That first scene was bone chillingly realistic. I thought I was there!!! The walls and couches were shaking with the bombs. I could hear the gunshots firing past my head with the qs8s!



That is exactly why I dove into HT as well. The experience of being there without actually getting shot.

Some excellent DVDs here with good sound & surround effects
