Member Movie Reviews Katcha S. (Katcha) from FORT JONES, CA Reviewed on 9/27/2016... The Chinese presented a very beautiful and thoughtful event but NBC twisted it into a Amerikan centric point of view. My interest in the Olympics continues to wane and this presentation reflects why. The only positive I can think of is if such events could prevent WWIII. Time will tell. Congratulations to China for a very modern presentation that could only happen because there are over a billion people to spread the costs over. A ONE time view, on one's computer so you can fast forward thru the poli-tick B$ and just enjoy the fabulous presentation parts. 1 of 1 member(s) found this review helpful.
Movie ReviewsDisappointing..... Bri-N | 09/14/2008 (1 out of 5 stars) "I just received this DVD, and once again NBC disappoints. Even though the product page states that the running time is 240 Minutes, it is not. The first DVD runs 1:19:46 minus the 15 minute introduction from NBC. The second DVD runs 2:06:00. Anyone that watched the international broadcasts knows the opening ceremony ran for 4 hours+. Hopefully next year we'll get a station that will broadcast everything in it's entirety or won't false advertise with it's DVDs." Great show but poor DVD production Jian Chen | Texas | 09/25/2008 (1 out of 5 stars) "very disappointed for this DVD. 1. Poor piture quality. I watched the open ceremony on HD. The DVD's piture is no where near what I saw on TV; 2. The sound is horrible. This DVD only has 2 stereo channels. How could that happen? 3. It's still not a complete open ceremony. It's just a purely copy of the TV version. And the TV version actually cut out several parts. I really hope that this DVD can make up for it. Obviously they didn't. I would suggest you not buying it. If you are interested in it, simply go and rent it and you can make you own judgement. I would rather wait for the HD and complete version." Received DVD today. Video is great!! Audio is a dissapointm Robert Nocero | Orlando, Florida | 09/21/2008 (2 out of 5 stars) "I received this DVD set today. Was waiting to see a great transfer from High Definition to NTSC. That's what I got. The video transfer was super crisp and in letterbox format so we got to see the entire frame. The audio, on the other hand, appears to be just 2 channel Dolby stereo, and sounds more like mono. (My DVD player shows it as Dolby 2.0.) Some passages have a tunnel effect like the 5.1 was mixed to one channel. TERRIBLE!!! I was expecting Dolby 5.1, if not DTS. I don't have hi-def at all, but to me, the audio makes the video!
Come on "Ten Mayflower," the company that produced this DVD set, how come it's only 2 channel and sounds like mono for the most of it?????? I gave this review 2 stars because of the great video transfer, otherwise it would have received 1 star." |
