Yeah, WoTW is one of the greats for sure. I have to say though that after doing the WoTW/9 double feature a week ago, I was just as impressed with 9 overall, maybe even slightly more. Both are 5 star though IMO easily.

Something was wrong with my setup when I watched "9". Gotta give that one another go now.

Trollhunter on Netflix streams in 384kbps DD+ 5.1

That's the same typical bit rate as a retransmitted DD cable broadcast. There should be no real discernible difference between the two. At least, it sounded hot on my end streaming with the Panny BDT210.

Hmm..DéjÃ* vu . I've too have been down that road with Outlaw. With the same scene, in fact (among many others). You'll even see a lot of posts around here where some members are turning off Dynamic EQ to keep their Outlaw subs from bottoming out. I have bad news for you guys. It's not the content, it's the sub. After getting my EMOTIVA subs, I was able to re-watch these top tier LFE movies without the "barely audible thumps" or bottoming out. Just very clean, loud, and fast bass.

Didn't intend for this to be a rant against Outlaw, but I felt obligated to disabuse some of the many Outlaw sub owners of their apprehension that it's the EQ - source material - or extension that's the problem. It's not.

My 2 cents...

Immortals gets a 5 from me!

I may be in love with this movie.

Those charts are insane!

I just hope they don't neuter it for the bluray release.

How do you know what the cable bit rate is? Besides, I would think that it not only varies from channel to channel but from one service provider to the next. I would think that DTV would probably be a bit higher since its audio and video quality is better and less compressed then many cable services that I've experienced in the past. Anyhow, it's kind of a mute point since I'm not a big fan of subtitles and the film lost my interest pretty fast.

played Super 8 this weekend....all i can say is WOW. The train crash scene maxed out the dcx2496 for my mains at my usual listening level

5 days of war should be a 5 star for bass!
post #3040 of 8166
So I watched "Troll Hunter" over Netflix. It was the best LFE I've heard through Netflix streaming, but still, nothing special in my room.

"Three Muskateers", the new one. Very impressive soundtrack. I would give it a 4 of 5 in LFE. When the flying war ship first comes on the scene and hits the building and the ground, it was shaking the house for sure. Aside from the 5 or 6 big LFE moments, I enjoyed that it was always present. Even the more subtle scenes had some impact. A lot of movies seem to have big moments and then the subs disappear for the rest. Not the case with this one.

Has anybody ever ran a level reading on the Blue Ray knowing in 2 scenes, the plane crash, and the Subway crash? Also I have never heard anybody discuss the Film Children of men. the battle towards the end of the movie has some of the deepest LFE I have ever experienced on my system?

+1 I'd vote 4 stars too.
post #3044 of 8166
Knowing is good but doesn't go too much below 20hz. Nonetheless, it's an awesomely dynamic mix. The 'end' is pretty cool sounding too.

I JUST received my new copy of Cloverfield. Last week I purchased War of the Worlds, 9, and How to Train Your Dragon. I bought them based on their 5 Star Rating and can't wait to view them now that I have a sub that can do them justice. I hope to see them all back to back (for comparison purposes), but that may not happen until my wife goes to visit our daughters and grandchildren in Minneapolis. I guess I'll have to plant the idea in her mind using subliminal techniques!

That film was discussed in the older Master List thread.

No surprise after seeing randy thom's name in the credits! Not a movie that will entertain anyone over 14 or so but the br lfe is gonna be pretty tight!!

Hahaha, during my Master List movie run I collected all of them (except 9--I kind of hate Tim Burton). HTTYD, WOTW and Cloverfield are all perfect choices when you're in the mood to demonstrate your system's LF extension and output. Enjoy

I blame you SaviorMachine for my increased credit card bill...you're the one who turned me on to this thread!!

I couldn't even get 20 minutes into this movie before turning it off. Guess I just wasn't in the mood, but man...not recommended. I almost wish this rating system had a secondary scoring system which included how good the movie was. I realize that's much more subjective than a listening (for bass) test, but if it saves one person from wasting time on a crappy movie, I'm all for it

There's a good reason why I passed on the Immortals Blu-Ray in favor of Tintin the other day... which, by the way, sounded like a four star.

Immortals will have to be a lot cheaper before I buy it. I'm glad I only rented it. Looks good, sounds good, but does not compute too well story wise. I will say it's better than some others on the list though (I'm looking at you, Pulse).

Tintin was worth the money, I thought.

You want bass check out 5 Days of War.

There are plenty of threads where you can discuss the movie itself and I am glad that has no part in this thread since LFE is the focus and how good/bad a movie is should have no influence at all in this area.

I have to admit it wasn't a very creative film. These movie makers should take a lesson from the late Errol Flynn. Pretty much for teenagers and the like. But the sound and PQ was very good.

If there were a secondary scoring system then Percy Jackson would be omitted from everything BUT the bass.

I say leave it "as is"; tastes vary as to types of movies preferred, but we all love the LFE here!

My intention wasn't to jump in this thread and completely change the structure. Just saw so many posts about TTM and it kept reminding me of my experience with it

I just watched Cloverfield and all I can say is...AMAZING!! I can't believe pictures stayed on my walls during the "attack" scenes. My Home Theater is in a dedicated room in the basement and I felt constrained to check out the upper level during some of the intense, bass scenes and I could hear and feel it throughout. This is a ranch-style home (with 2,000 sq. ft. on each level) and there was no place for me to escape.

There is absolutely no doubt it deserves the 5 Star placement it has received. If I have time today or tomorrow I'll be slipping War Of The Worlds into my Pioneer Elite Blu-ray player. Sweet!!

Cloverfield was one of my favorites as it has a lot of great bass moments and not just some here or there. Funny thing is I never saw the movie until I got my sub.

Another one for the books is Man On Fire with Denzel Washington that I dont recall reading anyone on here talk about. Maybe not 5 stars, but it has a lot of good bass in it and that was watching it on cable. i would imagine the dvd/blu ray would be much better.
