I can bet you that the Blu Ray will contain A LOT OF BASS EXTENSION for the bass heads here. The theaters cannot do justice but the Blu Ray will. Even if the cut the bass below 20hz we still can get more at home. It s the kind of bass that remind me EVENT HORIZON with bass extension at every corner, every moment ! So UNREAL !!!
I am expecting 5hz bass and less in A LOT OF SCENES here guys.

I'm totally with you with this movie! I just can't imagine how the sound of this movie at my HT. I must pre-order my Bluray copy ASAP!

And the movie is pretty cool too. Not perfect and it is not Alien, so if you can deal with that, then it is a really cool and fun movie to watch.

Cheers!

Rolloff at 50hz, and I had to raise the level on this one quite a bit. This is by far the worst chart I've seen thus far, even worse than Dr. No which is a movie from 1962, 17 years older than Alien (1979). A 3-year-old girl hitting random keys could have come up with a better bass track than this. 0.5 stars is my vote.

The Menu on the blu-ray rolloffs at 30hz btw.

Planning on watching Prometheus tomorrow, so wanted to see Alien again in advance - just finished watching, classic movie, but yeah absolutely horrible LFE. Buttkicker crossed at 60 Hz, the only time it wiggled through the entire movie was a few seconds when the ship landed. So I had to search this thread to see if anyone had measured it.

Are you guys watching Alien on blu-ray or DVD? I don't own the blu-ray but I have the DVD version and on my system the bass is pretty good. I have noticed the DTS version does not have alot of deep bass. The Dolby Digital track sounds alot better.

This scene actually made me think that my speakers are damaged so i did go to one of mu buddys place to listen it and yes same **** there too.

I can bet that the opening sequence for Iron Man 2 [jumping out of the plane] has a touch of clip when the camera is closest to IM's repulsors.

Nothing wrong on those repulsors, but in that scene in same time there is one explosion in background that sounds that it might distort a little.

At least the 2.0 mix is unclipped.

Funny that i found 2.0 mix is clipping too. Scene where they are in air battle and sam starts to shoot and soon after when that white traces making ship makes that flip it sounds like it distorting, not badly but still. Just found that if i put my treble to max(+6db) it's a lot better sounding, wtf.

Must get that blu-ray, goz dvd dolby wasn't that special in depth charges what i remember.

Some other submarine goodies.

Lorelei:witch of the pacific ocean
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eXEh76evlTk

This did have some very good bass(depth charges, explosions) and overall good sound made by skywalker sound guys. But sadly scandinavian dvd did have surrounds in too late mode or was it before anything happened on screen(cant remember anymore).

Below

Good movie with of course good depth charge bass and sound, but if you dont like scary movies, avoid it because its great horror movie too.

And then there was that william macy u-boat movie, but can't remember much of it, or bass.

I know it's been mentioned here before but was wondering if it's going to get added

Doubt it, until they release it here i might rent it, not really interested snowboarding though.

Sounded more like 25-40hz bass on those take off/landing scenes, though theater where i watched it dont have best bass in area, but was ok on there. Picture and 3d was great though and no freaking teal/orange in this movie, that was nice.

That scene was nicely done in creative ways on sound mixin. Before that you see that huge fireball explosion coming up, there is underground explosion(15-20hz?) that you can only mainly feel. Quite fun scene on bass wise.smile.gif

Saw Prometheus this evening.

Since our excursion taking in Men in Black 3 last weekend was so pathetically lame, decided to see something in IMAX today. clearly, examining the choices, Prometheus IMAX 3D was the choice. I prefer non #D, but what the heck. I new nothing about it other than Ridley Scott was the director,...so I quickly made the connections w/Alien.

Well, with the exception of the deepest LF inherent to a theatrical experience, it had superb sound, and I would expect nothing less. We sat mid house,...in all directions. There were some nice,...just really sweet effects, however I only thought one may have been solidly ULF heavy (good structural "ripple" through the facility). Still, make no mistake, great sound,...typical of a blockbuster big budget release, good surround not over done which is my preference. The tonal balance had no apparent harshness, but upon leaving I had significant fatigue that I'd not noticed until walking out in the lot.

The 3D, damn, just superb. Quite the Paradigm shift for me, as I've always felt it got in the way. Well this was just killer. I understand Ridley Scott used entirely 3D cams only throughout the production. Gorgeous images, tack sharp detail without any negative artifacts whatsoever. Storyline, well could of been better, but very enjoyable nonetheless. I had big, long duration stretches whereby I completely forgot I was wearing glasses (over my glasses) and just enjoyed the gorgeous film making until the occasional light bump from the dude behind me mad.gif.

Walking out, I overheard a couple in front of me saying it was deafening. It wasn't deafening, it was just right.

All in all, this should be one to watch for home release,....for sure.

Thanks

Yeah, in theater Prometheus was sounding like 25-40hz but I am pretty sure in home we will hear much more bass extension because in a couple dialogue scenes we can only hear silence ou music in the background and it s where CRAZY bass extension normally occur. And it was obvious that the speakers really cannot do judtice to this awesome soundtrack. All movie long I was thinking : 'Man this should be so much better in home !! Better resolution, better extension, much less distorsion, better dynamics

I agree as well-excellent bass in "9." I had watched certain scenes but just finished my first complete and proper viewing (proper meaning LOUD). In a few scenes I heard something rattling in the back of my room (probably a cabinet or framed print) that I'll need to look into smile.gif.

haha, i had the exact same view as you pretty much. Liked the movie overall but was waiting for the horror aspects and Alien aspects to happen so i guess I was too hyped up on it. Once I thought of it as its own movie, it was a lot better.

Watched Ghost Rider II last night. 

 

Bass was pretty good and prevalent.  I wouldn't score it over 4 though....

 

It did have a really cool ULF flutter effect on the scene where Ghost rider takes over a huge mining machine with a digging wheel.  It only occurs for a couple seconds but it was def. sub 20.......

 

Otherwise cool effect when Ghost rider makes first into to save girl and boy from thugs, but not that low....

What was there was ok, but just not enough lfe's in this movie. PQ was very good, not too crazy about the rather shallow plot.

Agree was OK, but maybe capped at a 3 or 2.5 due to lack of quantity/quality of LFE. Effects were great for the rider this time, but the sound track was lacking.

Watched "Poseidon" last night.

Not a good film, pretty cheesy and predictable--but DAMN when that wave hit, my girl thought the house was coming down.

Despite the quality of the flick, my punishing dual Empires made it much more suspenseful. Up there with Tron, IMO, although the film wasn't as saturated with bass.

On a side note, went bluray shopping @ bestbuy last night. They didn't have Cloverfield, Master and Commander, Star Trek, Titan AE, Flight of the Phoenix, War of the Worlds, or Hot Fuzz. Dernit.

Amazon has most of them for around $10. I don't think Titan A.E. is available on blu-ray. I could be wrong but I never saw a blu-ray copy. You can also get some good used blu-rays on Half and half.com. It is a ebay site. I got a lot of great blu-rays from that site for around $5.00. I got Salt, Astro Boy, Tron : Legacy and Battle LA all for less than $5.00 each.

Battle: Los Angeles
Underworld: Awakening
AVP: Aliens vs Predator - Requiem
5 Days of War
Live Free or Die Hard

Or if you do not have a problem buying used, you can try a Moviestop if one is available in your area.

Thanks for the tip on half.com. I'm usually a bargain shopper (hate admitting that), so I'll be utilizing that in the near future. I just ordered all but 1 on my list from Amazon moments ago. Some were priced better, and I saved money overall.

I saw Titan AE on my dad's system and really enjoyed it. Don't remember the format, but you may be right.

A couple of those look kinda painful, but I'll try Live Free or Die Hard and AvP:R when I go back. If I see any of the others on clearance, I'll snatch em up.

Wrath of the Titans has pretty good bass, and pretty good surround to boast your 5.1/7.1 setup. Specially when Kronos mumbles its pure lfe.

Just replaced my DVD copy of Serenity with the Blu version. I have to say I'm befuddled by some discs on the list. Not that they are on the list, but where they've been ranked. I own most everything on the 5* list. For example, I've watched HTTYD Bluray many times and love it.......but having just watched the Bluray of Serenity, I thought it had better LFE and bass than HTTYD no questions asked. HTTYD belongs very high up there, but if it's a 5*, then Serenity is a no- brainer. Just my observations...........I love the ranking lists and am thankful for them and this thread. smile.gif

Someone needs to post up a comparison peak/avg graph.....of Serenity vs HTTYD. I remember enjoying Serenity before I ever had anything that could be called 'LFE Support'

SERENITY is one of my favorite sci-fi films. You are 100% correct. It is a solid 5 on the bass chart. The entire film is loaded with lots of great scenes. Have not watched HTTYD in my theater yet. Saw it in the theater in IMAX but not at home yet.
