I watched it tonight.

Damn the cinema does fill up on Orange Wednesdays

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.

so I saw it on the small screen so I was not seduced by the big picture & sound and perhaps that is why I felt the film was extremely poor..

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

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

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

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!

It should sound good on our Audigy 2 ZS's

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

Stephen · 16-07-2005, 21:18

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!!!!

Richard M · 16-07-2005, 22:43

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

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

Nice find

I've got it on a black plastic 12" disc thingy, twice on CD (one's has different mixes) and Mini Disc.

Has anybody heard about the other version of WOTW that where mentioned lasted year

Pendragon - straight to DVD (region 1) - Faithfully to the book

Asylun - (nothing know) B-Movie?

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.
