same as Escape From Witch Mountain .. Video is terrible just as bad as the last TS .... Audio isn't any better as well as theres a constant "bzzzzz" sound to it... I would recommend waiting for the R1 or R5 but if you can't then grab this one

R5 or R1 are due out sometime next month ... you already waited a long time might as well wait a bit longer.

V-6
A-6
M-9 saw it @ the movies and really enjoyed it.

Just flicked thru this and couldn't see much wrong with it, it's a much better VHS screener than witch mountain thanks ROAR 8/8/? this is entirely watchable for anyone waiting to see this. Its all there and it's all in sync.

In VLC just knocked out 3KHz & 6KHz and the buzz is gone.
had a little fiddle with Contrast and Brightness and picture is a little better.

Yippe for VLC

Taking into account what type of movie this is (very sfx driven), this release it utter cr*p.
4:3 low-resolution & pan&scan .... well that's just like looking at the mona lisa after taking a huge dump on it.

...

For a VHS-screener it's ok. but really sub-par for watching the film.

V/5.7
A/4.3 (hiss, needs editing. stereo)
M/Will wait for HD

Bit washed out but highering the saturation worked for me

It is what it is VHS, no complaints from me

Worth noting that nukers have spoken (interlaced)

Wow! What an awesome movie!
I was totally suprised by this one, I
figured it would be more Hollywood
garbage but it ended up being quite
excellent.

And it's an honest to God what appears
to be VHS SCREENER! WTF?!?! Where the
hell did they get a VHS SCREENER from?
I thought VHS was dead! For a movie
based in 1985 I suppose the fact it's a
fullscreen VHS screener only adds to it's
authenticity! 8)

Movie was great.
Quality = Typical VHS FULLSCREEN screener. There is a slight buzz.
(Not near as annoying as everyone says, didn't any of you ever watch VHS cassettes?!?!)
The tracking appears as if it could have been adjusted just a bit better but it's totally watchable.
The only thing I hate is the fact it's FULLSCREEN.
(Where the fuck did they get this source hehehe?!?!)

Best quality copy I've seen of Watchmen. Only real complaints I have are that it isn't widescreen, and that buzz is REALLY annoying.

V- 6.5 It looks good on a laptop but once played on PS3 the quality drops very bad. At the top of the screen in movie you get bending and in some parts towards the end color swirls. This is ok if you can wait the extra month or so for R5.

A- 6.0 The hum is very bad at soem points. To bad sometimes. Also the sound does a quick hick up about 5-6 times throughout the movie.


M- 7.0 This will probably get an overall of 8 from me once blu-ray is out. So i can enjoy special effects more. I found the movie very dry at times. VERY DRY.

Nuked for interlaced??? Show me an interlaced frame from this rls and I'll show you a dumbass who can't define the word.

Tracking could have been better, yes. Vid quality could have been better, makes me wonder how many ppl have a vhs deck that is worth a shit anymore

VHS? Really??? Still????? Ah well, it is what it is.

V: 8 (for analog magnetic media)
A: 7 (ditto)
M: 9 Awesome.

Was expecting some cheesy X-men ripoff, but was pleasantly surprised. Having never read the comix, didn't know it was an alternate-reality period film. Loved it. The times, they are a changein'!

Its nowhere near as bad as people are saying. Why didnt you wait for the R5 rather than watch this and moan?

For a screener

A 6
V 8

In pan and scan but highly watchable.

Movie itself was ok, excessively long in places but ok
