too bad it's PAL, that means we gotta wait for the dvdr releaese ... That sucks!

Movie is good, ending sucks ... but I won't spoil it for anyone, just watch but prepare to be disappointed.

Haven't seen anything but the sample, possible questionable source? Not sure, only rumors, please confirm if anyone hears anything ...

/me holds for NTSC DVDR

I hope someone propers this crap. Wow what a nasty encode. I have never seen a DVDRip like this. I'll wait for a NTSC WS edition. 8/9/X


Posted by commiewhore on 04-03-2004 11:20 PM:

worst dvdrip you ever seen ? and you give it an 8/9 ....dumb rating...anyhow, AR is a little wierd, even though its pal, it doesnt look like retail final....kinda like the Underworld issue...that was a huge mess...anyhow, pic is ok, but in dark scenes, and this movie has many, there as some darker spots then normal...doesnt look right, in the corners...anyhow, my rating

6/8/9 ...i enjoyed the movie, and how can you really fuck up audio

well i usually give dvdrips a 9 or 10 for video but the video quality on that is not really that good... i guess maybe a re-rating of 7/9/X

Thumbs up

weird AR as mentioned typical flix rls more than watchable will do nicely till retail

7/9/9


Posted by boscorelle on 04-04-2004 03:46 AM:

The AR is little off since its PAL the audio has a somewhat of a 'echo' to it if you listen to most of the sound effects things like rustling paper... the movie is awesome it is a very watchable release 9/7.5/10


Posted by SneezyFoSheez on 04-04-2004 07:56 AM:

Damn just watched CD1 and the video is really not that great for a DVDRip I think its more of a PDVD. 4/9/10


Posted by djj on 04-04-2004 08:45 AM:

Like everyone else said it, AR is a bit off but it's still certainly watchable.

7/8/8

telecine?

Looks like a very nice telecine pdvd to me. if you look at the credits at the end, they are slightly crooked which I've seen in alot of other telecines(matrix revolutions, t3 for example). Its definitely the best version out now, video is clear and so is the audio, although the audio sounded almost a bit high pitched, like it was playing just slightly too fast. I only noticed that when the mother was talking though but maybe her voice is normally that high pitched. damn, no wonder why the father went crazy, having to listen to that everytime they have sex would drive me crazy too! =)

Ok so i just finished watching this release.. and thought i'd comment on how good the movie was. Read the posts made already and they all slagged this encode off.

Anyone else notice he's saying its a nasty Encode and (s)he's "never seen a DVDRip like this." yet votes it 8/9 ?!?


All the other posts bitched about it too.. so i came to the conclusion; Either they all need glasses, or my PAL TV / Player plays PAL encodes properly :P
There's a lot of questions asked about the source of this release, some say TC some say Retail DVD.
Its too good to be a TC - But colours are vivid if its a DVD.
Only thing i can think of is that they messed with the Contrast settings in DVD2SVCD (yes, there's 1 option there).

Anyhow - i dont really care. My post is 9/9/10!
Its the best movie i've seen so far in 2k4. And giving Interstate 60 a run for its money as best movie i've ever seen.

Its a mind fuck of a movie that will keep you interested throughout (And its got Amy Smart in!)

no problems here with it look fine! great movie and watched it last night with family good rls.
8/8/10


Posted by jarrett1600 on 04-06-2004 02:52 AM:

No problems here.
Except For the audio issue, it echos with certain sounds, but only in certain parts so it's not noticable.
I like the Pal resolution too


Posted by dontgiveafuck on 04-06-2004 11:58 AM:

god. flix just shitted themselves if this is a fake labeled dvdrip.


Posted by XXXBoX on 04-06-2004 01:55 PM:

Anyone who thinks this is a PDVD or a TC is very misguided and must have watched this on WMP or summat! The only problem i had with this rls was the fact like mentioned in other posts the Audio has an Echo in places! I dunno why this happens and maybe it is meant to! But the picture for me was fine! I live in the UK an i have a PAL player so maybe the people playing this on an NTSC player are gettin some problems! This rip is fine!

9/7(if it isnt meant to echo)/9

Film was very good!

if this wasn't a pdvd there would be a PAL dvdr ... there isn't and FLiX & their DiVX group have been taking a lot of heat on this shit they released. Not good, tsk tsk


Posted by Klaatu on 04-07-2004 04:38 AM:

I seriously don't know what people have been watching because I thought this was well good........both the rip and the film.
A TC? I think not!
Bad ending.....where?
I enjoyed this immensly!
As for it being PAL, well that's a discussion that will never end as people in America seem to find it not only difficult to find players that manage all regions, but to also understand that there is a whole world outside of their continent, whereas in Europe one just doesn't purchase a player that's not multi-region.

I couldn't give a monkey's whether it's PAL or NTSC.
They all play fine on my player.
