4K - 8K Resolution and/or Dolby Atmos/DTSX Content Reviews

Yeah I was referring to the Overhead-Atmos sound.

I can count a lot more than 20 movies with GREAT Overhead-ATMOS soundtracks that are easily heard and not subtle at all. Dune-2 is NOT one of them.

If you watch "Civil War", check out those scenes that I noted. I guarantee you - the Overhead-ATMOS sounds are NOT SUBTLE at all - they are IN YOUR FACE.

I find it interest that your list has so many DTS-X titles on it, specifically the Jurassic Parks and Atomic Blonde.

When I was testing my heights, I didn't think DTS-X was even working when I played them. It was, but those titles only put very specific noises in the heights, rather than more constant atmospheric sound typical in a lot of Atmos mixes. It was clearly a mixing choice, but given the lack of activity up top, I wouldn't have expected to see them on the list - maybe I just didn't sample enough when listening overtly.

Everest would be a good addition to your list as well. Give it a watch if you haven't.

The movies on my list have significant Overhead sound effects. As far as immersive sound effects, any good discrete DTS/DD soundtrack can have immersive surround effects that makes you feel like you are right in the middle of the action.

Godzilla Minus One AND Minus Color are available on Amazon Prime and Apple TV (buy or rent). It is apparently available on Netflix outside of the US, no ETA for when it will release in the US.

Watched Godzilla Minus One on Netflix last night.

I'm giving it a solid 9/10 rating. PQ/SQ were great for streaming. The Netflix version is 4k with a 5.1 sound mix. If you're a fan of the old Godzilla movies, this will be perfect for you. I've personally never watched the really old Godzilla movies. Just seen clips of them over the last 30+ years. The CGI looked better in this movie than it did on the $170 million Furiosa movie! I believe the budget for this movie was between $15-$20 million.

Not sure when this movie will hit actual 4k disc release in the US. Hopefully soon. In the meantime, hit up Netflix and watch this ASAP!

The studio reported no plans for a US 4k release so far. As of now, it will only be released on BD in 1080. My guess is they'll wait until close to the holidays for the 4k.

Oh, so Netflix didn’t offer ATMOS for this movie?

For ATMOS version, right off the bat you will get the kamikaze plane flying overhead very distinctly. Very active ATMOS overhead surround sound.

By far GMO is the best Godzilla movie to date. The reason is because it’s a drama movie about PEOPLE, and Godzilla is just the big icing on the cake.

All the other Godzilla and Kong movies are mainly about the monsters.

So my wife hates every Godzilla and Kong movie. But she absolutely loved GMO.

They are selling the GMO Japanese 4K UHD Disc on eBay. The US version will probably be the same.

On my receiver it shows Dolby Atmos, but I only have a 5.1 system and obviously cannot check for overhead speakers.

Sorry, forgot to edit my post. Yes, it was in Atmos. My processor said Atmos but Netflix said 5.1. Just checked it and now and Netflix says Dolby Atmos.

F#%kin’ great movie! Netflix Japanese track is in Dolby Atmos, English track is 5.1.

LOL, when we watched it in the theater, after the first scene, it was a while before you see him again. I was thinking "for a Godzilla movie, there isn't a lot of Godzilla in it", but then there is. It was great because of exactly what you said: there is a story first, that happens to be affected by the fact that Godzilla is around. I would say in every other Godzilla movie, I didn't care about any of the characters and what they said did not matter unless it related to Godzilla. In this one, you get involved in the character's story.

Yeah all the other Godzilla movies basically have no real story other than Godzilla kicks a$$.

Like in "Godzilla x Kong", I just fast forward to the monster fighting scenes.

They can pretty much make an apocalyptic movie where we see Godzilla kicks a$$ from beginning to end and call it a day.

 

[Trebdp83]

This one did have an actual story and heart but did borrow from other famous monster movies. How could it not be influenced by others? I was on the edge of my seat at one point waiting for somebody to say "You're gonna' need a bigger boat." "Jaws" was similar in that well written characters dealing with real world problems suddenly had to contend with an enormous and terrifying threat.

We watched Godzilla X Kong about 2 weeks ago. Typical fare. One of the reviews I read summed it up well: "Story extraneous; this is the WWE of Monster movies"

Those are fun, too.

Furiosa 2024, Streaming, 4K, ATMOS.

PQ- I thought PQ looks awesome on my 150” screen. Extremely bright, deep black level, beautiful, colorful, smooth, no grains. Movie was shot on 6.5K IMAX Digital Camera Arri Alexa.

SQ. Bass is great. Some good Overhead ATMOS sounds - a lot more than in Dune-2 (which I didn’t hear ANY overhead sounds). Bed surround is great.

Plot/Writing - I like it a lot. IMO on par with Mad Max Furry Road writing, but I actually like the plot/story of Furiosa a little bit better. Both excellent writing.

OH, is it already out? I heard it was coming already, but didn't realize it was out. I preordered the 4K disc, which releases in August.

Yeah out on Digital to order, not out on HBOMax.

I am surprised it didn’t make more at the box office ($168 million worldwide) after watching this movie. I think it’s excellent all around.

Of course, very subjective, but I think the story of Furiosa is better than Dune2 ($711 million).

If you have a K-scape system, they get released on K-scape the same day they release on digital platforms. The K-scape version will be the best version to watch.

I liked the story of Dune 2, but it was a little slow. One of the better films I watched this year though. Furiosa only had a few slow bits, but was fun all the way through and I liked the story too. I am glad I saw it in the theater, it was solid, and I am also surprised it didn't do better at the box office.

I own the 4 film 4K anthology of Mad Max; first one is still my favorite. "That there is Kundalini and Kundalini wants his hand back."

Kscape is a bit pricey for that benefit, but yeah.

Hahaha, you're really hating on Dune 2. Dune 2 is Empire Strikes Back level of awesome. 10/10 absolutely.

The reason Furiosa bombed at the box office is because it's 9 years too late. It also, didn't include the one person everybody wants to see "MAD MAX". hahaha Furiosa is not a huge draw. She was a great character in Fury Road, but a full standalone movie 9 years after, isn't going to be a hit.

Fury Road had more going on. Furiosa did not have a large script. Furiosa herself, barely talks for the entire 2+ hour movie. If people are excited to see Chris Hemsworth talk a lot, then they will be looking forward to this movie.

The chase sequences were fun, the sound in the theater i saw it in was garbage and the picture quality was meh. I hope the physical disc changes my tune for PQ/AQ because it was subpar in the theaters. Minus a few bass heavy scenes that were pretty impactful.

Fury Road is a 10/10 movie. Furiosa is a 8/10 movie.
