James Bond Skygfall will be out Feb.12, just a heads up, please do a review to the graph masters.. Really looking forward to that. Just for reference I didnt like the Quantum of Solace movie, but Skyfall gave hope again to thew franchise.

Will be looking forward to what the bass looks like in that film. Thank you all great folks of avs.

I watched Dredd yesterday afternoon for the first time.

During a relatively quiet scene, when Dredd and his partner were walking through the hallway of the high rise, a loud explosion emanated from the left rear surround speaker.
Scared the living Bejesus out of me!
I must have jumped two feet off my sofa.
It was as if a grenade had just detonated, just off camera.
Anybody else catch that scene?

That seriously has to be a error. That movie has more bass then half of the movies in the 4.5 category. Has some decent low frequency scenes even though its filtered at 20hz. Eg plane hijack when the other plane comes along. Stadium detonation.
I just watched TDKR and I have to agree with that 3.5, the base was good in parts ,but was it was not room shaking good and not to mention the ULF was very anemic. Rather disappointed.

Edit just reread your post again, and now I know why the ULF was anemic.

I got to watch Total Rekall this weekend.

I really enjoyed the flick, as well as the sound in this one.

It has quite a few bass drops and sweeps which were different. Especially the intro and first few scenes have several sweeps/drops which dig pretty deep. Not a midbass monster but enough to keep most happy. I was kinda on the fence about rating but the uniqueness of the bass sweeps to me justified going a solid 4 Stars. I was in-between 3.5-4 range since the midbass wasn't as strong as some, but to me a unique bass effect scores higher for originality IMO.

I see what you mean. There was only that scene which shook my room real good. Things on the other side of my house were shaking too.

I'm talking about the first scene, where the plane is Hijacked. Just when the second plane comes along.

At the 2:00 mark

Otherwise yeah I guess you are right, there wasn't much other ULF.

I have been watching the last half an hour or so of Mars Attacks on MAX and I have to say, it has some pretty slamming bass at times.

Reading this I'm even more surprised why Despicable Me is missing from the master list.. I liked several places in it with good deep bass.

FOTP has been my demo scene, mainly because of the "pulsing" during the roll. I want to use something else tomorrow, any suggestions for a scene that's not letterbox? Maybe something in Avatar or in one of the Batmans during an IMAX scene?

In TDKR (The Dark Knight Rises) the fight scene with Bane and Batman for the first time has excellent mid bass slam with no background music. Also IMO the best demo scene is the space shuttle launch in the IMAX Hubble. No words can describe it, just make sure you have house insurance.

I think kung fu panda was 16:9.

See the firework scene when panda is named Dragon warrior and of course the scadush scene- Final scene.

Did you try 9 ? That movie is a big 5 star bass movie. There are several scenes to choose from during that movie.

One of my favorite demos is Tron Legacy... I queue up the scene right when he transports to the Grid. The chapter marker is in a stupid place though... you have to back up a few seconds to get the nice sound when he first arrives. Then just watch until your audience is ready for another demo because the next few scenes are all great for bass, surround, music and visuals.

Not bass related, but if your display has good contrast ratio, Tron is the perfect movie to show that off as well. In fact I used the light cycle scene to convince my wife that she should wear her glasses while watching movies: I freeze-framed the part where the bike is materializing, and said, okay, see all that detail... now put on your glasses... and she had an "OMG!" moment, and now she always wears her glasses when we watch movies. biggrin.gif

Thanks for the suggestions. I ended up going with an oldie but goodie...opening from Master and Commander. I know it's clipped below 20 but it's hard to beat...especially with the surround effects. I do have to check 9 out though

I really want to try Tron in my theater, but won't do it due to the clipping issues. frown.gif

The clipping doesn't bother me one iota, IMHO its still a fantastic soundtrack (for ears, maybe not charts).

Why does the clipping not bother you? Doesn't clipping damage speakers? When the horseshoe looking ship flies by, I notice clipping in my speakers. I make sure to lower the volume on that pass.

I noticed clipping in my rear speakers during the whale scene in Finding Nemo when the whale stops and let's out a loud yell. Anyone else?
