Great review Joel! I'm glad to see that they did a decent job with the video transfer. My biggest fear was that they would just slap something together and it would look horrible.

Yes, I have a Best Buy near by, but they didn't have it. Finally ordered online. Grrrr.

Thanks though!

I stopped at Circuit City right after they opened to pick this one up since David Lambert's roundup showed they had the best price. The clerk there tried to look it up and said that he had no record of this movie coming out today. Next I went to the local Best Buy over lunch and checked the shelves and couldn't find it. I asked my favorite clerk there and she went disappeared for a moment and came right back with it. The moral of the story - if at first you don't find it, ask. (Just not a Circuit City)

Also, thanks for the review Joel.

I pretty much agree with Joels review, although I was actually quite pleased with the sound; I don't know a DD 5.1 mix would have helped that much. I did see the grain, especially on the outdoor shots later in the movie.

I also noticed there was nudity (when the girls are standing on the boat during the second Americas Cup final) that I had never seen before. I had never noticed that before, and looking at the rating, the censors may have missed it too.

This movie makes a great DLP demo, since there aren't as many dark scenes and there are some really vibrant colors. I watched the race scenes again on my friends CRT RPTV, and they didn't jump out quite as much.

I noted that in the Weekly Roundup thread...I guess CC just figured no one wanted this one.

Yes, but on a CRT FPTV the colors look amazing! I'd say your friend needs a little color calibration on his RPTV. This is a title that should shine on virtually any TV.

well,

watching it...quite soft, bit grainy.
sounds a bit harsh, otherwise watchable.

the rating is a bit off!

So when do we get the 1928 version, which is what I keep thinking this thread is referring to????
