks fer another great release maVen
Picture is a bit grainy and the colours are really bad. Sound is to low. The movie itself is not that exciting, but at least it´s inventive so Ill give it a 6.
6/6/6
i injoyed it not as good as i hoped but still injoyable
tad dark in some sceens but still watchable
scores for telesyncs pic quality shouldnt go over 6 some dvdrips dont even get that
6/9/8
[::Edit:: You're supposed to give marks out of 10 based on the source, so a TS can have a 10 if you want - Neversoft]
7/8/9
Picture is weakest point--but very watcheable. some scenes too dark or too washed out..But definately a nice job by maven..
Sound (8)- pro logic kicking in--surround sound...extremely nice- needed it cause the movie had so many explosions--well done!
movie (9) - one of the best this summer- excellent action and suprisingly great love story and acting! all around nice flick! go see it!! better than most others out..
Once again maven provides an amazing release. Kudos to you and thanks alot. Also great job on the english subs. I was able to fix the darkness without sacrificing much of the quality. Liked the movie a lot.
8/8/8

Sky Captain was pretty well done other than it was a little dark but I guess that's how the movie is.
Video: 8 Audio: 8.5 Movie: X
Not a bad release (I am watching it as I am typing) seems a tad dark in places, but for me at least the audio is v good. Def like this release and hope the movie turns out to be a cracker.
Video: 6
Audio: 8
Movie: ? - Will finish review shortly when movie is over
