Woah, I've never known VCDQ to be so full of crap:
1) The AR is wrong. 100% - I watched it on my widecreen TV in the correct aspect mode, and everyone was obviously taller and thinner. I assume they made this release anamorphic.
2) The sound isn't good. It really doesn't sound direct at all. To the 7.1 Bose guy- wtf you must have a shit set up the rest of the time to think this is good. I tried this on my surround set-up in a ton of modes, Pro Logic this and that- the best was plain old 2ch- and i didn't really notice any stereo effects. Also it was hard to hear to some bits of conversation if they were talking quietly. And yes, i had it turned up loud, but that didn't help because the problem was really the bassy-echoey effect.
3) Picture is good, but blacks seem very washed.
For a TC which should have awesome video and sound, this was a disappointment. Still, it's the best version available, but all the comments here would have you believe it was perfect!
Oh, and the movie SUCKED. My friend hit the nail on the head when we finished watching it: WE HAVE BEEN DUPED INTO WATCHING A CHICK FLICK! Think about it, pretty long but very little action, about marriage and stuff, featuring a goverment team of kickass woman, and wtf Brad Pitt as the guy hero? No way, he's just there for the ladies, a real action hero would have been Willis or someone.
So ratings for TC: 8 for video, 6 for audio, and 4 for movie. I was pretty bored watching it tbh.
