I don't understand it either, imho the whole scene is spoilt as hell, a little out of sync, or allegedly bad ratio and the whole release is nuked.
@those who nuke releases: do you have any idea what pain in the ass it is to get a nuked release? hardly any bots out there and incomplete channels refuse to serve files from such releases.
There is NO good release of Wimbledon out there till now! This one is the best, despite bad ratio, which btw is not true, cause I watched this release on TV and I haven't noticed any probs with it.
So is this the scene policy now? Compare all the releases, select the best one and nuke it? Really, this is not right!
Anyway, about this release:
video - 6. It's bad quality, admitted, but one can see everything all right. One complaint, though: what's the sense in encoding it in mpeg2 if it's shitty quality anyway? mpeg2 has a higher load on cpu during software decoding plus files are bigger in size (means longer download times), but there is obviously no quality improvement compared to mpeg1 (vcd).
audio - 7. Audio is somewhat hollow, so difficult to understand at times, but volume level was perfect, it's obvious that it was increased by the group. The consequence is obviously a degradation of audio quality, but I prefer it this way than audio that has good quality yet low audio volume, in which case you can't hear shit.
movie itself - 7. Err, I am ashamed to admit it, but despite the fact that it's a chick movie, I still kind of liked it. I think it's due to Kirsten Dunst - she's gorgeous and charming as always.
From the intellectual point of view this movie is boring and senseless, it's message being - "One phuck a day takes your sorrows away". Basically, if you screw a girl once a day, you can manage everything, even win Wimbledon. lol.
The whole tennis thing is just mere background, if you are interested in tennis, don't watch this movie, there's nothing in it for you. Just as well the director could have taken the whole tennis theme out of the movie and the movie would still work.
It's just a romance, nothing more. It doesn't work on the metaphorical level either. Remember the baseball movie with Susan Sarandon and Kevin Kostner? Now that movie was different, while the baseball was a mere background there either, it did work on the metaphorical level in the sense that the whole baseball game, its rules, its philosophy were a metaphor for real life.
You won't find anything like this in Wimbledon, not only because the director hasn't got enough intellectual capacity to establish a connection between tennis and real life on the metaphorical level, but also because there is simply nothing there to connect, as I said before, this movie is about nothing, it contains no message.
So who is this movie for? It's not for intellectuals. It's not for those interested in tennis.
It's for people who like insipid family entertainment and for Kirsten Dunst fans. That's it. If you are not part of this group, don't watch! You'll be bored
