Movie Story-Telling and Pacing Differences - 20's through Today - Blu-ray Forum

well my second cheerished component of film is sound design, so I may deviate somewhat. Star trek brought me into movies. the colour of the enterprise, its blue dish, it's red impulse engines, the beautiful circular shapes. My heart was full of warmth as a child seeing this. but sonically my ears were as tingly. The Mutara nebula,

Wrath of Khan Lightning
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JbL1b...utu.be&t=2m40s

the sound of the lightning, sounds like a cymbal being "swished", The explosions of the ships in Star Trek 3 are amazing, quick, in one instance quite agonizing.The music of James Horner and Jerry Goldsmith are my templates so other wordly.

I miss that style of sound in todays movies. I think as much as people complain about the safety net of generic hollywood blockbuster movies retreading old ground, Similar arguments about safety in sound can sometimes apply to the latest movies as well. If you put triple the channels of theatres and the superior dynamic range aside, sometimes time delay with thunder from lightning will make me take notice. (a recent watch of Close Encounters of The Third Kind has this time delay and it made the film feel so raw and unregulated by a to-do checklist) To say I can't remember the last movie movie that delayed it's thunder in the sound design, is an understatement.

Nicely enough Star Trek won me over this year. Trek is loaded with nostalgic sound effects harking back to the 60's loved that.

Point of interest however, The Uss Vengeance

So unusual, gave the ship and it's admiral a bit of menace. but then listen to "Science Officer 0178" and his incredible voice. I just could not get enough shock, that was awesome.

It was for me a nice little link of movies (Khan Theme) One got me interested in my youth, the other re invigorates my interests as an adult.
