I saw Super 8 in the theater here in OKC but then saw it again in Milwaukee with my son and his family. I enjoyed it both times, thought it sounded great, and am looking forward to seeing the BD. According to Blu-Ray Digest, which I have found to be reliable, the BD will be released on October 18.

Ditto that! Major LFE throughout. Of course the movie is in Spanish, but the bass is fantastic and it's a great horror flic also.

DVD Talk has Super 8 for November 22. In other news Transformers 3 still on track for September 30.

Only time will tell, of course, but because the release date announced for the Super 8 BD at High Def Digest is only about six weeks away, I have a fairly high degree of confidence that it will, indeed, be released that day. At least they have always been right when I relied on them before. I'll continue to track the High Def Digest site and report if anything changes.

Watched Super Hybrid last night and this one will give you a LFE fix for sure! This movie is loaded with it.........the opening ~5 minutes alone has a ton of the good stuff. Not sure how deep it goes, but its very thick and potent if I had to describe it. My hair was moving off and on throughout the whole film......Fun!

Aah, what the heck... i might try it, needed some craptastic movies a while. Thanks for the heads up.

Just watched first blood dts dvd, no bass at all, but it was pretty good mix otherwise(surrounds) and still frikin great movie. Also watched new daughter fully, there is more deep bass than that cave scene, the dream scene rattled everything in room, also dinner scene did have low level 20hz bass sweeps plus there was other good scenes too(shotgun blasts). Decent movie, didn't like the ending though.

some additions to the list

Avp 2 requiem. 4.5 star(lots of very deep stuff)
Hitman 4 star(mr price scene is awesome)
Armour of god 2 4 star(new mix in fortune star dts dvd is pretty nuts in lfe, bass down to 10 hz, dont bother other versions.)
Devil 3 star(couple very strong bass scenes that will scare you in bass in your pants style) Good work marc.
Event horizon 4 star(lots of strong 30-40hz bass, opening scene is good example.
Cliffhanger 3,5 star(lotsa strong 30hz? and up bass, sadly it distorts/clips badly in couple heavy explosion scenes in dvd, not sure about blu-ray.)
Downfall(der untergang) DTS 4.5 star(whole movie is like subway station scene from cloverfield. Great movie too.

What you guys think?

Haven't seen any of those but New Daughter

Might have to track down Downfall... been curious about that one.

Watched How to Train Your Dragon again this evening - first time since the other tapped horn went together. I let the two off the leash a little. That was fun

Does Downfall really have a lot of bass? I saw it ages ago (rental) before I got my ht so I wouldn't know. I thought there was a lot of dialogue in the movie. Either way I loved the film and would consider getting it on blu-ray.

Question for you guys. It might have already been covered, but I am curious how Saving Private Ryan stacks up in the LFE department. Specifically, chapter 16 when the German tanks roll in. That scene seems to produce pretty impressive bass. It is also a great scene to demo your surround system with bullets whizzing by etc.

Although good for its day (I used it as a demo clip), it is pretty average by todays standards. At least on my system.

When it comes to LFE alone, I am sure that by this time Saving Private Ryan has been supplanted by more recent films. Nevertheless, for overall sound design, for which Saving Private Ryan won the Oscar, no BD I own sounds better when played on my system; it remains one of my demonstration discs.

Yep. It falls behind the times with an not-so-awesome level of extension. However, SPR is still to this day a state of the art audiofest of awesomeness! Extension rarely goes below 30hz but the quality and quantity of bass is still very, very good. This is one of my favorite movies and is still a fantastic demo disc.

Curious how "Band of Brothers" compares? Any bass below 20 Hz? I'm thinking primarily of the Bastogne sequence.

I haven't measured BoB, myself but there is a good amount of bass in it. For sure. The tree shelling sequence in those episodes have some of the strongest bass of the series.

Any of you had the opportunity to experience The Pacific? I found the sound in general outstanding, the film-making was superb, and it's so nice to get several hours of something you enjoy. The character development is as you'd expect,..deeply complex and multi-faceted. LFE,....tremendous quality, extension? ...I don't know, I'm hoping one of you could enlighten me.

They spent hundreds of millions of dollars on this bad boy,...it shows. It's slow starting, builds and holds you, and moves you to tears. Powerful stuff. The greatest generation.

Thoughts?

Pacific is my favorite of all LFE BD I've seen to date. The beach scene when Basilone goes back into war is above and beyond anything I've experienced. The blending of high pitched bullets and explosions from HE is amazing. So many different dynamics and this scene is the perfect length. I've tried a ton of scenes from all the recommended lists and the Pacific is better than all IMO.

BTW: I loved BoB and first time thru the Pacific I was a little disappointed but after watching it again and again it gets better and better. Books are great too.

What happen to the bass in Suckerpunch? Did they forget to put it on the bluray? I keep reading reviews online about how great the LFE is. I have a 12 inch and an 18 inch subwoofer. And they are both on and setup correctly.

The giant samurai and the dragon were both pretty cool I thought. There is definitely Better out there and hopefully Zach Snyder will redeem himself with the new superman. I'm pretty sure with chris nolan attached the new superman will be great!

It was bass-shy even in the cinema. It's too bad. Really had the visuals that would imply really awesome bass but...

Most people on this thread have bass that hits much deeper and harder than imax

Sucker Punch wasn't bad, just wasn't great....it had the potential for amazing low end usage....
