RE: Akira on Blu-Ray: Wow, what (hyper) sonics!

It seems to me that movies have music and human voices.

Hey, that's what LPs, CDs, etc have.

It also seems to me that one's emotional response to a film is more invested in audio cues than visual ones. Consider a horror film. Watch it without the audio. It's not scary. Watch it with the audio. It's scary. Consider a tear jerker. Watch it without the audio. It's not sad. Watch it as the violins are brought up in the mix. It's sad.

Video does not cue you in to any emotion nearly as well as audio. The notion that 24/192 is useful in music only but not film is wrong.

I've never seen Akira, but I have no reason to question 4season's impression.
