Quantum of Solace opening scene is a must show. It doesnt have any height channel action, but it has everything else you could ask for...musical crescendo, quiet moment, car crash, glass breaking, tunnel echo, car engines roaring, sound fly bys, explosions, demolitions, dirt road racing, dust, and the smoothest transition into a title sequence ever.
@@johnzero7397 I gotta agree with nmanglallan Quantum is by far the worst Daniel Craig Bond movie aside the intro, the plot falls apart, the action on the last quarter is lacking any impact. At least the last one had some great action sequences throughout and cinematography was on point.
Apollo 11 launch in the documentary Apollo 11 has amazing bass. Saw it in IMAX. Nearly took my lungs out. Some people in the IMAX cinema had their fingers in their ears
@@victormuriel7266, I don’t know about disc. But I got it on ITunes for £4.99, in 4K last year. Bit grainy of course. But it was 1969. Not sure if it’s atmos. But my 15 year old 5.1 does a good job of the launch sequence
Two weeks ago this was my first physical 4k disc for my Lg CX and it was so damn good I actually felt the room get freezing cold LOL. I can't wait for winter to rewatch it.
I agree i have bladerunner 2042, Dankirk, Darknight trilogy, Martian, Ready Player One, 2001 Space Odessy all great looking movies many consider referance quality but Revenant is still the one that blew me away the most. I first bought it digital and liked the way it looked so much i ended up buying it on disc so i paid for it twice and well worth it.
Remember ordering Midway after watching your review only to find the Canadian version did not include the Atmos soundtrack. WTF?!? So pissed, why do they do this??
I had the same thing happen to me as well (Canadian as well). I didn't even watch the movie as soon as I found out it wasn't in atmos. I ended up ordering the steelbook version from the states, just to get the atmos track. It was well worth it in the end.
MIDWAY, FORD VS Ferrari, Ready Player 1, Mad max, The Dark Knight Rises plus some 1917, beetlejuice, black hawk down. So many great movies out there to experience.
I mosty go to Mission Impossible. Skyfall/Spectre, Pacific Rim, Star Trek, and a lot of Disney Pixar movies are really good. The opening sequence of The hurt locker wil make your house shake. The drums in The Great Wall are also very cool. Gravity has a good atmos mix. The best overall is Ready Player One.
Need to give some love to the Harry Potter movies on 4K. The 1st two are down fantastic both sound and picture. The car and the willow tree scene is great in the 2nd movie. The fight scenes in Kong Skull Island sound great to.
4Ks I use for reference that neither of you picked, in no particular order: 2001: A Space Odyssey (Cinerama 70mm) Annihilation Deepwater Horizon The Revenant Vertigo (Vistavision) Anything directed by Ridley Scott Of the ones either of you picked: Blade Runner 2049 Fury Of the ones either of you mentioned, I generally do not use the following in 4K testing only because I use them for 3D testing instead: Aquaman Edge of Tomorrow Mad Max: Fury Road Kong: Skull Island Ready Player One (even though I'm no fan of the movie, the beginning race scene is rather good)
For me, a big sound is way more important than a big screen (at home). So: 5. Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets - One of my guilty plesure movies. With two other actors it could have been fantastic. 4. Dunkirk, gets to represent all of the Nolan-movies. If the sound alone don´t get your heartrate going - you propably dead. 3. Hurricane Heist, When mother nature shows who´s the boss - you can expect great sound. 2. Pacific Rim, Big robots - big sound 1.Ready Player one - the details is just amazing. Today most films have pretty good sound. So even if the movie isn´t all that good, ones experience is often good. And, all the classics - some of them sounds very good.
For video Passengers, Mortal Engines, Middway, the last Tomb Raider, and Ready Player One. Audio I think Middway is the new champ followed by Ready Player One, the last Terminator film, Monster Hunters, and Blood Shot.
@@hababacon thanks idk that. I didnt buy it on 4k,i thought it was great on bluray. Not the greatest of movies ,but i enjoyed it. The female lead ,Hilda was smokin hot,and good actress
@@parrisprice5892 Yeah it bombed big time at the Box Office so no sequel. It would have been better as a novel rather than movie given the material. The actresses were all mostly attractive. The Asian chick Jacinda I think it was is smoking hot. Her real first name is Frankie from New Zealand. She's currently on the Expanse season 2 and beyond.
Here are my top 5 discs that I love to spin and show off my system: 1. Blade Runner and Blade Runner 2049 2. Mission: Impossible - Fallout 3. The Dark Knight, sucks that Nolan refuses to mix his films in Atmos but the lossless 5.1 track on this disc is awesome. Also, love the IMAX sequences. 4. Star Trek: Into Darkness 5. Fast Five. Gotta give DTS: X some love and the DTS: X on this disc is a spectacular.
Definitely that's kind of my list, those DC movies, Blade Runner, ready player one, plus some other classics that have a lot of grain and nice sound mix like The Shinning in 4K. I totally agree with the sad looking real world scenes in Ready Player One, and now that we're at home I kinda feel like my life's like that, HDR, 4K movies and videogames and, whenever I go out to buy something it feels sadness all around. 😟
Frustrating thing about Midway is the Canadian release doesn't have an atmos mix. How on earth can you remove atmos for a release in a specific country? We have atmos in or igloos too!!
It's generally a sad thing. Some licensing BS...we get quite a few Movies here in Germany that don't come with an english Atmos Mix, or don't come out in 4K. Or they come out in 4K and Atmos on Disc, but not on iTunes...very confusing and frustrating.
I went in with high expectations and was disappointed so when I went in for a second viewing it was still the same thought. Godzilla King of Monsters was far better as the Atmos is more active.
THEY FIXED THE MATRIX!!?? I thought it was like the 6th or 7th matrix because the creator couldn't find a perfect balance between control of those in the matrix and allowing free will.
I still use the Pod Race scene from Star Wars Ep 1 for bass and surround. The train scene from Zootopia where Judy first goes to the city is great for color. Great wall is great for Atmos during the breech when they are udner the wall. Mini gun scene in the appartments from Dredd is pretty killer And the opening from Midnight Sky is probably the best helicopter ambiance I've heard.
I've used also some scenes from Star Wars, not just because I'm fan, but also because Lucas Movies have always been a reference for me in sound effects.
James Bond Spectre has a cool helicopter scene after the one shot opening. Mission Impossible Fallout is also really good. The expendables 'big gun' scene is similar to the Dredd one.
Great lists. I think knowing the demo material yourself in and out on different systems is the most important. At least if you are doing it not just to impress someone but also check how it performs on the system. So I totally get Enzos choice of The Matrix.
@@raphaelmeillat8527 The grain structure on Black Hawk Down is beautiful. It's the 4K restorations of films shot on film that makes 4K worth it for me.
I know a guy who was one of the senior digital artists on Ready Player One and Spielberg had a rule that the CG scenes should not be completely photorealistic because he wanted there to be a difference between the VR world and the real world in the movie. No, the Visual Artists did not get to personally meet Spielberg. The guys who do all the stuff on the computer rarely ever meet the actors/directors.
Mine would be (I will go Top 20), Note: 4K Demo that included Digital & Physical Media. 1. Blade Runner 2049 2. Midsommar: Director’s Cut (8K Quality) 3. Interstellar 4. 6 Underground (Netflix) 5. Zack Snyder’s Justice League (HBO MAX) 6. Gladiator 7. Top Gun 8. Dark Tower 9. Phantom Thread 10. Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice (New Remastered) 11. The Dark Knight Rises 12. La La Land 13. Suspiria ‘18 14. Saving Private Ryan 15. A Quiet Place 16. 1917 17. Parasite 18. Blade Runner: The Final Cut 19. 300 20. TENET
For sound I go: Ford v Ferrari, ready player 1, a quiet place. Not in any specific order. For picture: bad boys for life, joker, all the John wick movies, The revenant.
The wizard of oz should be on the list to because holy hell do it look amazing in 4k. Looks like it was filmed yesterday and Godzilla (2014) is on my list cause it looks great and the atmos is crazy on that one.
My list of Top 4k Bluray movies for my theatre : 1. Ready Player One 2. John Wick 2 / John Wick 3 3. Hacksaw Ridge / Fury / Black Hawk Down / Lone Survivor 4. The Matrix 1 / The Matrix Resurrections 5. Edge of Tomorrow / Iron Man 2 6. A Star Is Born / Bohemian Rhapsody 6. Top Gun Maverick / Spiderman 2 7. Mission Impossible Fallout / Mission Impossible Rogue Nation 8. Ambulance / Thor Love & Thunder 😎😎😎
I couldn't last watching Batman/Superman for the time required for a demo. What a classic movie of all fluff no substance..... Others very good examples.
For me in no particular order: Alita, terminator salvation, inception (the musical score in incredible but a bit imbalanced), oblivion and spiderman far from home. All sound fantastic
@@Sunil-he8xm we have an e6 but we have never used it for 3D we kind of give up with that in 2015 at that time we had a Sony 55inch led I can’t remember the last 3D movie I watched but the only one that stood out on 3D Blu-ray was avatar for me
#1. Godzilla 2014 (Atmos) #2. War of the Worlds (DTS-HD MA 5.1) #3. Pacific Rim (DTS-HD MA 5.1) #4. Transformers Age of Extinction (Atmos) #5. The Dark Knight Trilogy (DTS-HD MA 5.1)
Godzilla vs Kong and the new Mortal Kombat movie are two of my absolute favorite movies to demo Dolby Atmos right now. And its only streaming for the moment!
Can’t wait for gvk 4K blu ray. The difference between hbo max and disc for ww84 blew me away, it looks SO much better on the physical copy. Disney plus is the only service that impressed me with pq.
Black Hawk down has a great audio track. John Wick 3 is pretty good for the audio and HDR. Man of Steel has some of the most noticeable HDR there is. The Equalizer has some great daytime HDR scenes that really show off the format.
Honestly surprised they didn’t mention Super 8. The train wreck scene is beyond crazy and shakes my home theater. Just pre-ordered the Best Buy 4K STEELBOOK
I've watched it on Netflix before, and I've just watched the 4k disc tonight and it is 10 times better. My sound system is a Denon avr-x3700h with 5.2.4 atmos. Even when the tanks are moving, my floor shakes. Bullets and canons fly past me in 3D space. When characters are standing around talking, there's distant bombs going off around me.
This might sound heretical...but there is a new Netflix Show (Shadow and Bone) and it has some pretty great Atmos Sound. The image is too dark a lot of the time for my taste though. If I had to make a 1-5 list... 1) Jumanji Welcome to the Jungle 2) Star Trek Into Darkness (Atmos) 3) Aquaman 4) Ready Player One (although the Atmos is underwhelming) 5) The 5th Element One side note...after Upgrading to 7.2.6 I get a much better Atmos experience on good Soundtracks, but "cheap" mixes like most Marvel/Disney stuff actually sounds worse because with those Tracks only the Top Middle Speakers are actually used...
