I watched it tonight.

Damn the cinema does fill up on Orange Wednesdays :D

Noticed the camcorder etc straight away.
The bit in the cellar seemed true to the original, but the ending was very poor.

And where was the thunderchild ? (isn't that the battleship)

prefer the original.

With dolby 2 if your lucky and poor aspect video,damn them telecine would not give a thank you for one of those ;)

Re: War of the worlds
 

I don't know what you mean by telecines ;) but from what I have heard these can be pretty good with good quality sound especially if an empty cinema is used along with professional camera and the sound input is hooked up to the projector :D

Re: War of the worlds
 

Maybe he meant a telesync? I have seen it at the cinema and also the Telecine and the quality on it is great.

Re: War of the worlds
 

Watched this movie when down in London this week - superb I thought, I might even see it again.
Those of you watching it at home in stereo and on a small screen have no idea what you're missing!

Re: War of the worlds
 

It should sound good on our Audigy 2 ZS's :D

Re: War of the worlds
 

Yeah, when the legit DVD is out in DTS format.

Re: War of the worlds
 

If it does, they don't always have it in DTS :(

Re: War of the worlds
 

DTS ES is want you want :) Or dolby digital EX think i got them the right way round. Me gots a nice cinema needs a projector to finish it off but im working on it :) I would not watch a film on a pc(if im home) no matter what sound card you have a good amp will pass water on it :)

Re: War of the worlds
 

I love all my DVDs that have DTS they are far superior to Dolby digital. Just picked up the Saving private ryan spec ed with DTS, and OMG you could swear you were on the beach!!!!

Re: War of the worlds
 

Yeah I've got that one too, most impressive.

Re: War of the worlds
 

Well luckily the Audigy 2 ZS has a decoder for basically all the sound types available built-in :D

Re: War of the worlds
 

Yes the "never to be mentionend again" pendragon version which promised so much and delivered a veritable forrest of wooden acting making it actually as rubbish as the speilberg version.
Such a pity.
