nice release NBP... audio seems to have a certain.. light faint hiss too it{could be my gay ass speakers}, and video is very clean but dark like the contrast was adjusted too low, overall doesn't seem cropped to hell either.. this seem to be the best copy out so far..

video 8.5
audio 8
movie 8

this version is from the same source as the wrixle xvid and should be nuked, the ar is off as well as not being a tc more like a mislabeled ts so 5/5/7

Video - 7

Audio - 7

Movie - 5

Well, odd darkness as mentioned previously, contrast issue perhaps.

Audio does have a kinda hiss, but a swift meddle with the equaliser and it's gone, so good good.

Movie, hmmm never a fan of kiddy type films but kept me busy.

Not bad. The video is pretty dark and the sound is a bit dull/hollow. However, I saw this in the theaters and it's a pretty dark movie <most> of the time. You can see at the end that the telecine machine does a good job- it's just that the movie is naturally dark.

Video: 8 (bit dark)
Audio: 7 (very hollow, but it's direct and clear)
Movie: 6 (nowhere near as good as the first one!)

Admin?

This release is >this< close to being a good copy but it fails on the contrast (as mentioned above). It's dark and reddish and no amount of dicking about in VLC or whatever player you use makes much difference - except to wash it out. The audio is pretty iffy too, it's missing a lot of low-end sound and as a result sounds hissy and tinny... Best release so far though and it's certainly watchable.

V - 5
A - 5
M - 6 (saw it in the cinema the other day, not as good as the original Ice Age but a reasonable sequel)

No, the movie is not naturally dark, it's just a lame ass encode that has been over-tweaked

I'm sorry son, did you say you saw the movie in the theater? Nope.

I saw the damn movie in a brand new theater, it's frikin dark.

So unless your an opthamologist and are prepared to give me some sort of eye contrast disorder diagnosis, get bent.

This is complete BS. Just look at the opening 21st century logo sequence to see that this copy is way too dark, oversaturated and redish.

No way you have seen it in theater otherwise you'd see the difference. This TC is simply unwatchable.

Its crazy that theres been so many TC releases of this film yet all of them seem to be dark/bad audio. Usually just one TC release comes out nice.

Hopefully a nice looking version surfices soon- i don't want to have to do something crazy like you know......get up and go to the cinema

Did you read my original review? I already said the release IS dark. However so is the damn movie. Throughout 75% of the movie there's a dark cloud hanging over the valley they're in... it has a very blue/dark setting up until the very end.

I'm not disagreeing w/ anyone that the encode ISN'T dark... all I'm saying is the movie is naturally dark to begin with. So no matter how good the TC is most of you would still bitch about it being "too" dark.
