I just watched the Chronicles of Riddick on DVD. I liked the movie ok but I was very disappointed in the sound track. Often times, a door slam had more dynamics and impact than the gun battle scenes. Not a lot of pant flapping subwoofer action either. Anyone else notice this or is it just me expecting too much?
Anyone know why the Director's cut DVD is unrated?

My guess would be because they didn't submit it to the ratings board. ???

That's what my son's gf just told me. Didn't realize she was that bright.

That is strange to me -- I just watched the move and thought it had way too much bass... well, a lot of bass at any rate (no such thing as way too much bass?)
but I see what you mean by the door slam/dynamics thing. Some of the gun fights looked like they sounded cool, but they didn't really sound cool...

I'm with wid, I thought it sounded fine all the way around. My SVS was jumping a few times.

Yeah, it just sounded like something was missing in those gun battles.
I guess the sub bass was ok. I just thought some of those fly overs should have sounded more dramatically woofie.

I agree mwc, the sound sometimes didn't match the action on the screen. The mix seemed good, but not too dynamic. The battle over Hellion Prime, and the scene when Riddick and Co. were running on the surface of Crematoria were the only exceptions that I can think of. Great movie though.
