Fountain was listed as backordered, but like the previous posters mine has shipped also. However, when you say your Matrix Collection is "PROCESSING" or is it "IN PROCESS"?

Any of you guys actually see this movie? Most hated it. Me, I kinda liked it. I think.

I haven't yet Matt. Wanted to though.

FYI, your location still lists you in CT. Aren't you in NC now?

I liked the Fountain. Not your average filmgoing experience. It took some explaining for my gf...

I have not seen this movie yet. Is it a scifi flick?
post #18 of 43
Wow, I checked my tracking this morning and WHV shipped it overnight and it is "out for deliver" now. Very cool.

I'll give the disc a look this evening.

As is mine, I should get mine tonite aswell, which is cool for getting it early, The distribution center I guess for Warner is really close to me, shipping for me is so far only a day, I wonder how this will work with The Matrix.

It is Sci-Fi and existentialist...but more of the 2nd than the 1st.

Got mine in the mail yesterday, haven't popped it in yet, but good to know that people that ordered from WHV are getting this title early, gives me high hopes for the Matrix and Iwo Jimia.
post #22 of 43

I received Training Day on Monday from WHV. It was part of my order along with Matrix.

No word yet on when Matrix will arrive. Simple says "In process".

I also noticed the complete Matrix Trilogy is now $80.

Just watched the SD last night, and can confirm the horrible PQ. Loved the movie, but the first few scenes were so dark that my girlfriend asked me whether our TV was calibrated correctly.

The whole thing looked kinda sloppy. Hopefully the HD release makes the movie look the way it's supposed to.
post #25 of 43
I'm sure the sh!tty SD is a WB ploy to get people to come over to the HD side.

Makes for better demo in the showroom!

That being said, this thing better be sparkling! Frickin' blind buy!
post #26 of 43
wow, still no comments on the PQ, I'll sit down and watch it tonite after work and offer up some thaughts on the PQ, I've never seen the movie aswell, so should be a good time.
post #27 of 43
I don't expect this to make too many "demo" lists.

How's that for a comment.

can you give it a tier rating based on what youve seen?

Nope. Don't like pigeon-holing something as complex as a digital film transfer/encode with an arbitrary numerical value. I didn't do it in over seven years of writing reviews, and I don't like it now.

I'll tell you this much, though. The lighting and exposure is reminiscent of a 16mm indie production. Often dark and underexposed, there is a LOT of film grain. Even a codec as capable as VC-1 breaks down in some shots. I can't imagine what this would have looked like with MPEG-2.

This is a disc that is clearly one for fans of the film, not the technology.
