Yep, the weird angle is still there, but it's a little less pronounced this time around. The other major flaw of the "new" Centropy is more pronounced this time--- motion blur. Also, the picture quality isn't *quite* as good as View From The Top (an 8 instead of a 9), but it's still better than any other TS out there. (With CTP, I judge them based on previous CTP releases, just to be fair to the other groups). NFO was kinda light, I was hoping for another rant, even if I didn't agree.

Audio is first rate, and so far this movie ROCKS. Just wish they could solve the boom mike problem. Er... I mean... the weird angle problem. It's always something, eh?

Guys, always-- THANKS.

Regarding the boom mics, the consesus was that the movie was not masked as it should be and was projected with more areas shown than was originally intented. See Scooby Doo special effects for good example of this. You were actually getting MORE than you would if you had gone to the theatres and watched it there. An Extra Picture Edition, of sorts

Must say they took a step back. Still a blur and color run off.Nice sound. And the angle will not go away people. They are forced to the shoot the film up close to get this high quality. Or you can have them shoot directly on from far away and get the blint pixly tint so you decide what you like better.

7/9/8

*sigh* ............. ok

ok for all the people who are going to complain about the angle.......

heres the deal ( or atleast what i can only assume out of general knowledge )....... ok when you are in a dark cinema and you want a nice straight on picture you will have to sit on the higher seats.... am i wrong?? .... no

ok so when your on the higher seats it means you are further back...... ok so there you are sitting right at the back of the room.... its a dark room.... cameras need a lot of light .... hell thats how they work..... so if youre sitting that far back its very difficult to get vibrant colors.... we now have a blue tint with dark picture.... blue tint is because of the darkness and the color of the image coming thru makes eveything seem blue in the dar.... we know this because pirates have suffered from it for years.

now they have to ge alot closer to get nice colors.... uti can do it because the cut of the edges of the movie alot.... im sure centropy dont want to miss the edges....

thus the have to sit closer so everyone will shut up about the blue titn and lack of color........

to get it straight on they would have to somehow suspend the camera in the dead centre of the room ..... is it realy worth all that hassel ?

anyway i know ive rambled on a bit much so ill leave it at that .......it just pisses me off when everyone cry about the angle so much ......

anyway ...... nice picture ... good sound .... id say about 8 for both ... movie .. i dunno

and also .... why do people say "angle is still there " its not like people cant tell them selves from the jpgs !?!

oh by the way this wasnt directed at anyone in particular .... just figured id say what i thought

Why are we always having to choose between two extremes?? How's about they back away enough to lessen the angle problem, while still shooting close enough to avoid the overly dark pixellated issue? Maybe that's what they did on this release vs. View From The Top? I'd take a little less quality for a little less of Crispin Glover's elongated chin. If they have exclusive access to the theater, I'd say use a ladder. (If they don't have exclusive access, a ladder might draw too much attention to what they're doing). Man I luv this group.

I agree with pezley for the most part. But lorddusty makes a good point also. Whatever the case, Centropy generally sets the standard.

Whatever they're doing to compensate for specific limitations, my only question to them would be, What changed from the old releases? That was a standard they established, but struggle to meet it now. Is it equipment? Accessibility? Operators? Has the whole group been transformed? Notice you don't see the custom Centropy intros on their releases anymore...

I'll still watch anything they put out...

8/8

It's great to see Centropy well and truly back and striving for quality again. However, is the mission statement of the *new CTP* to only release the worst in mall-rat fodder hollywood flicks? They seem to be concentrating on releasing only the most mindless drivel that the movie industry has to offer.

::Has there been a good movie out to release? heh i dont think so

oh, definately centropy does set the standard ..... and i respect everything they and other groups do for us

maybe YOU can get good colors from the back..... but they obviously cant ..... i think the telesyncs are fine as they are ....

sure id like a better angle..... but what we want we cant always get

anyway i mainly posted my post just cause it pisses me off so much when people complain about the angle

if it was on one release ... sure ... they made a mistake.... but it seems a regular thing.... im sure they are trying to resolve it and will in time make things work.

anyway nice to hear replys on the matter

another awesome rls by Centropy. It is sort of funny though. Normally we wouldn't complain about what they are complaining about with this release, but due to such a superb release, people always need to find a reason to complain.

Ever since they have "come back" they have had problems, and with each new release, they improved. I'm sure eventually they will have it down perfect soon, maybe for X2.
