More Reviews of AOTC DVD

Posted By Joshua on October 17, 2002

Here's a few more reviews we've found for the Episode II DVD:

From Chud.com:

While I miss a documentary in the style and fashion of The Beginning and would have welcomed even more Deleted & Extended Scenes, I can't really quibble. Another solid effort from Lucasfilm. You'll spend hours with this disc... and it's all quality stuff. You simply will not find a better value on DVD.

From MichaelDVD (Region 4):

No MPEG artefacts were immediately obvious. One of my pet peeves is motion trails or smears, which often appear in low lit human faces, smoke, or smog. I was looking very closely in the underground Geonosis factory and smoky end battle scenes, but in this respect this transfer is the best I have seen yet, with reasonably solid images, and detailed smoke and smog. For those wishing to see exactly what edge enhancement looks like, have a look at the bottom of the Trade Federation Control Ship at the top of the frame at 125:33. Then, to see some examples of the resultant aliasing check out: window sills at 10:43, 25:08, 27:53, the handrail at 11:55, the lights at 28:30 and 67:15, the rooftops at 30:16-30:20, the steps at 34:38, and, perhaps worst of all, the shutters in the Jedi Temple at 77:33 through to 78:15. Being a digital to digital transfer, there is no telecine wobble; there's a 'locked down' feel that adds to the resonant quality of this transfer. When I saw this in the cinema, heavy film grain, or perhaps more accurately CCD (charge-coupled device) noise was clearly noticeable in interior sets, and in backgrounds of live-action shots. Some digital fixes must have been applied to the DVD release, as these are no longer noticeable.

From DVD.net.au (Region 4):

If you only buy this DVD for the transfer then you'll be extremely satisfied, but there's the bonus of an excellent EX soundtrack, a smattering of extras and a decent entry into the Star Wars collection of episodes that leaves the Phantom Menace behind in both visual effects and plot. Vince and I can't recommend this effort highly enough. Gold all the way.

From DVD Review:

As I pointed out in the opening paragraph, "Star Wars: Episode II" is the new king of DVD. The fact that the video and audio presentation is significantly superior to that of Episode I makes this the better disc, although nothing can really rival Jon Shenk’s "The Beginning" documentary from Episode I. I wouldn’t have thought that it is possible to surpass the quality of the Episode I DVD, but here it is. Without the 15 year wait, the saga finally continues… in your living room… in amazing quality! Hail the king ...
