127 Hours Remuxed (2011) (1080p)

A completely cathartic life-or-death experience, 13 September 2010

I started loving this film within the first few seconds. 127 Hours begins immediately with the sound of Fresh Blood's "Never Hear Surf Music Again" ("There must be some f*%#ing chemical, chemical in your brain, that makes us different from animals, makes us all the same." etc...) just as featured in the 1st trailer. That not-ripped-off euphoric feeling (how many times have you seen a trailer with a perfect song/music and then felt betrayed that it wasn't in the film later... yeah, me too) carried on all the way through the rest of the film.The film has an energetic start with a split screen showing office-bound commuters/workers going along their daily drudge while our lead, x-treme biker/hiker/climber Aron Ralston (played to perfection by actor James Franco) packs his gear (unfortunately not finding his Swiss Army knife which might have made a lot of difference to him later on) for a trek into Blue John Canyon country in Utah. While on his way he has a brief fun climbing/diving/swimming interlude with two female hikers (played by Kate Mara and Amber Tamblyn). He then heads off on his own and at about 20 minutes into the movie takes a tumble with a small boulder that ends up pinning his right arm against the side wall of the thin crevice of a canyon. And that is where we are with him for the next "127 hours" (but only 1 hour of screen time) that it takes him to get loose.I'm not going to spoil that resolution here, although most will likely hear about it anyway before seeing the movie. An obvious clue that he survives is given by the screen credit early in the film that says it is "based on the book Between A Rock And A Hard Place by Aron Ralston". The guy must of survived if he wrote a book about it right? Well, you can survive in many ways and not all of them leave you whole (both mentally and physically).Director Danny Boyle brings a lot of the key Oscar-winning players of the Slumdog team back for this new film. Screenwriter Simon Beaufoy, soundtrack composer A.R.Rahman and cinematographer Anthony Dod Mantle (this time paired with Enrique Chediak) are chief among those. As an added bonus, from the director of the toilet-diving cam in Trainspotting, we now have the "desperately thirsty character saves his own urine so it can be filmed while drunk through a tube"-cam in this movie.At the Toronto Film Festival's 2nd screening of the film, Boyle was there to take questions from the audience and his enthusiasm and excitement about the film were infectious. Tidbits included his talking about their 6 days of location shooting followed by a sound-stage recreation of the canyon based on 3D scanning imagery. Boyle also praised actor James Franco and emphasized how every time we see him in a new film he is stretching his talents and abilities, unlike many lead actors who are just basically playing themselves in various different situations.Boyle said that for an audience to watch what would otherwise be deemed "unwatchable" you either had to be making a schlocky/not-to-be-taken-seriously horror movie OR you had to make the audience completely identify with the character to the extent that they would believe that they themselves would have done the exact same thing to save themselves if they had to. Well, Boyle succeeds in making you believe it.

- Koop een Sharkoon Quickdeck (of 2 is makkelijker. 1 aan de PC en 1 aan je mediaplayer) en swap daar gewoon HD's in (simpel en cheap)
- Op de PC (oa) af te spelen met TotalMedia Theatre 3
- Op de MAC afspelen met PLEX of XBMC werkt ook perfect
- Subs werken niet? Open in PSPad (gratis) en format naar ANSI of UTF8 of net wat wel werkt
- Stel je vragen bij de spot en wellicht krijg je hulp. Vragen over spots via PM beantwoord ik niet meer 
- Alles loopt sync (geluid en beeld). Niet? Ligt het aan je apparatuur, want alles is getest voordat het erop gaat...
- Om de chapterondersteuning te behouden is deze remux in het Bluray-Formaat gedaan.de "losse"-m2ts file staat gewoon in de BDMVSTREAM-folder. 
- De seperate nederlandstalige .srt-file kan gewoon in deze map geplaatst worden zodat geheel werkt zoals bij andere remuxes.


Remux: 

Geen menu, extra's en overbodige audiosporen. Altijd een ac3 spoor zodat iedereen hem kan afspelen met geluid. HD audio zit erin als het er is.
Videospoor is untouched, dus de hoogst mogelijke kwaliteit (hetzelfde als de BR disc).
