    I can't imagine why it would be a whole different mix. I mean, even the video between DVD and blu ray is usually the same for a new release. Why would the developers waste their time. Then again, why would they waste their time printing a disc with lossy audio just for the rental market. As if that changes many minds.

    I don't really care about the 2 extra channels, but was the bass still good?

    I'd like to see escape plan. Hopefully my local redbox has it. Nice rating. Seems some better results are coming out finally. Not to many stinkers lately.

    Alright, if you say so. I love racing, I love true (sorta) stories, and I love bass. Can't go wrong eh! EDIT - Bought it. Will hopefully give it a spin this weekend.

    Thanks so much nube. I'm surprised most of the intensity is centered on 30hz. I see some blobs down at 20hz and down though. It was probably the duration and bandwidth that did it to my system. It was also more the lack of power in my system. I think my amp was running out of juice. I only have about 500 watts to share among 6 drivers. So they eat up the power as fast as the amp can provide it. Needless to say, I've been thinking about an amp purchase for the last few days ever since I watched that scene. Thanks again.

    Finally got around to buying and watching this. I'm always way slower than you guys. The bass in this really was low and fairly well done too. The opening scene with the bomb was quite amazing. Unfortunately my system couldn't reproduce it well. There's just so much low bass that it struggled. That's a good sign! (Any chance of a scenecap on that explosion? Would be nice to see what my system was struggling with) The bass fit really nicely into the rest of the movie as well. No stupidly bassy effects put there just to impress (causing just the opposite). Other than the opening scene, the bass was "just there" exactly how I like it. Natural. Punchy when it should be. Rumbly when it should be. And deeeeeeeep. The movie itself was only ok. Had some fun action. I think I'll enjoy it more a second time actually, but it had some storyline gimmicks and cheesy moments. Meh, what do I expect from a movie like this. I also wished it could have been more R rated. There were a few action scenes where I wanted to see Logan shred the bad guys into flesh ribbons. Instead, you just see the bad guy collapse into his claws just off screen with a dissapointing lack of blood.

    Nube, I wasn't talking about you and Max as reviewers
  8. tuxedocivic
    Ha, ya, I find myself totally skipping over reviewer's notes on audio. Who made those guys qualified, they're often totally off.

    Thanks again nube. I saw Elysium in the theatres. I'm not surprised the bass is so awesome. I could just tell the theater subs were cutting off the low stuff I don't think I'll buy it though. Already saw it, and it was only ok. If I hadn't seen it, I'd want to at least rent it. I don't buy many movies though.

    Thanks nube. I might buy wolverine based on this. Was on the fence, but it seems if you get a film without a filter its rare these days. It'll be a blind buy as I haven't seen it. But I've been a wolverine fan since I was a kid. And I've heard this one was quite good.

    2 Guns = Booooo I want to watch that movie. Was hoping for decent bass. Not sure why the action flicks keep getting lousy sound tracks and pic quality. It's the sci-fi stuff that seems to get the good sound/picture.
  12. tuxedocivic
    Thanks for that one nube.

    I finally got around to watching Star Trek into Darkness last night. Sounds like it measures. Really punchy but nothing deep. I got a slight back massage early in the movie, everything else was in the chest. I didn't notice the clipping to bad, which I usually find I'm sensitive to this. I think when explosions and FX clip, they're less noticeable than say someone yelling. I did hear some during warps, and some FX sounded harsh, but it was fairly subtle. All in all, it was fun, but could have been so much better. Sorry to bring up a couple month old release, just wanted to share my experience.
  14. tuxedocivic
    I've still never seen either of those.
  15. tuxedocivic
    I was just being cheeky. I wouldn't do that, but I feel a bad trend on it's way. STID really upset me. I'm not even a ST fan. But ST 1 was such a cool sound track, that I expected lots out of STID. Then to see how badly it was butchered, just makes me lose hope.
  16. tuxedocivic
    Well, might as well shove a port in my subs and program my mini for a 19hz HPF now. Can't hear below 20hz anyways right. So why bother with ULF.
  17. tuxedocivic
    Commando! Really. Ha, that's hilarious.
  18. tuxedocivic
    So true. I can't believe the 5 star rating reviewers are dishing out for audio on this movie. But most reviewers I've investigated has expensive whimpy speakers. And usually one expensive sub. They're better setup to evaluate video than audio.
  19. tuxedocivic
    Well considering I was going to buy STID, I now won't. Normally I buy movies based on the plot, etc. But this deserves to be dealt with by the almighty consumer's voice. Total BS.
  20. tuxedocivic
    Wow. Bummer dude.
  21. tuxedocivic
    My wife and I are looking forward to watching the great Gatsby.
  22. tuxedocivic
    Your assessment was pretty bang on max. I figured not much ULF. But good dynamics. Decent movie too. Entertaining. Thanks for capping it.
  23. tuxedocivic
    Thanks for the oblivion caps. Wanting to see this. Couldn't find it for rent on Tuesday. That's getting harder and harder to do. Won't buy it though.
  24. tuxedocivic
    I think they're captured at the line level FOH.

    Bullet to the head was really fun. I'm not sure there's much <20hz but the bass was fun. The bass was in the action where it should be. The score was great to. I really enjoyed the movie. The plot was as thin as piss, but hey, I'm a sucker for Sly and for gritty action movies. This one has a lot of gun fire and I don't bore of that easily. Despite the thin plot there were still plenty of surprises, that usually came in the form of a bullet to the head. If someone caps it, I don't think we'll be wowed, but I wouldn't let all the bad reviews steer you away from this one if you're an action junky like me. Wow, two movies in one weekend I really enjoyed I didn't think I would based on reviews. Maybe I have bad taste
