Slaughter Posted January 25, 2005 Report Share Posted January 25, 2005 And you are sure it finished downloading successfully? Sounds like a missing codec, but since it's wmv it shouldn't be a problem. Not sure what the problem is, but maybe you have bad sectors on your HD, so the file was corrupted?

Gilesy Posted January 26, 2005 Report Share Posted January 26, 2005 Do i have to put my local IP address in the advanced settings of BT ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slaughter Posted January 26, 2005 Report Share Posted January 26, 2005 Do i have to put my local IP address in the advanced settings of BT ?No, I never did at least. Try to download one of the smaller trailers and see if it works. I haven't seen the movie, only the trailer. It was interesting, though it's clearly a homemade movie.

Pete Posted January 26, 2005 Report Share Posted January 26, 2005 It's quite possibly not working because nobody else is seeding it at the moment. I'll have to try it tomorrow night now, but if anyone else can spare a minute to confirm this that'd be a help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Veteran Posted February 4, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2005 How long is this movie? I want to see it but I need another way of getting to it... I can't download it from here... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bomb Bloke Posted February 4, 2005 Report Share Posted February 4, 2005 It would seem you can get it from the JNP Movies site... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted February 4, 2005 Report Share Posted February 4, 2005 The Download Now text is there, but it's not a hyperlink BB. Probably due to it's 750-odd MB size There was this post on their forums though: This is X-COM... is going to be re-released on jnpmovies.com sometime this week So for those of you that havent caught the fever prepare for the worst... Get your Power Armour on and prepare for the worst... I mean best! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bomb Bloke Posted February 4, 2005 Report Share Posted February 4, 2005 *checks it out* Hrm... I wonder if there is a link that could be added there... Oh, hang on, I may remember now... Saint attempted the upload, but it broke, and so only 127mb of the file is on the server. I suppose if you wanted to see just the first little bit of the movie documentary, you could download it what's there using this link. Actually, that broken file is all I've managed to see of the video myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strong Bob Posted February 5, 2005 Report Share Posted February 5, 2005 I have sampled this movie for the first time today. I have gone through a lot of trouble to actually see it. Between changing my computer O/S, downloading a Bittorrent client, and getting the nice high res version (Letting it download for a few days, because Bittorrent is apparently much slower than a normal download.) it was quite an effort consisting of most of my patience. I am immensely dissapointed. Not by the movie itself, but by the false advertising which caused me to expect a real movie. This is not a movie about X-COM, but rather a documentary about making the movie and how it's not going to be made after all. It's kinda interesting, but I am apalled at the misleading trailers and text claiming it to be the full movie. Maybe it's more my failt, I dunno. I don't remember reading anywhere here or on the JohnNebthos website saying that the movie was canceled outright and in its place was going to be this "Making of" video. I might've missed it. There is a myriad of light cracking humor. Some of it is good, but for the most part, it seems forced. There are a couple of parts that are obviously fudged for humor value, but if you wanted to see the real documentary, these jocular quips leave holes in the actual continuity. (In one example, one of the staff members explain he was placed in an office and locked there with no toilet or food. He was forced to stay there until he had done what he was supposed to with the movie, only occasionally recieving food and water to keep him alive.) The ending almost made me cry as it stated: "I hope we can all look back at this and laugh..." Bottom line: Don't expect anything but a joke when you download this. Personally I'm dissapointed. But don't get me wrong, I applaud Boba Fett and John Nebthos for putting forth the effort and trying their best. It was a great try, guys. And I salute you. I'm not bashing the creators by any means. The X-COM shots in this movie were truly good quality for a fan-film, and would've been great if completed. The premise and dream were great things indeed. "This Is X-COM" however, has not earned it's place on my harddrive. I just wanted to warn anyone who would've thought this would be anything else. Just so you don't feel like you've wasted your time downloading it. I'm sure a lot of you still want to see it. I don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bomb Bloke Posted February 5, 2005 Report Share Posted February 5, 2005 Er, yes, I can see some room for confusion on the whole documentory thing. It was quite a while back when it was first announced, but it was noted that the actual movie had been canceled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slaughter Posted February 5, 2005 Report Share Posted February 5, 2005 I did not know it wasn't finished. Thanks for clearing that up Strong Bob. But as you say, there are probably people that wants to see it despite the fact that it wasn't finished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knight_of_the_ravens Posted February 5, 2005 Report Share Posted February 5, 2005 the download screen comes up but it does'nt even start to download Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slaughter Posted February 5, 2005 Report Share Posted February 5, 2005 Well, if no one else is downloading or seeding (sharing a completed download), there isn't anything to download. Can you see how many seeds there are? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tftd fan Posted February 6, 2005 Report Share Posted February 6, 2005 Humm, a Trailler from X-Com Universe seems quite interesting so far. Latelly, there wasn't anything new popping up.

Gilesy Posted February 7, 2005 Report Share Posted February 7, 2005 I've gave up on that, but i wonder if any "real" movie makers would take up the x-xom movie idea, I think if done right it would work out great,I know there has know there has been millions of Si-Fi films made but i beleave the x-com story would do well , Also i'm sure everyone who hasever played and loved x-com would go to see it,Some film company has to like the idea!

Zager Posted February 7, 2005 Report Share Posted February 7, 2005 up the x-xom movie idea Personally, I think it would work far better as a TV series. But let's try to keep it out of the public eye for the moment, make sure that nobody wants to make an X-COM movie or series. After all, there's the great risk that if it is made, it could be made by Uwe Boll. So we should wait until he's dead before it gets made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
