The New Master List of BASS in Movies with Frequency Charts - Page 59

All I was originally talking about was that Favreau's movies usually contain some good LFE and Cowboys & Aliens will give us something to hopefully look forward too. I wasn't trying to say it was better than any of the titles you mentioned.

I will have to say that the flight into the stage at flushing meadows and the fireworks after were pretty good in IM2...shoot to thrill backing didn't hurt either...

The zoom in prior to the landing can give most subs quite the challenge....

Battle:LA and Hulk are films done right....great ultra-lows, great lows, and thump....great use of entire bandwidth.

JSS

I agree with WotW, B:LA, Cloverfield and HTTYD. Those soundtracks have some serious bass scenes.

But what scenes in The Incredible Hulk have bass?!

I haven't seen the whole movie, but I was not impressed with the shootout in the drink factory scene or the soundwave HumVees scene. There should have been tons of bass, but as usual, there was almost no bass in either of them. Is it the fight scene at the end that's good? I thought the movie sucked, so I never made it that far.

Please let me know.

If you can't find bass in Hulk, you better check your system.

Oh I know. I guess I was just feeling a bit cynical today. My hopes are that C&A sounds wicked sweet. The early sequence where the aliens bombard the western town has really nice bass at my local cinema.


Ah... well, IM2 must be a lot better than IM1 in terms of bass. I still don't have IM2 on BD yet so I haven't run it through my system. IM1, otoh, has been through several times. Love the Middle East sequence. That part sounds good.


Watch it again but this next time... turn on your subwoofer.

Oh ... and the answer to the question is... everywhere. Incredible Hulk is a bass monster. What kind of subwoofer do you have?

+1, I watched last night and this movies has plenty of bass, the scene with with subsonic canons is incredible like the movie and when he smash the roof of the building at end is so cool. And I like the movie also.

The clip from Hulk on Scubasteve's disc is my "go to" demo piece. Guaranteed to scare the bajeezus out of the newly initiated!

picking up super 8 today..any word on the bass front?

"SPOILER ALERT"








There is some good bass in this movie. Watch in particular for the train wreck.

After recalibrating EQ on my subs, the scene starting with when he transforms and busts through the glass in the overpass thing and the EMP pulses etc., that was one of the first tests I'd use. I did notice though that before getting EQ right, it felt like something was missing, but after I leveled things out, it really pounded (at around -13 for me) - love the .50 cal guns.

I'm in SoCal too if you want to come listen and compare.

I thought was on "okay" movie, but mostly because of the audio.

Nice. Been looking forward to this one.

The Hulk/Abomination fight scenes (and below is just a smidgen of that) is one of the most sub-punishing stretches of movie soundtrack available:



Bosso

Plus there's the whole sound canon scene (15 Hz material). I can feel the wind blowing with that scene from the Ultras. It really pumps.

Watch the first hour and definitely the train wreck was awesome.

I just posted to the Super 8 thread that I thought the audio in the scene you referenced was stunning, particularly the LFE. The BD has a Dolby TrueHD 7.1 audiotrack. Super 8 is a pretty good movie in other ways, too.

The movie has that touch of classic Spielberg.

I rented 3 BD's for this long holiday weekend. Super 8 which I hear seems to have pretty good sound quality, Conan and Carjack. I was just wondering what to expect.

Conan has a few decent bass scenes ususally involving giant boulders, but I wouldn't consider it all that special.

I loved Super 8 as it brought me back to classic Spielberg movies. If it has a killer audio track and some 4.5 bass scenes I will use it all the time. Kind of like the Dark Night. I can't forget about my older favorites though like LOTR trilogy and JP 3.

Super 8 up there with WOW,CLOVERFIELD, AND THE HAUNTING!

Good. Maybe I'll have to pick it up then. I haven't seen it yet. Skipped it in the theaters.

Just skipped to the train scene in S8 before we view it tonight (impatient, I know). Damn. No idea how it measures and don't care. Sounds spectacular.

Picked up my copy of Super 8! Fixin' to watch it now. I hope the Ultras make me smile.

Super 8 = QUALITY BASS.

I have a dedicated theater and the 7 channel track was excellent when called upon. During the credits, my son and I had to do a double check in the rear of the theater...we thought we had an 8mm running in the background that was showing the kids movie. Fun .

Anyone see the blue streaks throughout the movie?...maybe it was my projector?..never seen that before and figure it was part of the movie...strange.

ok, just read they were flares...did not care for that at all during the movie...I understand the usage but it seemed way over the top and way too often. It actually distracted from the movie being so frequent...but still fun movie!

JJ Abrams directed it and he also directed Star Trek 2009, which had the same flaring but from memory much more than Super 8. I actually dont mind it (flaring) but fully understand how many do.

As far as bass goes Super 8 is brilliant. As far as the movie goes i would rate the first half of it 4.5/5 but sadly the second half maybe a 2.5/5. Wont spoil it for others for giving my reasons why.

Now you know...

****POTENTIAL SPOILER****
I agree with this statement the front part of movie carries the ending IMO.

The ending was just too much "here you go, all the answers!"

This whole last section of the film is still my overall favorite audio on blu ray I think, especially for LFE.


Not to be bold, BUT you have some sub or system issues if you are not impressed with the LFE in TIH. This film is just insane in the low end (and overall as well). The last big ~15 minute fight scene in TIH is just jaw dropping audio IMO.

+1

Not only is it some of the strongest LFE, the action sequences and ULF are perfectly aligned and timed to deliver that wow factor. Other strong LFE/ULF movies just tend to just be 'loud' (explosions, crashes, etc.). Whereas the Hulk's LFE has the precision and matching screen content to make the LFE/ULF experience a lot more 'impactful'. Definitely at the top of my list...
