What is happening is that the films get recorded at theatres (often in Russia or the Middle East) and then get uploaded to upload services like megaupload (which recently got shutdown by the feds). The camcorder versions aren’t the greatest quality in the world but they are watchable and the sound is often pretty good because the people recording the movies plug into the jacks that are available at theatres for the hard-of-hearing.

Not only that: it’s available on the torrents. I can’t stand Cam versions but there were exceptions.
I had a cam version of Transformers and the uploader got blasted in the forums for not labeling it correctly as CAM. What the majority of the commenters did say was that the uploader fixed and muxed the audio and video that it “passed” the Cam title. I never even knew it was a Cam until a couple of heads right at the bottom of the screen stood up after the movie.
“the films get recorded at theatres”
The 3D messes that up.
I guess that’s why they did this in 3D.
Distracted from the story IMHO though.
Bad marketing. A Burroughs movie should have been marketed to Burroughs people too, not just the usual slack-jawed movie audience.
