nube Posted May 31, 2015 Report Share Posted May 31, 2015 The Admiral: Roaring Currents (Korean 5.1 DTS-HD MA) Level - 4 Stars (110.98dB composite) Extension - 5 Stars (1Hz) Dynamics - 3 Stars (24.97dB) Execution - 5 Stars Overall - 4.25 Stars Recommendation - Rent Notes: Although probably only Bosso can reproduce this thing's deepest content, be careful because the hottest moments are all below 5Hz. Not a dynamic mix, because of so much constant content, but it's the definition of full-bandwidth. PvA: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mojave Posted June 2, 2015 Report Share Posted June 2, 2015 I just ordered and will have it on Friday. I love Asian epic semi-historical movies. Red Cliff is one my favorite movies and I just watched Mongol again a few weeks ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nube Posted June 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2015 So, a bit more about this movie. It is the super cheesy, epic Asian high fantasy/historical legend style that is both reminiscent of Japanese video games and recent Chinese blockbusters. It's almost nonstop melodrama and action, which might rub some the wrong way, while others will love it. But, I'll be damned if it doesn't deliver the goods for bass almost 100% of the time. Every action sequence is filled to the gills with hard-hitting, full bandwidth effects, and they're used expertly. This has the most deep content of any movie I've seen in a long, long time, and the movie's not terrible, either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxmercy Posted June 7, 2015 Report Share Posted June 7, 2015 Sounds like we need some scenecaps for this one. That PvA is unreal. JSS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nube Posted July 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2015 I cannot believe more people haven't seen this one. It's definitely my bass movie of the year so far, and it's not even close. This is what Master & Commander (DTS-ES) should have been, although I will say that the first salvo in M&C might have better sound design, but just the first salvo.

Reefdvr27 Posted August 5, 2015 Report Share Posted August 5, 2015 Has nothing to do with anything here, but I really have to suggest that everybody see Kung Pow enter the fist! I laughed for days with this one. Talk about cheesy asian films. This one was taken from an asian film that was never completed. They incorporated a film into the movie with voice dubs and characters. By all means anyone that likes this stuff has got to see it. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0240468/ -- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aj72 Posted August 21, 2015 Report Share Posted August 21, 2015 Didn't love the movie much but got to give bass the kudos. Has some fairly hard hitting scenes for sure if lacking a little variety but loads of it. I guess that's the lack of dynamics? An epic tale.

3ll3d00d Posted October 26, 2015 Report Share Posted October 26, 2015 I watched this tonight and completely agree with the comments so far, the 2nd half of the film just pounds throughout. I did like the guy with the massive wig and facemask too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toe Posted February 7, 2016 Report Share Posted February 7, 2016 I'm late to the party on this one, but DAMN! Watched this last night and I have not taken a pounding like that in a while! That last ~hour is just absolutely insane for LFE/audio! LFE fest for sure! I voted 5 and rent, but I am planning on trying to find a cheap used copy at some point.
