In Reply to: which dvd movies for best a/v experience posted by njjohn on September 10, 2002 at 03:15:05:
I thought the audio in LOTR was absolutely fantastic. Lots of surround effects that were seemless from front to back and back to front. May not be as "action packed" as the other suggestions, but the action scenes it does have sound great.
Follow Ups:
The sound editors did a fantastic job creating a 360 degree "soundscape" for LOTR. A real workout for the LF channel.However, the surround sound isn't just boom and bang for action scenes - the myriad effects are well integrated with the musical score, ambient sounds and creative sound designs, such as the effects for the One Ring, which thunks, sighs, whispers, cajoles, humms etc. (My favorite effect is in the prologue, the subterranean, subsonic "whhooooosh!" when Sauron is struck down during the Last Alliance sequence . There are subtle and/or bold effects going on all the time in all channels. This soundtrack will give your surround system quite a work-out and it's not kind to wimpy or boomy one-note subs. Word of warning: LOTR/FOTR is recorded at +4db so you might even want to turn the volume *down* a bit - unless of course you want to annoy your neighbors.
The movie's great too.
yes, i have that one but i haven't had a chance to see it yet. i got it because my son raved about it.the weekend is almost here and i now have that and monsters ball. so perhaps i can get to them.
my stereo/audiophile stuff is my solo/weekday trip, and the home theater is the group/weekend stuff.
i have to say that the ht experience is at least as good as the enjoyment of the stereo, if not better.
