Nice and crisp video, though it's slightly interlaced and the angle is still around, but it seems to be not as steep. The audio had no noticable buzz and sounded clear from the sample. Overall the movie seems to blow, if I run out of things to do I might pick this up and watch it, 8/8/?.

Ibegoat, not everyone can choose where they sit. Ever walk into the theater and find nearly every seat filled, with the only choice being to sit at the front row? They probably just got the best seat available. Anyways, that's the only explanation I can think of. How can anyone walk in front of them if they're almost in front?

Anyways, the sample's pretty good. The encode handles the fighting and the explosions pretty well. There's the slight angle problem, that everyone else has mentioned, but other than that it looks and sounds great. You'll forget about the angle in five seconds, tops. Overall: 8/8/?

Nice pic and sound but HORRIBLE movie. Now I am not an old guy or anything, i am in school still and this is an awful movie I hated it. I just watched the UTi cam, definately not wasting my bandwidth on this movie again. It would take someone everybit of 7 years old to write the script. Is it just me or does Vin Diesel not go well with good movies (excluding The Fast and the Furious)?
7/8/3

Uhh... you guys are all blind right? It's pretty interlaced and has SEVERE ghosting. Picture is pretty sharp and the angle is passable.. but it's got some bad issues with the interlacing. You can even see it CLEARLY in the jpgs, as well as a bit of the ghosting (check the leg up in the right corner).

How can anyone say that 'the angle doesn't matter much'. It's horrid! The people lean when they walk ... hell, everything is at a slant unless it's directly in the middle of the picture. I truly believe that some of you wouldn't care what a movie looked like as long as it had a Centropy tag hooked on it. This has greatly reduced the high opinion I had of Centropy for keeping 'the original integrity' of the movie. What's even worse is that because of the people who say it doesnt matter, they wont try to correct it and reach some middle ground between blue tint and distorted picture. Once again, I can play with color settings....can't do a thing about a distorted image. I know this sounds like I'm raggin on Centropy... but I'm not. I'm upset with people that claim it doesn't affect the viewing experience of the movie. If we spoke up about things that we don't like, I'm sure more would get done to try to improve things. After all, these fine release groups do this for the people. So if the people say they like trash, trash is what they're keep on getting.
On a more positive note, props to Centropy for 'trying' to make things better. But please don't stop trying, because I for one don't think this is an improvement. I don't think 'its the better of the two evils'.
There...had my say and at least I 'feel' like somebody somewhere will hear me and care.

LS that would be a feasible explanation if it was one release man. It is consistent crap, and angle. I;ve seen the sample. How anyone rates this an 8 is beyond me. More like a 2/3 on video. But ah well, guess people dont want to admit old legends do faltar and hit hard times.

I barely noticed the angle. After five seconds, I forgot about it. And why would CTP purposely pick to sit in the front row near the corner? To tick people off? Like I said, it's most likely because they weren't offered a choice.

Now I haven't watched the full release yet, just the sample, but based on its picture quality, it definitely deserves an 8. Remember, this is a telesync, not a DVD or a TC, and it's pretty high quality compared to other telesyncs out there. I didn't give it an 8 just because it's by Centropy.

This is a fairly good release of a very poor movie. The video is fairly good as far as ts's go, but there is the ever present "Jay Leno" effect (I'd love to know who coined that term!) which rears its ugly head (pun very much intended) whenever there is a close up of a person. The audio on the other hand is excellent, I found no faults with it. But the movie itself...blah; after the first few excruciatingly bad minuites of this film, I turned it off.

I give it: 6.5/8/x

If you are really wanting to see this movie though, don't let this deter you from picking up this release, it is highly watchable if you can handle ol' Vin.
