a lot of the action in the new Percy Jackson seems compressed.  It's not as loud as the normal volume.

The other tracks sound louder.  hm.

to me, in Fast 6, the low stuff seems to be in the music.  Maybe one or two action scenes with a little bit in the upper 20's to low 30's

Attack the Block is in a deadlock between 4 and 5 Stars...vote!

 

Here's an oldy but goody (for its time):

 

Saving Private Ryan:

 

Level - 3 Stars (107.67dB composite)

Extension - 1 Star (26Hz)

Dynamics - 4 Stars (26.22dB)

Execution - A solid 4 Stars.  Great film for its time.  I think the theatrical cut had more to it than the BD....

 

Overall - 3 Stars.

 

Recommendation - Buy it because it is a great film.

Is the Bluray the one on the left and DVD (Dolby Digital) on the right?    I still don't own the bluray but have the Dolby Digital DVD.

I will add it to the queue.

Was "Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow" ever tested?  I remember reading some posts about doing it, but I think you got caught up with too much stuff you forgot.

I'm trying out :"The Mortal Instruments" and all I can say is, "yeah, there's some really good bass in this.  I'm surprised."

kind of wanted to know if the English version of Kon-Tiki has the same kind of track?  Besides being 30 minutes shorter I was wondering about the audio.

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire:

 

Level - 3 Stars (107.5dB composite)

Extension - 5 Stars (8Hz)

Dynamics - 5 Stars (31.72dB)

Execution - TBD

 

Overall - TBD

 

Recommendation - TBD

 

Notes - One of my favs in the series.

Is this the Dolby Digital or the PCM track?

Has anyone tried the DVD version of "The Hobbit" to see if it's any better than the bluray version?
