Pretext , graphics, subtitles....too freaking small


Why do they do this in films? Start the movie with some historical data that must be relevant to the plot only to have it written so flipping small you can't read, plus the type font is not clear ...oh and it's on screen for less than ten seconds. You know people will rent movies after theater release...make it legible. I'm in my 30's and my screen is 45 inches so this is clearly an issue.

Can't say you are wrong.
I usually put the screen on hold for a minute until I have read the text.

Absolutely agree!!

I paused it and still couldn't make out some words with my nose to the screen - poor choice of typestyle, AND size, and colour, and on busy background . . .

Ask me how I know. I'm not a fortune teller or seer . . .

The subtitles are abysmal on the Blu-ray releases. On those i have investigated from various countries, they did not bother to translate it when they speak Pict.
Instead on every single English language subtitles i have seen, the creators of the subs have just written: [Speaks Pict]

Its like they for this movie told the actors just to babble something, which sounds like could be an old Britannic/Irish language and not bothered going any further than this.
