I would like to say this one time, and I won't mention it again about this"new" group, then I will post my comments on the movie's quality. I am convinced that this new group has some ties to VideoCD. I just watched the entire release (which I do EVERYTIME I POST ABOUT RELEASES ON HERE, UNLIKE MANY PEOPLE WHO POST A REVIEW BASED ON THE SAMPLES, LAZY FUCKAS) and this group's quality SMACKS of VideoCD's. If I were told that this group is VideoCD under a differernt name, I'd have no problem believing it. Either they have the same silver supplier, or they have someone from VideoCD that works for them. In any event, this group's quality is WICKED. Both video AND audio are both on the level that many of us have been "spoiled" by as of late.
Quality of this release is definitely on the upper levels. Audio is from a crisp, clean feed, and video is clear, allthough a tad bit cropped. Bitrate was increased to DVD, 4500 kb/s and played on my standalone. I didn't even notice the motion blur that many of you spoke of. As a matter of fact I don't remember seeing any artifacts at all. The camera jiggled around quite a bit, even on some of the talking scenes, but it wasn't the supplier's camera, that's the way the movie was actually filmed. If you see it in the theater, it does the same thing. It's that "kinetic action" type of filming style. When Russian was spoken, the subtitles were in French. That's no big deal, as there wasn't enough Russian spoken in the movie to make that much of a difference.
To the group "maVen" (or whoever you are), you guys are top notch. You appear out of NOWHERE and produce releases that are up to par with the big boys. My hat goes off to you and I look forward to seeing MANY MORE quality releases from you guys!
It's really too bad that we can't donate something to these groups for basically risking jail time by taking the time to come up with these top quality releases that allow us users to keep a little bit of extra money in our pockets by not having to go to the movies EVERY weekend, and instead watching these things in the privacy of our homes. I know they do it for "fun" and all that, but just like sites like this one give us the option to "donate" if we like the free service they provide for us, they should have some sort of way where certain release groups have a way that we can donate some cash flow through Paypal or whatever. But I'm guessing that with the "delicacy" of this whole movie issue, that's just another way that they can be traced. Too bad. I'd be 1 of the 1st in line to donate to some of the release groups. Give'em something for their hard work, and good quality, cuz the bottom line is, these guys really are giving us GOOD QUALITY movies, and they ARE working HARD to give it to us QUICKLY, like within a couple days after it hits the theaters. What more can our lazy asses ask for?
Video - 7.8
Audio - 9.5
Movie - 5.5 (Sorry people, this movie didn't really float my boat, but then again, I didn't like the 1st one either).
