Since I've actually seen both releases instead of jpeg judging or sample reviewing they both have good and bad points, here's my opinion:
Video: CTP's is sharper which preserves more detail, darker, flickers (light and dark luminance variation) every few seconds, pixelated during high motion, has more defined colors when it doesn't dull out, tilted on right side, cropped on top and left and displays a fair amount of motion blur but overall very nice. TCF's is smoother which causes loss of detail (maybe a sharpen filter would help you guys), brighter, small flicker only on really bright scenes, not pixelated at all but does have a grainy effect during high motion scenes (pixelation and grainy is not the same thing for those who don't know), a bit blue-er but has ok colors, not tilted, cropped on right and bottom and has less motion blur but over also pretty nice.
Audio: Both seem to be very similar but CTP's is too low and TCF's is too high during action scenes. CTP's goes in and out of sync for me though by a second or so.
Overall: One of CTP's lower quality releases compared to their other work and one of TCF's better releases compared to their other work. I guess whatever floats your boat you guys decide, but both are very watchable. As for the movie itself, I think I'm pretty bored of it now. I watched it in the theatre, CTP's and now TCF's. The next one I'll watch is probably a DVD Screener or retail rip.
