Not a movie: Mass Effect 3 has a *stunning* LFE track and a superb surround mix in general.

I think it depends on what you look for in an LFE movie. For me personally, I prefer movies that have that "Whoa" factor. The bass may not drop into the single digits, but the bass it does have is physically overwhelming. Gives you that pressurized feeling. Which is why my go to demo disc is Tron. Sure WoTW goes deeper, but for sheer "Holy Sh!t!" reactions, I prefer to use Tron. So I guess my sweet spot hovers between 18-30hz.
Immortals easily fits into that category for me. Several scenes are definitely demo worthy.

I will second what the_abbot said....Immortals is in the same league as Tron Legacy. Believe me Toe, once you experience the bass produced by "the magic bow and arrow," you will long to see someone...anyone...drawing it back...and then you wait for its release and for the bull's eye to be hit!

There are MANY other good bass sequences throughout the movie, but my favorites were the bow and arrow.

Awesome! Unfortunately Netflix will not have this until April 3 it looks like so it is going to be a month before I can check it out

Going to go against the rest of you guys. The LFE of Immortal was very very good. But, imo not quite in Cloverfield territory. I vote a solid 4.5.

Block Buster has it, but it went into a very long wait status as soon as it came out. They just can't meet the demand for BD and for some reason their remaining stores, which are losing money, get them first, which makes no sense to me.

I thought about running over to BB to try and rent it, but the nearest one for me is not all that close now. Oh well, I will just wait until April.

Help me out! I'm a newcomer to this thread and thus I'm ignorant of the exact criteria used for each tier. In a previous post I compared Immortals to Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World and I made the observation that Immortals has much more *quantity* of bass than MAC:TFSOTW (which is pretty much limited to the two cannon scenes and the storm at sea scene; they are impressive, but don't occupy much of the running time of the movie) and so I concluded that Immortals should be bumped up a notch to 5 stars. Is this faulty reasoning?

Again, what I really want to know is the criteria for judging the placement of each Blu-ray. Is it the *quality* of the bass heard that matters most? (As opposed to *quantity* which may not be as precise and dynamic.) Help me out!

I have been on a Blu Ray tear and I picked up like 10 Blu Rays this week. I had the house to myself for about three hours last night so I unwrapped a new copy of U571 popped it in and opened up the volume and man, it gets a 5 in my book! You feel like you are in that sub with them getting depth charged!! BOOOOOOOMMMM!! BOOOOMMMM! Good Stuff! I know it is an old movie, but all around a good flick with some good LFE!

I thought some of the bass heads here would love this! A few guys built a giant speaker modeled after the one from Back to the Future.

http://www.ludoislabs.com/Giant_Speaker.html

I love this quote...
The mechanical sweet spot of operation was 5Hz to 50Hz, that's where the speaker put out appreciable audio power. Above those frequecies the inertia of the cone was simply too large. We found the resonant frequency of the building to be approximately 7 Hz, as nodes cropped up around the building resulting in numerous complaints, headaches, and all-around team giddiness.

Quality, quantity, amplitude and depth seem to be the main factors. As far as how much importance to put behind each one, well that is subjective and depends on who you ask. Some seem to put depth above all else, some volume, some quantity or quality...........lots of factors and it is not nearly as organized as something like the PQ thread! There do seem to be some tracks that just about everyone agrees on though such as Cloverfield, TIH, WOTW, Tron Legacy, etc........

Thanks Toe!

So...you're saying if I'm impressed with the LFE in a movie/film just post it and see what others think. But who determines the final placement? In other words, who is moderating the thread? As you know, in the PQ Thread we have Phantom Stranger at the helm, and he does a fantastic job.

I second this. ME3 has imo the best sound mix of any game ever. Tremendous LFE, but also good DR and great usage of the rear channels.

How is the sound quality? The thing I hate about video games is that the sound is usually very compressed. You would think that with such huge budgets they would do something about the overall sound...

Right here:

http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=858316

As you will see, this thread is actually the "Discussion Thread" where we give reviews on Blu-rays along with placement recommendations. The "Tier List" for the Blu-rays that are placed has its own separate thread which is listed on the first page of the "Discussion Thread" (at the top of the page). This thread has been active for a VERY LONG TIME! I started posting in it several years ago and it is growing stronger with each passing day.

We would welcome you (or anyone reading this) with open arms if you ever care to chime in with a review after viewing a Blu-ray. We have the criteria listed on the first page of the "Tier List" thread. This makes it a lot easier to be objective and gives you some concrete standards for judging the PQ of any Blu-ray.

Excellent!
I have equal interest in both PQ & SQ. Some might even call it an obsession. LOL

Got my hands on The Art of Flight... this may become my new favorite demo disc. Four stars easy for the LFE, probably good for four and a half. The avalanche scenes around fifty minutes in made me stop to clean up the stuff the horns knocked off the shelves.

Picture and sound are both outstanding. Made me wish my projector was 1080P, and the screen was a little bigger, but I'm not complaining much.

Now, I'll just have to see if I can rent The Immortals this week.
