Have you actually watched the making of the OT?? Do you know how hard it was for Lucas to even get a studio to even look at his movie? There is a difference beween a struggling movie maker with bugger all money and a movie maker with loads of it. Lucas didn't have the millions he has now so...
I wish I could agreee with you but hard as I try I cannot. I dont think I could handle watching all 3 PT in one sitting, the OT no problem. Georges choices for actors was the first major downfall in what was many to come with the PT. He totally relied on the rush he would have got from the...
Mainly for HT purposes and I like the the special features then I try to watch the main feature and it goes back on the shelf. In ROTS the main opening while nice to look at simply had no point to it. Lets look at ANH Death star attack and compare. I cared about every pilot that died due to the...
Boy reading some of these posts has my head spinning. How can so many people who have the exact same disc not hear or see the things others are?? Some say dialogue volume is fine NO IT'S LOW. It doesn't have inconsistant bass...YES IT DOES. Come on people stop trying to convince yourselves that...
I have watched the dvd and I am one of the people who truelly miss the bass in the lightsabers. The bass gave them life (no pun intended) and I think when 2 blades hit there should be some deep impact sound. Anyway I dont believe this has been mentioned but the scene where General Grevious is...
Hi all just thought I would post this link to an Aussie web site that is selling the boxset for both movies. http://www.ezydvd.com.au/item.zml/781851 Looks great probably will pick this set up. :emoji_thumbsup:
Thats why I went to the trouble of importing the SVS B12-Plus/4. I had owned a locally made subwoofer that received a fantastic review and said you will never find it's limits. Well after carful calibration I found it's limits in the form of LOTR-FOTR DD version. After the protection switch...
I just sold 22 laserdiscs all in DTS and I made $1200AUD on Ebay. DTS titles seem to be in high demand. The only one I kept was Jurrasic Park which was the first DTS laserdisc I bought. There is definatly a market out there especially for DTS.
I decided to updrade my component cables and saw an Ad on this site. http://www.calabrine.com/ . I have never seen or been to their site before this, but their cables looked great and they had 20% off. So I decided on a 2m component cable and tried to place my order using my credit card. The...
Batman Begins is the best Superhero film ever made next to Superman. It's literary accuracy is only matched by it's superb execution, acting and sets. I learned many 'new' aspects of the Batman mythos I didn't know about and the film provides very credible explanations for things that have never...
Well I saw the movie at the midnight session. We all had to endure 15min of ads and trailers before the main event. Ok I will start with the negatives first and get them out of the way. The opening to the movie was, I thought a make or break for this film. Again we are treated to lush special...
I just finished watching the ROTK:EXT and found it better than the TC cut. The whole start showing the fate of Saurman was very important even though it was different than the book. The extra parts in the cave of the Army of the dead were good except for the Gimli humor which was unnessary...
After reading about the watermark on this thread I too can now say that it's on my copy Region 4 giftset. What a disgrace for a new dvd to have this. What is it with big releases having issues and not being picked up by quality control bloody hopeless. Doesn't give you much confidance with HD...
I just bought the movie (Region 4) and the sound and picture were great. Bought mine at Blockbuster for $27.95 (Australian) single disc but you get 4 shrek place mats. No problems with audio that I noticed.
I just a had a chance to watch this movie and would like to know if others have noticed this. Throughout the entire movie the dialogue comes out of all three front channels not just the centre. Has anyone else noticed this I own the Region 4? It only happens with the Enhanced Mix not the normal mix.
You quite right there Brad. At times the bass used was not required especially in that scene. My bother had 3 mates over who watched the first movie and after that scene one of his mates said "Artoo doesn't weigh that much". IMO ANH had far too much bass in it but with the others it was...
Equipment is as follows: Speakers: M&K S5000 THX System (discontinued line now) Marantz DV12 DVD player (9500 for the States out in Dec04) Rotel 1098 Pre-amp Krell TAS 5 channel amp SVS B4+ Subwoofer (Quest 2100watts Bridged amp)
Well I just finished watching all 3 movies Starwars Original Trilogy and I have to make special mention of the bass in these movies. Incredible is one word that describes the bass thats present in some scenes which will really test your subs capabilities. In ANH there is one scene that will...
Thanks to those who responded to my post. I'm glad it's surposed to be like that I can sleep now. I will be watching all the movies straight through over the weekend and will report if there are any chapter skips with the region 4 version. I'm sorry to here that the region 1 has that problem. Oh...
Ok I have watched most of Stawars ANH and have noticed something strange on the region 4 but please correct me if I'm wrong. At the start when the stormtroopers burst throught the door and start firing at the rebels there is a clear pink flash everytime theres an explosion or when theres alot of...
Hi Stuart. I too have seen this problem but it only happens on the menu of region 1 dvds when my player (Marantz) is on progressive. When I switch it to interlace it goes away very weird. When watching the movie with player on progressive the picture is fine it's just the menu only. Always...
Congrats also on your fine purchase. The power and depth that SVS subwoofers deliver is outstanding. Since buying the B4+ I'm still amazed at how effortlessly the bass is delivered no matter the load. My god when a friend of mine brought over the Haunting (DTS) it was the first time I've...
Sorry to hear about your medical problems Frank. I also have been following your threads very closly as I'm also a proud owner of ONLY 1 B4 plus. I hope you can resolve your medical problem and I look forward to seeing your setup. Take care. :emoji_thumbsup:
Awesome mate well done they finally arrived:emoji_thumbsup: The finish looks like a work of art. I guess the wife and kids have taken an extended vacation while you proceed with your testing:D It's great to know that you have them now and both my brother and I are looking forward to hearing them.

Hey Joe just a quick question how come you sold it? I read that it's packaged very well. What was the Krell driving?. My speakers are the M&K S-5000 THX speaker package. They are out of production now but the Krell should drive those very well as they are 4ohms so 400 watts into 5 channels.
Hi all. I've have gone and bought my dream amp being the KRELL TAS 5 channel amp. I currently own the Rotel 1095 which has done me well over the last 2 years. I've read all the reviews I could get my hands on on the net. Amazing reviews cannot wait to intergrate it into my HT. Does anyone else...
Miles sorry to see your sub arrive in such a state. I live in Australia and bought the B4+ and I thought for sure that it may arrive with some damage but it came without a scratch. I would have been extremely angry if mine turned up like yours did. My advice is to e-mail SVS send them the...
