The picture quality isn't the best I've seen, but it is a major improvement over the theatrical version. And it certainly made me want to vommit when I saw the "remastered" version of Face/Off right after... YUCK!! I don't know what they did to the image on Face/Off but it SUCKS!! But Troy is kind of shakey. But you get used to it (or it's just for the opening and end credits that it's shaking). The sound kind of bugs me in some scenes. The battles sound pretty good, but the dialogue in parts is super muddy sounding.

?? Face/ off? i did not get the shakes at all and the sound was OK. sound was not the best. but admit it the PQ is up there with Casino Royale and Pirates.

Sorry, I was testing Face/Off after testing Troy and it really upset me. They even changed how the opening credits looked and there's this weird warble thing for some of the movie.... It's horrible... ANywho, back to Troy. A lot of shots had some pretty nice 3D effects, and I do like how they "warmed" up the image. But Deja Vu, Casino Royale, Pirates, they all had a more solid picture IMO. Troy didn't look bad at all, but I do think the other ones looked better. As for the picture shaking, it's noticable in the opening and end. It's like when you go to a movie theater that still uses film and it kind of moves around a bit on the screen. It happens sometimes, it's no biggy.

the shaking was nothing compared to the latest bourne movie though. it made me feel as though i was being mugged. i guess I like this one so much is because the last time i saw it it was on VHS. I think it os better than pirates. I just necer though Pirates was Quote "Better than real life"

I am not talking about the way it was filmed, i mean the film itself is moving around on the screen...

could it have anything to do with your Television processing or is definitely the video itself?

I think they may have gotten the Japanese import. Either that, or they're watching it on HD DVD.

Better yet, they may have been a little impatient, and went ahead and bought the recently released double disc special edition on DVD.

No way would I buy anything from Paramount. I rented the DVD from Blockbuster Online. Whew, glad I did since this transfer looks so altered and wrong. Yes the original DVD was grainy, but it looked natural.

I haven't noticed any shaking but I did notice the sound (dialogue) being really muddy in some scenes.

BaeDaTruth · 09-20-2007, 02:04 AM

i'm glad there's a thread about this, cause when i saw it, i was really impressed by the picture quality..didn't quite expect it..but it's definetly up there with casino royale and pirates...there's one scene in particular of the ocean, and when helen see's troy for the 1st time..damn it was good

erowe83 · 09-20-2007, 02:10 AM

sweet now i cant wait

thebluemax · 09-20-2007, 02:17 AM

Don't hesitate from buying the Director's cut it is superb!

PQ---5

SQ---5

This version is far superior to the original cut, gone are the wailing woman's voices and the added 30 min. of footage is a huge plus.

I'm surprised this is not in the top 10 at Amazon

A must have on BLU-RAY!

The 30 minutes of footage- is it cool stuff or just filler?
