Casino Royale!
I had some guys over last night and we all agreed that the sound wasn't great. The dialog was generally clear, which is a plus, but the volume difference from "talking" scenes to "action" scenes was pretty big. I found myself adjusting the sound volume throughout the movie. The action scenes would have this very loud soundtrack cranked through them (I like things loud too). That is fine, but the scene before it was so much quieter. Maybe it was what seemed like a lacking soundtrack throughout. I mean it seemed like no musical score, and then a blasting song playing... I liked the movie, but the varience in sound level could have been better.




I'm surprised to hear that. The Lossless track on BR was pretty impressive. Although there is a big difference in SQ with Lossless and DD/DTS, if one is good, the other usually is too. (I like to toggle back and forth for the hell of it to remind myself the expense was worth it).

One movie that sucked is Waterworld. Even the Lossless track was horrible.

We watched Dejavu last night and that movie friggin rocked. The opening scene has a background LFE tone that just kept the 600 thumping in a way where everyone was holding their chests. A new LFE demo disk for sure.
