In Reply to: Impressed with Lord of the Rings played on 2.0 posted by kvkmak on August 26, 2002 at 05:49:31:
The HT forums are saying LOTR/FOTR is a reference quality soundtrack in 5.1I wasn't expecting much in 2.0 but was amazed at the mix through my Alons, which, thank God, go deep. I don't know how they mixed that huge soundscape down to two channels while still preserving the integrity of the original. The people who mixed this soundtrack cared about what they were doing and they were GOOD.
I agree with you about the popcorn, but I'll still take the theatrical experience - if done well. A friend manages an AMC multi-plex in my town. I saw LOTR there when it opened, on a 50-60' screen, with a fabulous DTS surround system properly calibrated - WOW. Many theatrical exhibitors present films in a sloppy manner, and that is an over-priced experience. But done right, it can be magic there in the dark with an audience.
