Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater DVD'S with lots of surround effects

the cinematograpy was good. but that show was dreadfull in all aspects. hero was good but it kinda had a decent story to follow. the house of the flying dragons just to much to handle. sound was good cinematography was very good but i mean if you can sit through it try it out if for nothing else the sound and cinematography which it one a award for at the oscars.

I just watched Assault on Precinct 13 last night. Pretty impressive effects. Saving Private Ryan has realistic sound effects from a combat perspective, Assault on Precinct 13 has it beat. Some pretty wicked explosions too.

Just finished watching T2 in DTS. Wow! The volume on my sub was only at 30% volume and still the LFE was impressive. The nuclear blast scene was shaking the walls. Awesome. The surrounds were very active too. During the battle in the elevator you could hear the gunshots between the front channel and its corresponding surround. The echo from the small quarters was there too. Neat effects. The DTS track was powerful, clear, and detailed. I haven't compared the DTS track to the DD track but that would make for an interesting comparison. The DTS is top notch, could the DD match it? Man I can't wait to watch something else.

Resident Evil 2 sure has a lot of sound coming out of the surround channels. First time I have had a moment of concern about blowing up the little QS speakers... although of course their power rating is huge and I wasn't anywhere near clipping the 630.

I wouldn't call them surround effects in that there isn't a lot of MOVING sound, but there sure are a lot of noises coming from beside/behind you.
