Someone explain why qpel could possibly be a bad thing. Unless you're trying to play the movie on a 500Mhz system running win98 it shouldn't be a processor useage issue, and all qpel does is make the picture a bit more sharper. Well, it can anyway.
Anywho, watched the flick. My thoughts.
Video: 7.5: Given the usual quality of MVS releases I was pleasantly surprised by this. The video is a bit flickery, but not enough to be distracting. Some of the "sharp" edges are blurred, though whether this is a cam issue or an encoding issue is not immediately clear. Colors are present but muted; the saturation should have been adjusted a bit first.
Audio: 7: It has a light background hum which almost sounds like background noise from the projector. However, the audio is interrupted in two places with static interference, which would seem to indicate it's captured from an FM broadcast. Except for those two places where the static gets pretty loud you don't notice it after the first few minutes of the film, so it isn't annoying, and even when the static kicks up you can still hear what's going on. It also goes out of sync for about 20-30 seconds, then corrects itself Despite the issues the words are clear, there's no sound clipping and nothing makes your ears bleed. Were it not for the three sync and loud static issues this would be a solid 8.
Movie: 8: It's cute and funny. Very family-friendly, but fortunately not the kind of family friendly that only kids can enjoy. There are a few nagging plot holes and some gags which could have been explained a bit more clearly, but nothing that ruins the film. It's also very British, which is odd because the motion blur seems to indicate that the native framerate is 24fps, i.e. intended primarily for a North American release.
