Another fine rls by maven. Building a good rep so far all above par rls's. Nice choice for the sample. Video looks great on a TV very detailed and only has minor visual ticks on very dark & light scenes on the PC. Audio is encoded well and sounds good even when very loud. From what I've seen so far the movie is kinda lame.

P.S. J3BUS get to the theater on tyme!

8.5/9/5

Posted by vip3r on 08-23-2004 07:18 AM:

maVen doesn't need to give themselves a "good rep." They have VideoCD's source, and everyone knows that they were good, so obviously maVen is as well. They're foreign, so don't expect them to release the shit the minute it hits theaters. They need time to encode/film it very nicely/get the dts audio.

Anyways, nice release, movie looks just ok. Great sound on this one, pic is nice as always.

8/9/?

To your post below: They built a good rep on their first and second release, and thanks for editing your post with my audio/video ratings after i posted/reposted - but then changed after viewing some of cd1 !

Posted by Phi on 08-23-2004 07:24 AM:

All grps need to prove themselves and source alone doesnt make the grp. As for the rest ty for stating the obvious like your in the know

LOL Yes I stole your ratings... get over yourself :P

8\10\?

Seems to be a slight flicker, no big deal though. From what little dialog there was, audio is as good as it gets. Not expecting to be entertained much from this movie, but you never know. Will rate movie after watching whole thing.

Posted by brr8760 on 08-23-2004 08:02 AM:

Well, it's obviously not "VideoCD's source" any mo'. Thanks, maVen, for taking the time to do it right. The chef may be great, but if the waitress trips and splatters the food all over your date, it don't mean a whole lot, you know what I'm saying....

No subtitles of major significance that I can remember from the Theater release. There are a couple African lines uttered, but they weren't meant to be subtitled. Other than that, I think there's an initial scene setup that may be in French.

Posted by BLUE-NEO on 08-23-2004 08:42 AM:

decent release, from cd1 it is bad when m.f'ers take forever to sit down like they had to clean the seat out first or something. overall decent release..no complaints otherwise..

8/8/2 movie was shit didn't even get interesting until like the last 7 mins and even it was stupid...the original rules can't replace that.

Video-8
Sound-9 It's DTS and crystal clear
Movie-8 Saw it Saturday night and I enjoyed it and thought it was decent. Of course it wasn't has good as the original classic.

Was a bitch to get in. The movie's R and I'm 16. To get around this I just order the tickets online. The machine was down so I had to go to customer service and have the guy print out the tickets. Guy prints it out and won't give the tickets to me and my friend cause we don't have ID cause we're not 17 yet. Happened twice before with Dawn of the Dead and Troy (but with Troy the guy at the door didn't let us in cause he has a grudge with one of my friends and he was letting people in younger than us too). God damn AMC. I turn 17 in a couple a months and shit like this still happens. I can get in Fight Club when I'm in the 6th grade without a parent but I'm 16 and in the 11th grade and can't get in a movie. Plus I don't do gay shit during the movie. Hell if my friends start talking loud during a movie I tell them to STFU. Anyway my friend's sister was going to see it at another theater so he called her and we just met up with her. Movie starts at 8:05. We get there at 7:45. She doesn't get there until 8:05. By the time we got it me missed probably about a minute of it.

hahe

thanks for your life story there, too bad you couldn't get in, sucks to be 16 i guess sucko...

trust me, you didn't miss anything.

8/8/4

good rls, solid audio and video, no need to go more indepth, as for its al lbeen covered so far.

The movie itself, on the other hand, was a pathetic waste of my time and i want my time back, and all the b/w i used to snag this release, oh, and all my h/d space back that i wasted uncompressing it.

8.5/9/9

Posted by hadrian on 08-23-2004 03:49 PM:

8/7/4. This film is fucking boring, the gore and shocks seemed tacked on (don't people know that films can be scarier with a thing called "tension"), the build up gets tiresome and the tortured children bits are so over used that you just don't care anymore. The end suggests a sequel I really hope they don't make any more.

When someone does a decent Open Water (maVen??), get that it's far far better.

Posted by Miller on 08-23-2004 03:57 PM:

nice rls. just got this one. video is nice a few people poping up in the movie but i can live with that. the sound is their normal great quality. haven't watched much of this but this movie looks good.

Here here hadrian. I check VCD every day for this release and still nothing. I had a look at the CAM but just wasn't worth it. I though by now there would be a good copy as it was released in NA on Aug 20th. Sigh, just have to keep waiting and watch this sh*t in the meantime...

Posted by Ibegoat on 08-23-2004 06:52 PM:

This would be a quality flick except for the fact that its years after the original and its supposed to be a prequal. WTF are they thinking? Don't mess with something thats good. THe movie is directed well. and edited to a tee and thats the only reason it sent chills down my back. I've only seen the sample, but it looks nice. There is a little bit of cropping if i remember the scene correctly, but nothing too bothersome. Colors are great as always from maVen. Props to them 8/8(very crisp)/6

ts dvdrs

ive allways wondered why groups dont just release it on dvd dont encode it to mpeg go straight to vob from the dv wouldnt this improve on the quality.. this is 2004 and its not like weve got 4x cd recorders and dl on a 56k modem or at least give us the option of having it on dvd without having to encode again...

i dont use a floppy disk no more and im using a cd less now i pay 27p for 4x ritek dye disks that burn 8x speed on my flashed 107s

im paying 13p for a 52x cd now a film fits on 2 cds that 26p same price as a dvd......

i know i can get dvds and cds cheaper but im happy with the quality i buy...

i can remeber when everyone was moaning about films being put on svcd but this improved the quality fucking hell i can remember when films were only put on vhs and betamax......and the quality then was really shit......

oh the film 8\9\7

but people do have bandwidth limits and so if everything was rls on dvdr it would take up a whole load of bandwidth and cost far too much. this is why ts are not rls on dvdr

Posted by 104 on 08-23-2004 10:34 PM:

im not saying release all on dvd just give the option of it. it is the future... b\w limits are getting bigger ive got a 3Mb dl with no limit to how much i dl.... there is allways divx and xvid... but it could improve quality... look how centropy got slagged off for doing the first svcd ts and now its the norm people were moaning about 3 cds and the extra b\w then but the quality was improved... why hold it back

When someone does a decent Open Water (maVen??), get that it's far far better.

first off, its boring cause it has a plot...god forbid if anyone remembers when horror movies had plots. you wanna know what happened to the "tension" ? nothing, "tension" is the reason Horror movies are going extinct, it used to be bout the endless evil that killed killed killed till he finally was defeated by the good guy. thats how films like the Gate, halloween, nightmare on elm st, friday 13th, etc did so well, small plots, lots of gore, fast action and scenes that keep you guessing whats next. then the Thriller was invented..the SUpsense thriller, the Mystery Thriller, the Crap Thriller...these ruined Horror movies, by building so much tension that there is just a regular plot, nothing scary just tense scenes that build up to nothing delivering, like the american Ring, Psycho , 6th sense, etc....these are on their own good movies but their thrillers blurr people's perception of what a Horror movie should be. For example , Open Water, that movie sucks...you know why it scares people ? cause it will never happen to them or it has never happened to them. it happened to two people, loosely based off their true events...which means that people are instantly frightened and terrified and intrigued because its something they never experienced. Horror films were dying because people didnt like the same repetitive plotlines...which is what the genre is about, so if you dont like it, its not cause the movie sucks, its because you cant understand the genre. Also as for the sequel, this is prequel to the first one, so try to stay focused on what you are going to go see in the theaters.

again i cant stress that you are the type of person that is wrong with this forrum. disagree ? reread your fucking post. next time try a better translator. IT is a prequel it happens before the first one, not after. Also you watched the sample...thats it, not the fucking movie and you rated the movie, that you thought sucked.. awesome, already you are a moron.

other than that...i think he just describes himself with his comment, i just wanted to point it out more.....votes here are extremely bias, i hope most readers here take precautions on the tripe they listen to.

I guess I see why the mods elected to implement the 'no commentary' rule in these threads. Nonetheless, rules are meant to be ignored apparently .. I'm starting to think that these ratings are far more then subjective based on what I'm seeing here. Some of these comments are characteristic of a vendictive babbling rosy palmed adolescent. I really hope this board stops accepting 'film critic' applications from some of these geniouses that can't tell the difference between their mouth from their asshole.

v: 7 (bit of color correction needed)
a: 8.5
m: 7.5 (good predicate of the classic '73 release)

I think we can all agree as far as commentary goes that movies should be made to be entertaining, not to make money by latching on to a franchise name.

There are actually 2 versions of this movie... The first was dropped by the producers for not being scary enough...so they started over, scrapping the 32 million they spent making it. (the producers plan on releasing that version on dvd later this year...)
IMO, this movie sucks terribly compared to the original. what the hell were they thinking? Between the 2 versions they spent about $90 million; they will never make their money back.
Mavens release: typical Maven quality;6.5/8/3-slightly blurry, good sound, bad movie. Not scary. Just boring. The scariest part is the opening theme (the music) LOL
As for groups releasing Open Water - its a LIMITED release (not WIDE) so it will take longer to get around....

maVen seriously brings it yet Again!!! Man, you guys are just plain Phenomenal. Excellent Quality for Every release! As far as this one goes, the Video is pretty much good! In a couple of spots I noticed some macro-blocks or whatever they are called, but nothing too serious at all. Some parts I thought might have been a little dark but overall, the Video was clear and crisp. Of course you have those Tardy retards coming in late, but nothing major at all. The Audio was near perfect as usual. It really came through on the Home Theater System nicely. The movie itself Rocked as well. Personally, I thought it was done very nicely. I know it's just a movie but Always remember, God is always there for ya. No matter what. Agian THANKS maVen for yet Another Excellent Quality Release. I really appreciate all the Hard Work you guys put in to make these movies happen. You Guys ROCK!!! Looking forward to many more from yall. Thanks

Posted by SToNERUK on 08-25-2004 12:29 AM:

Oakey, just finished watcing this release. As mentioned b4, right at the start of the release 4 people come in and take up the whole screen while sitting down, i'm sure the cameraman felt like slapping them, then shortly after that, some sort of cover is pulled down over the top left of the cam (maybe to hide it?).
The picture isnt one of maven's best releases. Colours are too bright in some places and washed out in others, and in the dark scenes u can actually see the reflection of the camera lens in the middle of the screen.
Sound is perfect as usual.

Vid - 7
Aud - 10
Mov - 5 - It was a reasonable story line, but bits of it have been done before in other films, didnt seem like a horror at all, more like a weird thriller!, laughable in parts.

People walking in front of the camera should be noted in the forums...this forum is about the quality of the release and imo that plays a big factor in how the quality should be rated.

even though i still appreciate the release even if there are people back and forth throughout the movie.

I just came here to read about the QUALITY OF THE PICTURE

Not about your opinion on the moive and the best part is when this happens. You guys give away the movie, don't do that. That is not cool.

Posted by oB_OnE on 08-25-2004 08:35 AM:

vid = 7
aud = 8
movie = wasnt to bad. wasnt to good .. sure as fuck wasnt worth a 90 million dollar budget ...i wonder where alot of that money went??

Posted by Redemption198 on 08-25-2004 02:33 PM:

Very nice pic is clearish and colour is good, could be sharper but im nit picking.
Sound is excellent, especially using DPL2.

Only watched CD1 movie seems a bit slow so far, but entertaining enough.

8/9/7 so far

Maven is the bomb right now!! Great Job. Watched this last night. Sounded great on surround sound. Picture was pretty good. During the dark scenes I did notice what appeared to be a lighter circle in the center of the picture. Not sure what it was. You couldn't see it when it wasn't dark.

Movie was really not that good. I know I shouldn't compare it to the original but if I do, then I can safely say this movie sucks balls for the most part.

video 8
audio 9
movie 4

I dont understand half the posts I see in here. I got so irritated at the incorrect posts I decided to join. This is in fact the worst Maven I have ever seen. Maven has made a good name for itself. I would prefer Maven or Centropy over anything else. I am a little upset they put their name on this one. The pic is blurry, the color is off in spots as well.. The sound is ok. The movie is a letdown. More boring than the original. Atleast its full screen.
For a Maven... It's a dissapointment.
6/7/5

Just to confirm cd2 doesnt require overburn unless you rip the mpg and try to burn it with nero

What the Hell?, Picture was awesome, far better than AVP,..
IE. Specatular motion capture, hardly any pixilation....2 people arrive late in the beginning but so what. Dleted them.

"At least its full screen."
What the Crap?!! The movie was 16:9 with great AR.

Sound was awesome. Better source that last 2 movies.

Video 8

Audio 9 (great with surround snd)

Movie 7

Good work MaVen....You da Man.

Maybe that guy just got his copy from kazaa and got the POT release LOL.
Funny shit ...

Posted by Redemption198 on 08-26-2004 07:24 PM:

I think ur tripping Sir Killalot, are you sure you dont have the POT Version.

The colour is poor in that, looks nearly Black and White, the sound is only bearable and although not FS, it is its a 16:9 shape compared to Mavens which is definetly not FS, looks nearly a 2:35:1 picture, plus the sound on Mavens is as good as it gets for a TS SVCD.

A way to tell is, what scene is the sample?

Posted by sbyrn4 on 08-27-2004 02:55 PM:

err.....maybe its just me but the sound seemed massively out of sync towards the end of the first disc. Still , great Video as to be expected from maVen

ok i have read alot of the posts, i havent posted in a while, but this is one of mavens worst, in the few un dark scenes its all fine and dandy, but i noticed in the dark scenes the color is off, i havent seen the real thing to compare it too, but i screwed with the tv for 10 mins trying to improve this, to no avail, so i watched the ppl with a blueish purplish tint to them, but when the lights were on... once again fine... also the pitch black areas, were looking more purple to me, been a while since i noticed a movie with that... (no its not an .avi=c) oh well, spot on audio, i thought the movie was rather good, enuff gore and storyline, altho i see y some were disappointed, this is almost what I wanted... ok this all said, 6.5/9/8

this happen with burn? i know my copy stayed in sync. if it was a burn try burning it slower, that usually fixes it

Was a bitch to get in. The movie's R and I'm 16. To get around this I just order the tickets online. The machine was down so I had to go to customer service and have the guy print out the tickets. Guy prints it out and won't give the tickets to me and my friend cause we don't have ID cause we're not 17 yet. Happened twice before with Dawn of the Dead and Troy (but with Troy the guy at the door didn't let us in cause he has a grudge with one of my friends and he was letting people in younger than us too). God damn AMC. I turn 17 in a couple a months and shit like this still happens. I can get in Fight Club when I'm in the 6th grade without a parent but I'm 16 and in the 11th grade and can't get in a movie. Plus I don't do gay shit during the movie. Hell if my friends start talking loud during a movie I tell them to STFU. Anyway my friend's sister was going to see it at another theater so he called her and we just met up with her. Movie starts at 8:05. We get there at 7:45. She doesn't get there until 8:05. By the time we got it me missed probably about a minute of it.

Nice release, typical maVen, the movie was terrible, but most fans will love it.

8/8/2

Posted by rickhype on 08-29-2004 07:22 PM:

I think some of you are watching the wrong release if
you are even watching it at all. Saying that this is Maven's worst release is crazy.
the movie imo was better than some of the reviews i've been
reading but not as good as the original.
video was fine and of course damn near perfect audio.

8/8.5/7.5

Posted by djj on 09-02-2004 03:01 PM:

Nice quality indeed. Video and audio are both good. And movie isn't that bad after all, it is still the best Exorcist sequel!

8/9/6

Hey this is the worst maven release.. Its a blurry source. I need help. Does anyone know exactly what model MiniDV camera's these movies are recorded on. Also are they time lapse? I know most are 3ccd models. But mavens recently and Cartel's releases are excellent telesyncs. Also, if a movie is 2.5 hours long, how do they fit the entire movie onto one 120 l/p DV cassette without switching tapes and losing part of the movie? Also, theatre sound is taken from Handicapped booths with direct line-in audio, right? But how is DTS and AC3 extracted from the theater reel?? I am doing my own recording and just looking for people in the know to give me some advice. Thanks.

Posted by Movie_Insider on 09-04-2004 01:35 PM:

Besides the four people that came in to sit down at the beginning of the movie it was very good job! I wanted to yell at them to sit down! 8/8/8

Anyone else can fuck off..!! Excorcist:8/8/7

Video - 7
Audio - 9
Movie - 6

I replaced the tards at the beginning with the video of that part from the POT CAM rls . A bit blurry in some scenes, focus whizzes about on a couple of scene changes and some dark scenes seemed slightly tinted to me.
Maven's sound source kicks ass! Some people have talked about DTS on this - I only got stereo when extracting to make my DVD, so how do I get at the DTS, can someone give me a pointer?
The movie is pretty decent, if a little slow in places. Perhaps this is intentional to build tension but sometimes you can add a little too much salt to the cooking, y'know?
