kelA Posted July 14, 2007 Share Posted July 14, 2007 Holy cow!!! This is the new reference for sound effects and BASS. I would swear there are a few spots where the bass is in the single digit range <10hz. I saw this at two different theaters, and it really makes a difference. The first theater was a Regal theater, and had Klipsch installed but did not sound near as good as the second theater I saw it in. Sorry to say, the Regal was very compressed, I think they turned down the LFE for this movie because I have never noticed this with other movies viewed at this theater. The second viewing at a different theater had hmm hmm JBL's. This was a newer theater with DD EX, and it just kicked you in the chest, very impressive. It has to have the deepest bass I have ever heard in a movie. The story is not that bad either. I found it to be very entertaining BOTH times I saw it. Granted the second time was mainly for the sound. Afterwards, I had to go by my audio dealer and demo better subs for when this is released on DVD. These is no way my current sub will do this movie justice. I highly recommend this movie, even if Sci-Fi is not your type of movie go for the sound.

dkp Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 I'm definitely picking this up next Monday (DVD release date). This will be the first movie I've paid full price for in I don't know how long. If they get this as right on the dvd as they did in the theater, it will be one of my favorite demos. BTW, I agree with you on the low bass-it was superb. -damon-if you pick this up in Blu-Ray, you'll have to let us know what you think of the sound. -David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelA Posted October 9, 2007 Author Share Posted October 9, 2007 Yep, counting down the days to the 16th. I have not gotten a better sub, but that money did go toward a new 46"LCD.[] Apparently no Blu-Ray release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My bet is that they're just ramping up sales of the regular dvd with an upgrade via blu-ray available sometime in the near future. In any event, I'm pretty excited about this dvd. -David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
el jopez Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 No Blu-Ray since its HD-DVD exclusive per Paramounts brand-spanking new contract with the HD-DVD powers at be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

synthfreek Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 WB are fixing to come out with hybrid Blu-Ray/HD discs. Flip it over for each format. I also know that Wal-Mart looks like they'll be backing BR instead of HD. They started running ads in the store touting BR so that might be bad news for HD's future.

wuzzzer Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 I unfortunately hadn't seen this in the theater so I'm looking forward to watching it at home. I hope the SVS will be up to the challenge! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dkp Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 Well I bought the DVD yesterday ($13 @ CC) and my wife and I watched it last night. We both thought it had a great sci-fi story with very good video and audio quality. This movie has a few scenes that will be great to demo my theater with! A [Y][Y] from my wife and I. -David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelA Posted October 17, 2007 Author Share Posted October 17, 2007 How is the audio on the DVD release? I am currently traveling, so I have not been able to view it yet. I see there is mixed reviews of the audio from the folks over at AVSFORUM. What are the views here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wuzzzer Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 Mixed reviews? Mainly because there isn't a DTS track. UNBELIEVABLE bass! I have it from NetFlix and I think I'm going to hold it hostage for a looong time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. RF62 Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 All I have to say is WOW, the sound is ... wait for it... AWESOME!!! Just Optimus Prime's voice alone is great. Check it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rsoxfan Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 I thought there was a ton of rear effects.. And the bass was window shaking good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dkp Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 I forgot about this when I was posting earlier, but there was an effect in this movie that surprised both my wife and me. I cannot recall the scene but there was a point in the movie when I actually thought that someone was in the room with us which was totally creepy and the first time I have experienced this. I can find the scene if you like, but I'd rather see if anyone else notices it as well. -David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. RF62 Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 If you could, find the scene and just when you post, put Scene Spoiler at the top. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree my sub may not be up to the task. I dont have the exact time stamp, but the scene I am referring to is towards the end when Sam is running through the old building and Megatron is chasing. I think Megatron yells, "Megatron." In the movie theater this was a very eery, and deep yell. I wonder if this is what you are referring to.

My wife is sleeping right now or I would ask her-I'm sure that she would remember. The scene, or sound, I recall is actually that of a female voice. I remember being quite startled because we were watching the movie in our basement theater and I was shocked that my daughter could have opened the door (it sticks slightly), come down the stairs and talk to me all without me seeing her. I actually sat up and leaned forward, trying to look back towards the darkness a bit and away from the screen so as to see her. I think I even paused the movie. Then I felt like a dummy, lol. I'm sure we'll be watching it this weekend again and I'll listen for it. -David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest " " Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 saw it yesterday......big disappointment having the transformers with a million flaking parts served no value to me....most of the time these things looked like piles of metal trash rolling down the street in the same manner a gust of wind would move a pile of leaves. they could have done more with the characters. the 15 second view of the hot babe's belly button while opening the hood of the camaro would probally sell a few million posters in shopping malls.

Mr. RF62 Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 Hi, Did you ever play with Transformers??? And if you did, what did YOU do with them???? How do you view them (on or off the screen)? What could they have done more with them in your POV??? Just wondering, maybe I can share your views. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groomlakearea51 Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 the 15 second view of the hot babe's belly button while opening the hood of the camaro would probally sell a few million posters in shopping malls. Watched it (sorta' - put it on and my son watched it over the Cornwalls, and I took a nap). But,... woke up a couple times for (1) the belly button... and (2) Tomoyasu Hotei's - Battle Without Honor or Humanity track. It's a great kid's movie though, and all things being equal, a Klipsch based HT system will certainly do it some fine justice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
