Author Topic: Extract (2009) David Stambaugh Film God Posts: 4021 From: Eugene, Oregon Registered: Jan 2002 posted 09-06-2009 07:47 PM                        Being a fan of Mike Judge and also Jason Bateman since he was on Arrested Development, went to see this. It's moderately amusing at best, kind of smells like straight-to-DVD, but quirky enough to hold my interest. I give it a generous 2.5 out of 5 stars. Will fade from theaters very quickly. There were a half dozen or so digital audio glitches. I'm guessing DTS since some of the trailers played in analog. The sound either repeated or skipped forward, maybe 1/4 second each time, like it was trying to re-sync. And the image was very unsteady sometimes.  |  IP: Logged Joe Elliott Master Film Handler Posts: 497 From: Port Orange, Fl USA Registered: Oct 2006 posted 09-08-2009 01:04 AM                     I noticed that too on our print. Not just the usual high speed printing bounce, but more like a bounce and weave like a boxer.  |  IP: Logged David Stambaugh Film God Posts: 4021 From: Eugene, Oregon Registered: Jan 2002 posted 09-08-2009 10:57 AM                        "Bobbing and weaving" is an apt description of what I was seeing. I wonder if the poor print quality had anything to do with the audio glitches.  |  IP: Logged Joe Elliott Master Film Handler Posts: 497 From: Port Orange, Fl USA Registered: Oct 2006 posted 09-09-2009 11:49 AM                     We use Dolby Digital (different I know), and according to those who watched it, they didn't hear any problems. But then again, none of them are projectionists either . . .  |  IP: Logged Karl Borowski Expert Film Handler Posts: 161 From: Sulking in GameFAQ Forum Registered: Sep 2009 posted 09-22-2009 11:48 AM                     Don't give this film too-hard a a time guys. It bears the dubious distinctinon of being the only non-DI film playing in our theatre right now. Unfortunately, this film doesn't benefit at all from this attribute.  |  IP: Logged
