Blu-ray movie recommended for audio demo - Blu-ray Forum

Imakida · 11-02-2007, 07:03 PM

Hi there,

First of all, I don't have much money for now so I can't buy all the movies I want. That said, which BR movies would you recommend to impress my friend with the AUDIO quality?

buckshot · 11-02-2007, 07:10 PM

well, if transformers can get 5 for audio any old movie will do.

personally my favorite is flyboys. the bullets wizzing by the explosions, its nice. second to that would be.........silver surfer.

Spiderman 3 is pretty much reference quality audio. Any action scene is perfect for auditioning that sound system.

Agreed. Venom's screams and screeches are nice and loud. Love the PCM soundtrack on it.

GarettP · 11-02-2007, 07:14 PM

Pirates 1 & 2 wouldn't be a bad choice either.

GarettP · 11-02-2007, 07:17 PM

300's PCM track is pretty worthy as well.

It SHOULD have been out by now (delayed 'till Feb '08 - DAMN YOU, FOX!!!), but Master and Commander had AWESOME surround quality on the DVD, so if Fox treats the soundtrack well on the BR, that b*%#h will make your brain explode w/it's awesomeness.

I think Black Hawk Down has a very nice audio track, too.

well most people really can't even tell the difference between lossless and high quality lossy encodings. I myself, a musician for the last 20 years, have been tricked on which stream is better a few times.

So....don't worry about what the stats are, just get one with lots of big noise and fun

Pre bluray/HDDVD I would alwasy use the matrix lobby scene to impress people with my speakers

Hopefully we'll have a chance to use that scene again soon, but on blu-ray

Nicadian · 11-02-2007, 08:10 PM

tears of the sun. good movie, good sound, decent price. I think the best that would sound great god willingis coming to blu, saving private ryan (normandy beach)

UlicBelouve · 11-02-2007, 08:19 PM

In addition to some of the others recommended, I'd recommend 28 Weeks Later. has some impressive ranges for sound. I thought it worked well.

kiskiboy97 · 11-02-2007, 08:19 PM

A third vote for Black Hawk Down here.

Imakida · 11-02-2007, 11:04 PM

Thanks you everybody!

I already have 300, 28 weeks later and pirates 1 and 2.
From these, my favorite for the audio is 28 weeks later..

I'll follow your recommendation and I'm gonna buy spidey 3 (I would have anyway) and black hawks down!
I love music shows and dave matthew band so I'll look and this one too.. and perhaps the Shakira show.. well not for the audio for this one

SlapnutsGT · 11-03-2007, 04:49 AM

28 weeks later is SUPERB ... the DTS MA track sounds beautifully crystal clear with the small ambient sounds ... all blends well together with the killer musical soundtrack the movie has ... by far best audio track movie on bluray I personally own
