"My Bloody Valentine" (2009) suffers from the same issues. It looked great in 3D on the big screen (I'm bragging here, but watching that movie sitting next to Atkins was fucking epic), but once I watched it in 2D on BD, the effect on the film itself made it look like a soap opera.

By the way, I hate to ask but... Who's Atkins? And I'm sure you don't mean the deceased diet doctor.

Anybody who dislikes Eli Roth (which, going by other threads, is roughly 95% of DVDTalk) should make it a point to watch that footage.

A few of those CGI effects were simply godawful, but overall that was some awesomely gory footage!

from what I've read in magazines, the end massacre is a 25 minute bloodbath (pardon the pun) Aja delivers the hardcore gore, something that Roger Corman wanted in the original film, but Dante didn't really deliver - let's hope the MPAA was merciful and didn't cut the film for it's R-rating. As I recall this movie might have amassed the highest amount of theatrical blood for an entire movie - some 7,000+ (!) gallons of it.

Awesome clip. Unfortuantely it will absolutely be cut to shit before the theatrical release. I'm waiting for the inevitable unrated Blu.

some footage (quite a bit) from the Piranha flick. VERY gory, some nudity so this is definitely NSFW...
I wasn't going to see this but it might be fun in 3D w/ a packed audience.

as of last night, the TV spots for 'Piranha 3D' had a 'this film is yet not rated' - hope it's not running into MPAA trouble.

Looks alright. Still not 'on board', though (get it?).
More than anything, it was nice to see those spring-breakers get theirs.
