Van Helsing Starts Today

[David Meek]

Van Helsing hits theaters today. I hope it's a treat and not a trick! :

Interesting tidbit of info - Van Helsing will be the next movie to use a new CGI algorithm for rendering skin that was used on gollum to such advantage. Don't know on what character(s) though.

A friend of mine saw it last night in a preview and told me to avoid it. The reviews are awful on it.

I may still see it in NYC in DLP(if its there) just to see a DLP presentation(we don't have any in T-Town) but the reviews are just dead panning it.

That's not gonna stop my wife from seeing ( she loves that Hugh Jackman )

I'd love to see any DLP theatre movie - just to see if its all I'd expect.

saw the matinee showing in the larger theatre at the local Cinemark, which does infact have a DLP projector running.

The movie was great, better then I expected. But, I am a huge Kate beckinsale fan(gee I wonder why), and I will go see any movie that deals with Vamps and werewolves. The animation used, killed that of Underworlds. The werewolves in this made the ones in Underworld seem like they used 40 year old technology.

The story was good, the action was good, 4 hotties( kate and dracs 3 brides) were distracting me. The sound was great as well. Some comedic moments thrown in made it even more enjoyable. Even Frankenstien was fit into the plot nicely. The epic battle at the and had me craving more.

This movie, by far, displayed the very best picture I have seen thus far in a DLP cinema. The quality blew me away.

I am going again tomorrow with yet another friend, and at $5.50 to get in, I can't complain.

This one will be bought the day it hits store shelves, and it will fit nicely next to Underworld on my rack

[Trevor Schell]

I really want to see this one as well.
The special effects look amazing..

You meant to say that the DVD would fit nicely in my DVD player instead of Rack..Right. :wink:
Heh! heh!
Well, you have to watch it you know.. :P

[Glen]

Well, my wife went to see this last night and loved it. She said its done in the comic book style genre. ( I don't think Hugh Jackman could do any wrong in her eyes :lol: ).

Just saw the movie this afternoon. THis is going to make an excellent DVD. Excellent special effects, awesome sound track with lots of deep, deep bass and tons of action. Hopefully its out before Christmas.

But how's the movie?

Those sound like just the kind of things that make "The Haunting" a great DEMO DVD. But otherwise, that movie really sucks. How's "Van Helsing" as a movie?

I used to buy DVDs that were technically excellent to have some "gee whiz" demo material. But I think I've got enough of those by now. Also there have been quite a few DVDs the past few years that also meet the same "system demo quality" standard which I actually like for the movie itself. So these days, unless the featured film holds up to repeated viewings on its own merits as a movie, I don't feel that having excellent special effects and deep bass necessarily make a disc worth buying..

Let's just say that I'm working on my review, and it's NOT going to be pretty.

I'm guessing it was a trick and NOT a treat

Give that man a cigar! :W
