Dark Crystal (1982)

[cherbert]

Has anyone else purchased this and listening in Dolby Atmos?

The opening narration can't seem to decide which speaker it wants to come out of. It starts on the center channel and then suddenly its above to my left and generally all over the place. I'm pretty sure it's not artistic choice because it sounds stupid and just not normal.

I haven't got much further yet to see if the rest of the film suffers any other audio issues with the Atmos track.

Also, IMO the picture quality doesn't seem as stunning as the 4K UHD review here seems to suggests - so my question is, is the 4K UHD a different master and therefore superior or was the reviewer just getting overly excited?
