Best movie to see what your HT AUDIO will do.


I recently watched U571 in blu ray and have to say, wow! I had't seen this movie since I made several substantial upgrades and it knocked me out. It struck me because I've been watching a lot of movies recently that are full of sci-fi type effects,The Avengers, Iron Man 1,2,3 Star Trek, etc. Hey, I like action movies. The new Superman audio was very good and the newest Die Hard audio was good as well. Maybe U571 struck me because it was more potentially real sounds versus a planet exploding, etc.

What movie do you put in, old or new that makes you still say WOW! about the audio portion of the movie?

In addition to U571, which as indicated would be my go to, especially if I was a "subwoofer salesman", but I would also add "Cowboys and Aliens" to the above suggestions.
I second Masters and Commanders, not just for the cannons, but also the creaking deck, weather etc. However, I do have a problem with some of the 19th century "surgery".
Another vote for Master And Commander mainly because of the native 7.1 sound track. Foley sound is such a stunningly underrated art form and in this film they are extremely well done.

I know what a cannon sounds like in real life but the sound of a spaceship blowing up in space is still a mystery to me.

How many Gladiators can rock the Violin?

Master & Commander gets another vote. The sound is totally immersive. All of the minor ambient sounds are presented in great detail. Every time I watch that movie, I expect my house to be in total shambles and drenched in water when I turn the lights back on. You get a real feeling that you are actually on that ship.
