oh look what you started!
“Gravity” has the best Dolby Atmos soundtrack
I watched Gravity last night with guests at -3dB in my HT. It’s been probably three years since I watched it last, and my previous viewing was on a different AVR with different speakers. The Atmos sound with 13 matching speakers blew me away. The object panning was seamless and constant. Great use of silence too, right after dynamic blasts of sound. Incredible sound design, even from the first 30 seconds of the movie. I think it’s probably the best sound design of any movie I’ve heard. Masterclass!
Other notables favorite Atmos mixes I love:
BladeRunner 2049
Spider-Man - Into the Spider-Verse
Mad Max: Fury Road

Seems like there was something on a separate thread but they linked to this as well.
Gravity 4K Blu-ray (4K Ultra HD + Blu-ray)
Gravity 4K Blu-ray. Blu-ray reviews, news, specs, ratings, screenshots. Cheap Blu-ray movies and deals.
Height channels sound like they are constantly on or at the ready with Dolby Atmos on this film.
Voices circling, music, radio, debris, debris circling, debris music flying overhead, parachute deploy, water, insects.
I didn’t turn off my height channels and replay with just the bed, but others have. I just was reading up on some reviews on the Atmos soundtrack in the last couple hours. The reviews I read by searching Gravity + Atmos all basically echo that it’s a champion mix, and a far cry better than the standard DTS mix.

“Gravity” and Dolby Atmos
Well-paced and timed, “Gravity” is a film that offers so much more than appears on the surface. Including the best Dolby Atmos soundtrack I've heard to date.

For Mad Max: Fury Road, the opening scene is one of my demos I play near every time someone comes to my house. The intro is rife with height channels sounds. From ghostly voices, to cars flying overhead. That intro can make a HT spectator turn into a I want to purchase now enthusiast. I couldn’t tell you how much of the movie has height channel information as once again I never just turned off the bed channels to test. I know there are some movies that are mixed so well you think there must be ceiling speaker action and there isn’t. American Sniper’s dust storm scene comes to mind. I did test with that one because I read the heights weren’t very active. I physically unhooked all the other speakers and just left heights and played the dust storm shootout scene and the heights weren’t doing anything.
Just to clarify, I think everyone agrees about Gravity, as far as I know. The ones Stop the Fomo said were bad, that others generally say are good/great, were Mad Max Fury Road, Alita Battle Angel, and Godzilla King of the Monsters (I think it was King of the Monsters. Definitely one of the new Godzilla movies).Height channels sound like they are constantly on or at the ready with Dolby Atmos on this film.

Yeah that's what Stop the Fomo did. He watched those 4 movies with only the height channels on, and they were all missing a ton of stuff in the height channels that was not even a question whether it should be there or not, basically. That's how he made it sound. This is the video about it.
Which hey, if the mixes are still great overall, then that's a definite positive. I don't think it should excuse the height channels not being used properly, because that attitude just sets the bar low in a way that is guaranteed to have the problem continue in the future instead of being improved, but it's a positive for sure.
Agreed on Fury Road. I've watched the entire movie a handful of times, but I probably pull up the opening scene about once a week. Same with the very beginning of Ford v. Ferrari. It's scenes like that that sell Atmos systems.Height channels sound like they are constantly on or at the ready with Dolby Atmos on this film.

I'll have to go back and check out Gravity. I've got a couple of versions of it, but haven't done a deep dive since going Atmos. Looking forward to the 4K - provided they don't muck up the audio like they did with War of the Worlds.
For those of us who couldn't snag The Diamond Luxe Edition, Warners still has 'Gravity' listed as a late 2021 4K UHD disc release which should have the ATMOS track.
