Just so you guys know, this movie is incredibly confusing....

::How about posting on the quality of the release next time or nothign at all.. warned.. -FuzZ::


Posted by buttheaduk on 05-14-2003 05:07 PM:

Sound and picture are acceptable but ill wait for a better release or the cinema, whichever comes first Nice 1 day pre


6/6/*


Posted by simson on 05-14-2003 05:16 PM:

sound is ts, but with a very mean hiss. and picture is way too dark.


Posted by InSaNeOnE on 05-14-2003 05:19 PM:

Pics ok, and sound is hollow but clear (tested trough head phones)


5/6

Its a little light and then dark though


Posted by Wesb0b on 05-14-2003 05:25 PM:

decesions decesions. wait 2 more days to see in theator or now....AHH! Is it worth the quality? its not that good. Sound has a hiss but as stated about it can be fixed with stero tweaking. Pic is a little dark but still very watchable.

Definitely. I've lived my entire life without seeing this movie, so i can wait one more night until i can see it on a big screen with surround sound. got my tix already . Theres no way im wasting my first viewing of this movie on a TS no matter how good the quality is anyways.

As far as VCD TS's go though, its not half bad, just the sound could be a little clearer.

7/6/ (I'm guessing an 11 here)

Checked out the sample. It's pretty decent. Audio is good, not cam, it is direct. Picture is Dark..but, why complain?


5.5/7/----

Posted by zcar on 05-14-2003 05:51 PM:

i have REALLY downloaded this

unlike some others i have really got this film
it is okish
similar in quality to the release of xmen 2 by esoteric
the sound is ok, it sounds direct and the pic is clear if a little washed out and dark/light flickering



Posted by nicci on 05-14-2003 05:56 PM:

really nice rel folks, nice sound, pic a little dark but great pre !

6/7/10

finished disc 1:

7/7/10

Posted by flex0r on 05-14-2003 06:00 PM:

Cool props esoteric

nice to see this 1 day before worldpremiere pre
and the pic is definately watchable i tried it on my tv, sound has a hiss indeed but you can understand what they say

7/6/?


Posted by daizepam on 05-14-2003 06:06 PM:

i must say this isnt the best "TSes" i've seen..neither is it the worst.
vid is well..acceptable. sound has mad hissing. imma repeat what i said to countless channels and tell u guys to just spend a few bucks to watch it in a cinema. for those of you who can't wait...
im sure there will be a stream of INTERNALS or svcd ts coming soon.

6/4/8 (watched 20 mins of CD1 and sample)

Posted by OldSchool on 05-14-2003 06:25 PM:

And so it begins....

Gotta say this is better then I was expecting the first release to be, good job eso
Still the quality is probably not fitting to watch a movie like this. 5-5-?


Posted by XeroFightsAlone on 05-14-2003 06:27 PM:

and the madness begins.....4/4/anything higher than 10

Burned the sample. Surprisingly good for a pre, and much better than I expected from ESO. Yes, it's a tad dark, and it could be sharper, but I didn't notice much of a hiss-- perhaps I never turned my treble back up from the last time I heard a hiss. The reviews here have been positive, for a reason. GREAT JOB ESO, you brought us a watchable pre!


Posted by Starlord on 05-14-2003 07:32 PM:

yep its a bit noisy.... and its a bit dark... but its watchable and a killer film

great release...


6/5/10

Posted by mgrd on 05-14-2003 07:34 PM:

for such an anticipated movie its not the best quality. Should see movies like this in the theatres neways. 4/4/?

Posted by MpegMan on 05-14-2003 07:41 PM:

The hiss is a bitch. Picture is too flicker. I'll wait 9 and a half hours till I see it in theaters. Nice effort, but you know tons of better releases will be out soon.
*Update*Saw movie. Better then first. You will be VERY confused when you leave the theater (or whatever) but in a good way. It has a cliff hanger to beat all cliff hangers. Its gonna take a while to understand what happend, but man GREAT show. Somebody please pre Revolations ASAP!


Posted by Debo on 05-14-2003 07:43 PM:

Posted by cico on 05-14-2003 07:51 PM:

watched sample on standalone...
quality is no good, but better that first two towers release
5/4/[something high] for me
gotta say that a 9-days-pre (here it will be first-showed on may, 23th...) sounds really nice, but i MUST wait!! ... i... can't...
AAAAAAAGGGGGGHHHH!!!! *click* *click*


Posted by djarum on 05-14-2003 07:56 PM:

I just watched the sample and it is no where near as bad as some people are saying. There is a slight flicker (I've seen ALOT worse.) and I don't quite hear the hiss everyone is talking about. The audio at least in the sample is nice and clear.

I give it a 6/7/?


Posted by HoldDaSalad on 05-14-2003 08:16 PM:

Sample isn't that impressive, 4/3/? waiting and waiting.....and waiting to find out. Curious though does this have the 30 second preview of matrix revolutions after the movie?

As if everyone already didnt mention, dark, hissy, why would you even watch a TS of this. Some movies you watch as TS and some you dont! This is a movie where you go collect bottles or whatever to get that $10 and go enjoy.

Video is pretty good and sound isn't bad either considering this is 1 day early and the first release. Did not live up to the hype at all though.


Posted by your name here on 05-14-2003 09:07 PM:

this is not bad at all sound seems to be a little on the high side with a slight hiss and video.....well i see a slight angle but i think imma jus wait till tommorow and see it in theaters but overall good rls

Posted by MQ-James on 05-14-2003 09:19 PM:

dunno if true lol but nforce have nuked for mislabeled cam

BTW sample sucked wait for a min SVCD this is crap couldnt bare to watch the whole sample

4/4/?


Posted by Cyclone on 05-14-2003 09:46 PM:

Just grabbed the sample, video is a little dark but watchable, and the sound has a small hiss thats kind of annoying, but also watchable. All around, a nice pre. 6\5\? (I love how everyone gives this movie a 10 or "anything higher then a 10" when most havent even seen it yet. WATCH the movie before you rate it, to give it 10's just because its the Matrix.)


Posted by memoman on 05-14-2003 09:51 PM:

sound hollow with metallic overtones picture colours a little washed dark with flared out areas 5/5/? based on sample
looking forward to movie but nice to see early release even with flaws.


Posted by B18C5 on 05-14-2003 09:53 PM:

Decent quality for a TS, pic is clear but a tad dark (slightly tilted). Audio is direct. But in my opinion even a CTP TS wouldn't do this movie justice unless a screener or dvdrip is available (it'd be too tilted/cropped around the sides). But props anyways ESO, 5/6/11


Posted by slaz on 05-14-2003 10:06 PM:

well I just watched a bit of the first cd whille i wait for cd2 to finish. I dont know why this has been nuked on some sites... theres nothing wrong with the release... its a standard TS.... massive props to eso for winning the race and brining us this pre 1 day early.

There is a hiss and its a bit dark at times. But I have seen worse TS's.

Posted by ixm on 05-14-2003 11:09 PM:

Its a little dark and the sound is kinda low for me....

5/4/*

i'll be seeing this in theatres though.


Posted by lorddusty on 05-14-2003 11:17 PM:

Just grabbed the sample of this, 5/4/9
Ho hymm telesync, the movie is incredible though. And the others are right, watch this flick in the cinema, you'll be glad you did.


Posted by bird on 05-14-2003 11:42 PM:

Ok, i just finished watching the whole movie, and here is how it goes:

First your met with an unzoomed cam, (you can actually see the fireexit) then it zooms in, but audio sounds really bad.
Audio stays really bad for the first 29 minutes, then during a scene with neo and trinity (im not gonna mention what they do), i get a bluescreen for 0,5 second, then BOOM, audio turns into the sweetest thing ever. This audio keeps going the rest of the movie, and the only problems after this, is occational "drumming" like when dumb people are testing microphones.

This is definetly not a cam, for whoever says that. And all the rumors that you can hear people eating popcorn or whatever is plain bulls***. There are not one interfearance in front of the camera whatsoever (of people walking by,etc), thru the entire movie.

But as posted earlier, slight angle, and a bit dark video.

4/2(for first 29minutes)7(for rest of the movie/10

"to be continued" (for those who have seen it all, you know what i mean)


Posted by sleek on 05-15-2003 12:17 AM:

why would you burn a sample?
anyway, saw the sample, sound is pretty clear imo. no hissing for me (must be ProLogic II) the video is pretty bad tho. great that it's a pre, but this is the kind of release you watch only AFTER you've seen it in theaters for plotline reasons. the damn sample has me all suped. gunna go see it tonight


Posted by shorty6pac on 05-15-2003 01:17 AM:

just watched the sample
picture=little dark
sound=little hollow
cost=little bit for bandwidth and cd's
complaints=none

props=all

I have also just finished watching this and I can attest to the trueness of this review from bird. The first 29 mins is a bit dodgy from an audio point of view, but then there is a blue screen for a split second and then it comes back MUCH better, and the picture is better too.

For those who wont be lining up to see the movie asap at a cinema - this release from ESOTERiC has been serisously badly reviewed.... There are probably only a handfull of us in this thread that have ACTUALLY seen this release and I stand by my original post, there is nothing wrong with this TS and it is watchable.

Posted by UltrA1 on 05-15-2003 02:45 AM:

There is a hiss that makes the sound quality drag..
The dark picture makes me wish I had a better copy for the action scenes.
but hell it is still a pre.. 1 day early for me.

I give it a 4x sound 4x video c+ for effort


Posted by Heflink on 05-15-2003 02:58 AM:

Yah, the sample is good.. but not good enough.. I think I'll shell out some cash for this one before I download any of the many versions I am sure will be put out.

Video is a little grainy, audio seems good though.

6/7/?


Posted by scottymac on 05-15-2003 03:07 AM:

Picture fades in/out light/dark in the sample scene and is somewhat grainy.

Sound is a little hissy and tinny.

But..

If you're really dying to see it early and bug your friends, I say go ahead and download'er.

I however, will wait for a better version. But for a pre, this is not too bad at all.

Overall - 6/6/?

Kudos to ESO for a decent pre-release.

Posted by Slackin on 05-15-2003 03:36 AM:

I Used Optical Output sound, with picture on progressive scan, didnt hear any hissing so far in first 10 minutes of film.
Worthy of viewing so I can focus on the Special effects and not the plot when I see it in theatres :P


Posted by commiewhore on 05-15-2003 03:42 AM:

see it in the theater, in the next two days, this copy will be lost by the millions of the rlses coming, so who cares...me, i got tickets and beer, what more do i need ? a blunt ? you are correct, im packing heat too


Posted by CcZ on 05-15-2003 04:21 AM:

Ehh...um...
Judging from the sample, it looks alright. However, I don't know how it appears in the action scenes, the sample wasn't a great judgment. I hate how the color gets light and then dark, that factor pisses me off. Audio isn't horrible, but it isn't great. It has a little hiss. This is on par with other ESO releases, and basically, is on par with the average telesync (lol...or should I say CAM). 5/5/x
Whoever watches this whole release will be beaten tomorrow with the ball from my mouse. See it in theaters, please, for the love of god! How can we let Spider-man have a bigger opening!?


Posted by X400 on 05-15-2003 04:28 AM:

The movie is showing already in canada and the quality of this doesnt do the movie justice wait a day or two for a better one


Posted by AphexTwin on 05-15-2003 04:59 AM:

Quality isnt that bad, i've seen alot worse.

I for one will be seeing it in the cinema before i get hold of it.


Posted by Uncle_Mart on 05-15-2003 05:16 AM:

Picture isnt as bad as everyone is saying (as long as you up the brightness) , Sound is a little hissy at times but not once could I not understand what was being said , everything else was on par. Props for the early release

Gonna have to see this in the theatres....


Posted by napalmfuzz on 05-15-2003 06:04 AM:

i got an idea...... stop telling people to see this in theatres.. it isnt pertanant to this thread.. either rate the release or nothing at all.. its getting agrivating

Posted by AngelDeath on 05-15-2003 08:23 AM:

Being a Matrix fan, I couldnt wait for any further releases, so had to get the first that came out. I got to say that its watchable, but straining at times, the sound could have been much better it wasnt really hollow on my player, but more muffled like there was something over the mic. The Pic could have been done a bit brighter and less grainy. Also it seems at times near the end of the first CD the encoding was not well done cause the player seemed to jump to the beginning of the movie and I had to rewind to get it to work right. But I'll be waiting for the DVDRip before I get another release.

Ratings for the release:

Video: 4
Sound: 4

Rating for the Movie:

Special Effects: 8
Story Line: 7
Overall Movie: 7

Being a big fan, I have to admit, I was not impressed as I thought I would have been. Oh well, let's see what Revolution brings in Nov.

the picture quality of the film is completely watchable through my xbox and on my tft, 3 minor split second glitches but wtf can u expect from a ts

the sound was clear as long as i turned bass down and surround mode on (again maybe a couple of minor glitches)

good job getting this film so soon guys!! i owe u one:')

pic rating = 8
sound rating = 8
overall rating = 8

its just a bit of a let down considering the hype about it but i cant help creaming myself for revolutions!!

have phun guys !
and thx ESOTERiC !


Posted by insyder19 on 05-16-2003 01:16 AM:

just saw it, video is fine, the sound is something really bad, like 10-20 mins of the movie only the left speaker worked..

the movie is awesome.

6/4/9


Posted by Dacre22 on 05-16-2003 01:52 AM:

Lightbulb Not that bad

I didn't think this release was that bad at all...very watchable indeed. I just got it onto a dvd player with the brightness turned up to full. The film itself is a pleasure to watch. It really leaves you thinking about the possibilities at the end. I hope that the next part won't let it down but I can't see that happening either. Now I just can't wait!!!


Posted by b-wiz on 05-16-2003 02:56 AM:

Saw sampler and made me even more anxious to see it but fuggit i can wait. 5/4/10


Posted by KrackZaa on 05-16-2003 03:02 AM:

hmm just like to know why this got nuked considering it was a day pre and the first release, and also it was very watchable, if youre gonna nuke an eso release try basic not this one. this is highly watchable, i saw this release last night and saw the movie in theaters today and i can say honestly i didnt miss a thing, great job eso, shouldnt be nuked.


Posted by RUiNU on 05-16-2003 03:48 AM:

Not the worst release I have seen but not great

6/4/9.5


Posted by Tweezer on 05-16-2003 04:42 AM:

I dont think many people watched this release all the way through, this release is very watchable but kind of annoying

First few seconds of the movie is zoomed out and very horrible audio, the audio patch comes in, the levels on the audio clip a little but overall good. A little into the release one channel went out but came back later, the camera is shaken slightly throughout the whole movie, the second disk brings several new problems, the camera again zooms in and out during the part where they are looking for the keymaker, the cameraman keeps adjusting for a good 2-3 minutes, and ends up with the camera angled, the camera stays angled through the remainder of the movie

overall decent release, watchable


Posted by vDave on 05-16-2003 07:26 AM:

Release

Very watchable rls, major props to eso for this!

I would rate (after watching the entire thing)

6.5/6.5/7.5

In the first few minutes, a bit of setup (zoomin, center, etc) but then it was fine throughout the rest, essentially. A momentary blue blip here or there.

No sound was missing that I could tell, certainly not lots. At most, 3 seconds spread throughout both CDs

I had to decrease contrast alot and increase the brightness all the way to get the best picture.

Considering I had the first half the night before its release here, this was great.

The version you have is pretty good. I am searching and observing. I am totally new at this, so any tips that I may need to know would be appreciated. I love the matrix and can't wait to se reloaded.

A bit dark...the sound was ok...imo

6/5/3

The movie itself was a big disappointment though...total crap.

I watched this release last night and it is a prity decent copy.
The sound is dogy for the first 5 mins but then cleans up alot.
There is No missing segments of sound on my copy.
The picture quality is reasonable enough even in the action sequences ( of wich there are meny).
as for the film does not live up to the hype, most of the film is taken up with people hanging on ropes kicking people, Seen it beffore (rember you did it in The Matrix).
Cheers to the guys at ESOTERiC nice realise!

Yeah, everyone turn your bass down for this release. There is no loss of sound as I have watched through the movie myself once and my brother watched it again.

Just finished watching this and not bad.. little dark, little off, sound qual ok.. I'd go 5/5/10 (10 only cause I'm a Matrix junkie). Taking my mom out this weekend to see it in the theater.. as that is the only way you can truly appreciate a movie like this.

Props to ESO for getting the first copy out.

BTW.. I'm a little noob here.. what defines *NUKED*? Never mind the 'nuked' comment

Ok, my short take:

Watched all the way thru, from svideo out to my 24" tv with powerDVD (if anyone cares!).

Picture: For a TS release it's pretty good - not too much waiting for the Cam to adjust to light/dark quick (which is nice). No noticable annoying angle (save the couple of bits in the break of the discs but that's soon sweet). Yup, grainy but you get over it as the film draws you in. So 6 - only cos the rips will inevitably be higher.

Sound: Yeah, not too good. Screws around at first but settles to a reasonable quality (not Direct quality but listenable without being distracting). I wasn't bothered by hiss as I found there was not a lot of treble in the soundtrack anyway due to the quality, so lowering the treble to cut the hiss doesn't really impact on the overall sound. 4.5

Film: Good, lots of fights but does have the stop gap feel. Lots of unanswered bits (some of which Animatrix helps), lots of waffle, and more fights. Oh, and some fights too. 8 (Revoultions will be the one (!))

6/4.5/8

Last words? Free and Way...that's all you need to see...

6/5/9, but still it's good for being the first. very watchable, especially after they fixed the sound 20 minutes in.
