How is this not nuked? How?
This could be a decent release. Could be, were it not for the fact that once again RUSTLERS F%$#ED UP THE VIDEO. The long and short of it is that they've performed a really, really bad IVTC to convert their 25fps cam video source to 23.976fps. The end result is that you have a skipped frame roughly every second. Sometimes this is noticeable, sometimes it isn't, but overall it's enough to make me turn it off and wait for a better release.
Other groups have been nuked for bad IVTC; I'm wondering why RUSTLERS is different. Then again, a lot of the scene refuses to recognize them as a real group. It's crap like this that makes me understand why.
Video: 3 - Without the nukeworthy horrible IVTC this might be okay. Vaguely okay. Video is blurry, cropped and at an angle. Colors are good and the motion blur is minimal, but that's about the best you can say for this release. I have seen worse; you can certainly understand what's going on visually, but it just looks... off.
Audio: 2 - On any other movie this audio might very well pass as good, somewhere in the 6 or 7 range. On this movie, however, the audio completely loses clarity on the most important parts: the songs. The opening song is okay until Meatloaf starts in, then you have no idea what's being said by anybody. It proceeds in much the same way for every other musical number I saw: soon as the music really picks up you have no idea what's being said.
Movie: ? - I could not stand this release long enough to watch the movie. Even if I could have I wouldn't have any idea what was going on.
Bottom line: RUSTLERS screws the pooch once again on what could have been an okay release. Wait for something better.
