All I can say is WOW !!! I'm certainly impressed with Underworld Awakening on Blue Ray Disc !!!
That 7.1 DTS-HD Master track had my system rocking.
The surround sound mix was very nicely done ,all 7-channels working hard and the LFE was A** kicking from start to finish. Definitely a 5-star !!!

I just knew at least one person was going to give me a well deserved hard time

To keep this on topic, I cant go more than 2/5 for the LFE in the Nuggets and Lakers game 7. Nice subtle bass when the ball bounced.......the best moments came during the 2 thumps right after the "de-FENSE" crowd chant.......these were firmly nessled at 38-39hz going off my trained ear, but I did not detect much below this. I could be wrong though and if the graphs confirm single digit ULF, I will for sure change my vote to 5 stars!









Just a joke fellas......I love the graphs as much as anyone and find them interesting.

WOW!

For me, Immortals isn't even in 300's class as far as the actual movie goes.

But to each his own of course

300 is the better movie, but I was just much more entertained by Immortals in my HT. I thought the audio was considerably better in Immortals for one and I just had more "fun" with it for whatever reason. I watched 300 once, and dont feel any need to rewatch it again. I would watch Immortals if I owned it another time or two just for the audio experience alone.

Its all subjective though as you say.

The Three Musketeers did not impress me too much in the LFE area. It had it's good moments. The Airship scenes were really good in the bass department. I thought the overall mix was done very well. Very dynamic and strong. Just thought it could have dug down a little deeper on certain scenes. Just to be sure it was not my set up I put in Underword : Awakening right after to view the first few minutes of it, ( have not watched it yet ) I actually had to turn down the volume because the bass was so much more punishing than the Three Musketeers. I'll probably watch Underworld sometime during the week. When those airships entered the storm cloud during the battle there was some deep stuff going on there.

I agree JSS. I also am a big fan of Greek mythos films. I found the few God vs. Titan fights entertaining at the end, but I was dissapointed that they had to interdisburse the human fight scenes between King Hyperion and Theseus. IMO, Mickey Rourke's portayal of Hyperion was ultra stinky in the film. Of course, it was hard to take him seriously with those ridiculous helmets he wore throughout the film.

I noticed that MI4: Ghost Protocol is not on the movie list. I have to think that is at least in the 4 star range.

I agree, Watched last night def 3.5-4 stars. i hesitate for 4stars bc there was not that much variety of bass, some really strong explosions though! The explosions were particularly sharp, abrupt, and startling.........

I had a couple friends over their first experience in my theater and they both were startled multiple times by this one.

Watched some movies this weekend:
Take shelter - pretty good movie. Storms and thunder sounding very realistic. Id give it a weak 4.

Chronicle - very good movie. Good LFE but nothing crazy. 3.5-4 or so.

Puss in boots. Cant really remember anything in particular about the LFE. 3.5-4 or so id guess.

I was gonna ask how is Chronicle as a movie, story and sound?

Also does anyone know if The Grey is a good movie? I'm gonna guess there won't be much LFE in that movie but maybe good surround.

I liked it. An unusual twist on the old "superhero story". The story wasnt anything special but the sound was good.

There's some there, but for the most part it rolls off at 9-10Hz. I can't monitor that low, but I'm good to 14Hz or so. It was definitely making full use of the tapped horns.

There's a quieter version of that rumble throughout a large part of the second half of the movie whenever Melancholia gets close to Earth, but the only times it gets loud are the two scenes I graphed.

I was under the impression that your graphs showed digital data from the disc?

Here's the listening threshold of low frequencies (taken from the paper "Low Frequency Hearing Thresholds in Pressure Field and in Free Field" by Watanabe/Moller) compared to movie reference level:

I just watched The Incredible Hulk (again) last night. That entire track is awesome. I can't comment much on ULF because I only go down to 15Hz, but even the shootout in the factory towards the beginning is an awesome demo-worthy scene. The gunfire is very impactful and dynamic, and there are some LFE moments with the Hulk.

Then the sonic cannons scene is really fun with those pressure waves (not the lowest hitting, but just a fun effect) and the 50 cal guns you can feel in your chest.

And of course the end battle with all the huge floor-shaking impacts.

Comparing this to what I experienced in the IMAX theater during the Avengers, I'm going to predict Hulk wins for overall dynamic range.

I distinctly remember the gunfire in Avengers to be on the wimpy side. Not to say Avengers will be bad... I think it's got some really nice sound. It was just an artistic choice to make the guns almost background noise the characters could talk over... but from a realism standpoint, it does make you wonder if the sound designers/mixers have ever been around live gunfire. That is some crazy-loud stuff (and quite dangerous for your ears without protection). And I like a soundtrack better when they acknowledge that (even if they are using LFE to give you the impression of loudness without drowning out the entire rest of the mix).

I agree, I remember when the Dark night came out you can really feel the punch from the midbass with little shaking which The Avengers did not have in the same cinema.

I'm totally with you on this one. I am still hoping it was due to my cinema setup (not capable of handling the sound pretty well) and hopefully the BluRay version will sound much better at my home. It seems I will have to wait until September to clarify that.

That seems to depend on what theater the movie is seen in. I saw The Avengers in one of the smaller type IMax's. The most impressive part of the sound to me was the mid-bass slam. It could have been because we were fairly close to the screen, but the mid-bass was some of the most impressive I've heard in a movie theater. The deep bass, not nearly as much.

Yes but I watched it in the same exact cinema, maybe the volume was louder for the Dark Night, but who knows. Hell, I watched MI:4 in an IMAX that made both sound weak in comparison but that is a different cinema so I can not compare. Avengers was better than MI:4 in the same cinema though. Yes, I watch them more than once at different cinemas.

So, I went and rented Immortals last night and watched the action scenes. There are a fair number of good action scenes in the film, with some good bass action. Here is a list of the more prominent scenes worth viewing from an audio perspective:

1:45 to 2:11 (this scene also repeats later in the film)
40:58 to 42:09
49:43 to 50:35
1:02:27 to 1:02:58
1:03:13 to 1:03:29
1:03:51 to 1:04:24
1:29:33 to 1:29:00
1:29:26 to 1:29:46
1:30:22 to 1:30:57
1:30:55 to 1:31:07
1:31:17 to 1:31:24
1:31:44 to 1:31:54
1:32:02 to 1:32:10
1:32:15 to 1:32:20
1:33:25 to 1:33:34
1:35:19 to 1:35:41
1:36:37 to 1:38:09

Quite a few segments actually, and there are a few others that I didn't mention.
