After watching this movie I am surprised that there isn't more on other movies. For instance, in Casino Royalle, there was only scene where the surround really really wowed me.
I have to say, I was really a skeptic when it came to surround sound for movies when I started my audio journey. Well, maybe not a skeptic, but I didn't think it would have much impact on my viewing experience. Boy was I wrong!
If you haven’t seen it yet try out the anime movie Appleseed (2004 version). Chalk full of great surround effects that blend with the on and off screen action. The opening scene is great. Breaking glass showering down around you. Explosions throwing concrete up against the walls. Characters running up from behind and past you onto the screen with the audio following them. Shell casings bouncing all around on the floor. And IMO a pretty cool soundtrack too. I use it to evaluate every change I try with my system.
Actually there is a lot of very good surround sound on anime movies and some TV shows.
I agree that the surround sound adds much more to the movie than I expected. Based on how movies sounded in the theater I didn’t expect that much but when I first hooked up my QS8s I was totally blown away. It really enhances video games too.
