Rubbish


Please don't waste your money on this crap

reply

Not the best zombie movie but if you are a zombie fan, you should find it enjoyable.

reply

Better than the latest from Romero. Sad but true for my money. As popular as the genre has become, there are some pretty damned bad zombie flicks out there.

reply

what does he even mean.. dont waste your money.. who is still buying movies?

reply


Simple answer:

People who still care about how a movie looks, seeing as how movies are a visual medium.
You don't need to buy Blu-ray. Most VHS and DVD still looks better than almost everything you can view online.

99.999% of free downloads are heavily degraded images not worth time it takes to download them. (That's a real statistic, by the way, deeply researched!)
Libraries are a good way to see movies spending almost no money, but nothing is "free" -- there's always a cost to being a cheap lazy thief (i.e., illegal downloader) -- and that cost is most commonly a degraded image.

Your "research" is garbage. Most video off private torrent trackers is regarded as superior to that offered by pay-services like Apple.

By the way, outside of the U.S. d/l content is not "stealing" in any way. At most it's copyright violation, however in Canada, Spain and other countries it isn't even that.

Probably better if you do some actual "research" before posting rubbish like this.

reply

Exactly. Nowadays, 720p is about as common as SD DVDrip xvid were a few years ago. The standard of quality has increased, as well as the speed that the videos are downloaded. No sense in even having cable, unless you like commercials. Although I've never used Netflix streaming, I'd venture that the quality is inferior to whats available "elsewhere".

>"Your "research" is garbage. Most video off private torrent trackers is regarded as superior to that offered by pay-services like Apple."<

You don't know what my research is.
And I'm comparing to DVD and film, not another online service.

>"At most it's copyright violation"<

"Copyright violation" and "stealing" are synonymous, genius.

>>"Probably better if you do some actual "research" before posting rubbish like this."<<

Explain how it's rubbish, or go bad to playground to hurl your meaningless invective, baby.

far from it!

Many artists don't feel that way about their fans, you know. Watching a movie for free is why so many movies have been seen and talked about. If you watch the film The Tunnel for example, you can see that there are still film makers that get that.

"Welcome precious prime time viewers, valuable internet downloaders and scary digital pirates" - The Simpsons

Many people who watch a film for free, like at a friend's house, as a film screener/projectionist, at a sneak peek showing, or via a torrent, will pay for the blu ray if they enjoyed it. And that's on top of the free publicity the film creators get when their "stealing" audiences post about the film online.

And if you really consider Copyright violations as serious as stealing, then lock up every Teacher in America, because every teacher I ever had in public education has shown me a movie in class for one reason or another. Whether we were watching To Kill a Mockingbird or Ghostbusters, none of their students paid to see it and as a public showing, it is deemed illegal.

And I don't know about other people, but since I bought and owned many films on video tape, and if I took the time, could legally back up those films on any format if I wanted, I don't see why it would be immoral of me to download those same films so I can watch them without my VCR. And then eventually buy the bluray when on sale. If I already spent the money to watch in in theaters and buy the video tape, then I feel entitled to be able to watch it again on my computer. I think it's ridiculous to expect users to pay extra for every format when they already own the movie on one.

reply

>"far from it!

Sorry, but that's wrong.
Because an artist may be tolerant of appropriation of their work, doesn't mean it isn't also stealing.
Copyright violation is by definition theft. We're talking practical legal definition here, not a moral offense per se. It could be.

Nor does that mean you need to feel sorry about it: practically everybody who has ever uploaded or watched anything online is guilty. It's all relative: who is one hurting by downloading a certain movie or show? Important question to ask each time, as cases differ widely. A big Hollywood production will not be "hurt" in any meaningful way. Some small-time artists may indeed be hurt.

I never meant to suggest people are Bad for doing it.
Although you can tell the Guilty by their hyperventilating attacks on the messenger of reality (Swaddler on this thread, alas.)

Of course there are no absolutes, there are bound to be some works that are created and meant to be completely free for all. This is not the case most of the time.

>>"I think it's ridiculous to expect users to pay extra for every format when they already own the movie on one."<<

You get no arguments from me. Making another personal copy for yourself, though, is not comparable to putting it out there for the world to view for free.

I also think it's insane that Youtube has the right to fully delete whole accounts for one 3-second Copyright Violation on a personal video, but they can, and they do. It makes no sense, lumping in people who make a slight, honest mistake, with chronic digital pirates.
In most cases "no harm done" is the proper reaction if someone is able to duplicate a big Hollywood movie. But there are plenty of small productions that depend upon video sales that are being duped on Pirate Bay, et alia, and it's a disgrace and ought to be considered anti-social and criminal.

Unfortunately, it's only the big-studio productions that have the muscle to prosecute and have things taken down in most cases.

Yep you do.
no no no ... dont try to tell why its okay for you to break the law.
Some of us have morals and character.
YOU on the other hand are a piece of garbage

reply

@krayola. obvious troll is obvious.

if you go on the net looking for the first uploads of movies just released in cinemas you arent going to find anything of high quality but after a couple of months its quite easy to find DVD and HD quality rips of films before they go on general sale.

99.99% are heavily degraded? lol

reply

You're an idiot if you think you're getting quality downloads from online rips comparable to a good DVD or HD broadcast.

Practically all DVD-rips online are crap compared to their originals.

reply

I dont know where you are getting your dvd/br rips from, but from my experience the difference nil. I have the star trek bluray and I have a bluray rip of the movie and there is no difference what so ever.

DVD rips have been just as good as the real thing since the dvd rip scene started. Its not an analogue conversion process(like vhs to vhs). Its a digital one and its no different than copy pasting a word document. Or are you saying that a word document that gets copy pasted doesnt look as good as the original?

If you are talking about cam/ts or tc, then yes they are nowhere near as good as a dvd or bluray.

Your "research" is a joke and you are clearly talking out your ass. Id label you a troll but at lest trolls arent stupid as *beep* like you just showed the world you are.

Even HD broadcast rips are on par from their source. You sir are just a *beep* moron!

ChefC is stalking me, look!

reply

In my research there has never been a crybaby internet poster that screams about "trolls!...your a troll!" that isn't an extreme moron. So, please don't include me in your club.

I'm not going to bother explaining why nearly all digital copies I've witnessed are significantly inferior to their source materials, but I'll add that the perception of this only has to do with one aspect of intelligence: the ability to see. And that is subjective.

You and your ilk have demonstrated massive stupidity in your attacks on me, so objectively and nakedly desperate as to provide a kind of sick humor in my viewing these abusive comments.

I would keep it up, but I have work to do that doesn't involve criminal idiocy.

since when was rubbing your genitals with peanut butter and getting the dog to lick them while wearing your grannies knickers, work?

As for for your piss poor attempts to sound superior on an internet forum on the subject of 1 to 1 copies of digital media, all I can say is you are clearly a rageaholic retard. I watch my dvd/brrips on a 50inch plasma with my 7.1 thx surround sound system I can tell you FOR A FACT there is no difference douchebag.

And there is nothing criminal about having a copy of a movie. Its the sharing thats illegal dick head.

liam>"genitals with peanut butter and getting the dog to lick them"<


That sounds like a confession to me.

liam>>"clearly a rageaholic retard"<<

Sounds like projection to me. I am calm and even tempered; you arrogant, abusive jackals on the other and. . .

Call me another name, kido, it might momentarily make you feel superior, but beware: you're still off the mark.

-----

My olive branch to you cretins:

Seeing things differently is only one aspect of intelligence. Okay, I'm repeating myself, but none of you "you sound like a fool" crybabies apparently took heed.


I see it differently that the majority. That's okay, I never said that makes you inferior if you can't tell the difference. Most smart people I know can't even tell if a movie was shot on video or film when it's projected theatrically.
That doesn't make them perverted moronic retards. That makes them human. Humans commonly err in their perception of media, and the world around them.
Maybe I suffer from a kind of reverse-color blindness where I see flaws magnified and exaggerated in digital (from dig) downloads.

All I know is, I see a real difference, most all the time.

So go ahead, whiners, kick up some more dust, call me a few more names, mob up and crush the naysayer. What ever you do, don't bother coming up with any convincing, well-thought-out arguments yourself. Don't dare hold a mirror to the ignorant spew you're blasting out.

a 1 to 1 digital copy is not a matter of opinion. Its a a matter or yes or no 1 or 0(hence the digital).

People are calling a you a retard because to think that an uninterrupted digital transfer has degrees of quality is akin to thinking the sky is green and the clouds are made of candy floss. Not only that but WE all have eyes and can see there is no difference with the dvdrips/brrips that we get. You must be getting 2 hour movies compressed down to 100MB for it to be unwatchable. Even at around the 700mb mark a dvd rip still stands next to a dvd version of the movie very nicely and at 1.4GB a dvd movie is indistinguishable from its source in both picture and sound.

There really is no way around the fact that you are either a troll, a moron that over compresses his rips, gets over compressed rips from the net or a *beep* retard the likes of which havent been seen since happy days was on the air. Calling you a retard has nothing to do with age or intelligence but has everything to do with the fact of pointing out a truth. YOU ARE A RETARD! And that s coming from a man of 33 years of age with above average intelligence. I dont feel the need to have perfect grammar or make myself sound above everyone else. I know who and what I am, and the people I find that are like you, trying to say its only stupid people that call each other names, are the ones that have the insecurities of substandard education. "Sounds like projection to me."? did you get that one out of the "how to sound smart when youre not" internet hand book?

You are a *beep* moron! However you are correct it doesnt need to be said. You are doing a great job showing everyone what a *beep* retard you are all by your self. Good luck, I really mean that cos you need it!

ChefC is stalking me, look!

reply

Hyperventilating, projecting liam sez: >"You must be getting 2 hour movies compressed down to 100MB for it to be unwatchable."<


Far, far from it. I refuse to watch anything below 900MB (for an average-length movie, at around 100 minutes long.) Usually, I watch much higher grade. The rest I find unwatchable.

I don't agree with you in the slightest about a "700mb mark dvd rip still stand[ing] next to a dvd version" in quality. Bullspit. I'm not saying this has anything to do with intelligence, per se -- but you are ignorant.

>>"1 to 1 digital copy is not a matter of opinion"<<

Did I ever say it was, you desperate little bully? You and you alone brought up that argument. I was only talking about the vast majority of digital-to-digital conversions on the internet.

>>"Good luck, I really mean that cos you need it."<<

That is also a matter up for questioning. Who needs more help? I wonder.
I didn't say my word was all that matter, naturally I was only talking about my experience, and mine alone. You are the arrogant little fool acting as if you know the absolute truth and no other perception can be anything but a "retarded" or "moronic" lie by a "troll."

No, I don't think your opinion (however fanatical) makes you stupid. It's rather your manner and way of expressing yourself that makes you stupid.

Any shortcomings in facts that I have I will freely admit to. But I didn't say anything wrong that I'm aware of.

Take care to curb that childish vindictiveness and compulsion to dominate in your opinion; it's not becoming an adult human.

Ta.

You said that ALL BRRIPS/DVDRIPS were not comparable to the actual dvd/bluray.

You were the one that started bullying superior *beep* Its come back to bite you on the ass and now you are trying to chance your story. Sorry but all anyone has to do is look back! Youre previous posts are there for anyone to see, unless if course you have been hitting the edit button as much as your little dinky.

You really enjoy throwing around the "projection" come back. Is that really the best you can do? Sorry but youre nothing more than a silly little child with no clue what you are talking about. Bullying? Pointing out your incorrect assumptions is bullying? or maybe you are referring to my overly critical response to YOUR bullying of others. Talk about projection.

Goodbye silly little child.

Dunno why you dont or didn't like it! Of course, it didn't have the required amount of zombie gore but the movie was very well made, had great actors and clocked just under an hour!

I enjoyed it. Best zombie movie I've seen for quite a while.

reply

Agree with the majority.

Also liked the blue color saturation and the dry, apartment claustrophobic look. The film felt more normal and real than Resident Evil. Characters and acting were good. And it was original.

Hope the director makes a bigger movie from this. And hope he retains the scenario normalcy that makes it look like 28 Days Later. Wish that the Walking Dead television series looked like this.

Think it did rip off the startling old zombie lady in the hallway from Rec though.

Great job Marvin Kren!
Are you gonna make one with Milla Jovovich's thighs and her shooting in slow motion next? Would probably watch.

reply

I was quite curious seeing it was a German zombie flick and expected to get something a little "different" than the typical Hollywood zombie movies. It did fulfill my expectations in that respect and in others too, it's overall a pretty good little film.

I especially liked that it took place in the same building for the most part, the "window scenes" were the best of the movie. Seeing those different people, their fears, and all of them behaved very human and credible.

The ending was not as good as the rest of the movie imo, and I actually didn't like the whole Gabi-story. But that's probably just personal preference.

Overall I really thought it was a tense, compelling movie that most zombie fans will probably enjoy.

reply

I gave 6/10: I don't regret watching it but wouldn't watch it again.
If you like zombie movies this is a good bet for killing an hour! Also love the original title, sounds really brutal: RAMMBOCK!

reply

Shut it

reply

I'm not going to say it was bad... but it wasn't what I was expecting.

For one thing I saw it dubbed... and I hate dubs. The acting, well the voice over's for some of the main characters were awful including Michael. Mentioning Gabby every couple of seconds, and acting like a legit idiot throughout the entire film drove me insane.

reply

The problem I have with this movie is that they were trying to sell it as a zombie movie when it's not. The infected were just infected with some kind of rabies like disease. They were not undead. You did not need to destroy their brains to stop them. It WAS NOT a zombie movie. Other than that it wasn't terrible. I've seen much worse.

reply

"I've seen much worse. "


Well, when this is the best thing you have to say about a movie that tells a lot about the movie itself.

And some DVD masters are crap... and you pay for them... that could be stealing too. When I pay for something, I expect quality, and sometime that isn't what I get. That's usual with B grade movies. And there's the Pan & Scan too... another stealing that an industry that doesn't care about the people who pay for their product (it's a product to them, and not the art it is, or should be) does. There are another aspect ratio changes and violations from the industry to the moral autors of the work you pay for... So, the industry isn't sometimes as legal as it should be... but that doesn't matter, because they are the ones who have the MONEY.

I speak myself as a filmmaker who saw his work modified by the "legal" supliers... So... Please... I can be the supplier of my work in its greatest quality through the internet, and you can't get that legaly.

Reasearch could be one of your tasks.

EDIT
About this movie... I loved the shoot of the zombie couple at the end. It's not a masterpiece, but is not that bad.
