View Full Version : Bridge to Terebithia & Primeval Are Here!!
beatboy77 06-13-07, 12:11 PM Bridge to Terebithia & Primeval just were delivered a few minutes a go. So far I have browsed through Bridge to Terebithia and it looks VERY nice. I have not had a chance to look through Primeval as of yet. I will do a mini-review of each either tonight or tomorrow.

Bridge to Terebithia is on my buy list.
kowhite 06-13-07, 01:32 PM I just watched Primeval...it looked alright, kind of soft. I'm no PQ reviewer, but I can say that the movie was pretty dumb. Too bad too, since it is based on a true story, which is kind of interesting. But ultimately, it's just a stupid monster movie.

You are correct. This movie is so bad it makes Lake Placid seem like a masterpiece.
beatboy77 06-13-07, 09:19 PM I will review these later.

It's funny, I took my son to see it thinking, based on the trailers, that it would be Eragon redux and prepared to find that he loved it and I did not. In the event, the movie was quite different from my expectations: I liked it and my son did not. Funny old world....
darkjedi664 06-13-07, 10:51 PM The amount of censorship on this forum is getting out of control :\

Funny old world....I haven't seen it yet...it looks kinda cool...BTW I hated Eragon I thought the acting was subpar as was the movie.
GoCheese 06-13-07, 11:29 PM You are correct. This movie is so bad it makes Lake Placid seem like a masterpiece.
LOL True, at least Lake Placid had some laughs, the sheriff had all the one liners. Primeval was BEYOND bad.
Ettepet 06-14-07, 05:15 AM Where can you buy Bridge to Terebithia? Amazon, dvdpacific, play.com don't have the BD.
edit: found it (http://www.amazon.com/Bridge-Terabithia-Blu-ray-Josh-Hutcherson/dp/B000P6R5Y8******pd_bbs_sr_2/103-4780063-6743829?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1181814398&sr=1-2), 'Terabithia' is the right spelling, not the one of the topic title (Terebithia). ;)
Can someone confirm what the Region coding is on Bridge to Teribithia. Cheers

Bloody hell that's a shame i'll have to wait for the uk version now. :mad:
beatboy77 06-14-07, 08:52 AM Picture Quality - 5/5
Audio Quality - 4.5/5
Overall - 4.5/5
Comments: I am VERY impressed with the PQ of this release. At no time did I witness any motion-blur or macro-blocking and there are quite a few action sequences in this film. This transfer is also free of any grain and film debris as well and I mean absolutely free of it. Colors were also spot-on, especially the greens of the trees and grass and blue's of the sky. Flesh-tones also looked absolutely perfect. I did detect every so often the slightest amount of softness to the picture, usually during indoor scenes. This AVC transfer was often in the low to mid 30's Mbps range and I would compare this favorably to an Apocalypto, but not quite at the level of a POTC DMC.
Audio is another area where this transfer shines. I listened using the 5.1 PCM option in 24bit 6.9Mbps.The sound is superb and the FLE and Surrounds are used nicely. Dialog is also strong and powerful through the center channel. Stronf and Powerful is the best I could describe the over-all audio performance on this disc.
I have attached one screen-shot I took moments a go. This picture is to show the statistics only.

Primeval review is up here. Looks like it simply is only Eye and ear candy.
I haven't seen this movie but looks like its only a rental. At least the reviewer says its slightly better than lake placid ! :)
I am definitely going to pick up Terabithia though.
