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.
