maxmercy Posted November 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2012 Just put HTTYD in my Netflix que. I had forgotten about that one. Will post up some more this afternoon. B:LA blew me away, it was a tremendous sleeper. Prob would not have even watched the film w/o hearing about it on the forums. Getting WotW, WotT, and Prometheus this weekend from 'Flix....should be interesting.... JSS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxmercy Posted November 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2012 X-Men 3:Level: 4 Stars (110.75dB composite)Extension: 5 Stars (9Hz)Dynamics: 5 Stars (29.14dB)Execution: 4 Stars - Well done film, could have had stronger ULF. If we remember, this film was all the rage in the DrPain thread for a while...Overall: 4.5 StarsRecommendation: Rent. This film did not get directed by Bryan Singer, and it shows. Still pretty good, but you can tell something is missing when compared to X1 and X2, but it is an improvement LF-wise over the other 2 films.Casino Royale:Level - 3 Stars (109.16dB composite)Extension - 5 Stars (1Hz)Dynamics - 5 Stars (30.19dB)Execution - 4 Stars - Again, some more beef in the sub-20Hz region and you have a 5-Star film. More 'rumble' than 'slam' in this film.Overall - 4.25 StarsRecommendation - Buy. This film truly rebooted the franchise, with a tougher, grittier, more believable Bond (insofar as James Bond is 'believable'). Although it sucks that the film ends 3 separate times, it is still well put together.JSS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxmercy Posted November 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2012 Good to hear that Abe kicks some ass.... Number 2 on my queue......only reason it won't be here just yet is it says "Short Wait".... Assassin's Bullet has been #1 on the queue for a while, and it says "Long Wait"...

djbluemax1 Posted November 21, 2012 Report Share Posted November 21, 2012 Finally rented Assassins Bullet. Wasn't a fan of the movie. Had some LFE but on tge whole, the movie felt like a made for TV movie, or a straight to video deal. Max Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madaeel Posted November 21, 2012 Report Share Posted November 21, 2012 Posting tomorrow: Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Slayer Put it on your list... the entire soundtrack is low end awesomeness. What'd you think of the movie itself Dave? A friend let me borrow it for the 3D, so I'm excited I have good bass to look forward too, I was just concerned about it being...........watchable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxmercy Posted November 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2012 My expectations are very low for this film, so I won't be disappointed. JSS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madaeel Posted November 21, 2012 Report Share Posted November 21, 2012 Yah mine are too I was just hoping I could make it through the whole movie. Hopefully the 3D and bass will help me endure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxmercy Posted November 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2012 Netflix says they will ship Abe, WotW, and WotT today. We'll see how they measure up to the others! Next year will bring a new Iron Man, a new Thor, and hopefully a sleeper or two....like Battle:LA was. JSS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madaeel Posted November 21, 2012 Report Share Posted November 21, 2012 Don't forget Superman. It looks like it will be a great movie and a great soundtrack. I hope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djbluemax1 Posted November 22, 2012 Report Share Posted November 22, 2012 Anyone charted 'Fourth Kind'? Caught the tail end of it on cable and was surprised by the LFE in the little bit I saw of it. There were some scenes where there wasn't much audible but stuff was shaking. Max Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxmercy Posted November 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2012 Here's Quantum of Solace:Level - 3 Stars (109.73dB composite)Extension - 5 Stars (1Hz)Dynamics - 5 Stars (27.84dB)Execution - 4 Stars. Terrific Mix, just not as good as the best.Overall - 4.25 StarsRecommendation - Buy. This film was better than the first Bond reboot, IMO.JSS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope you enjoy you're thanksgiving or whatever day you have off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxmercy Posted November 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2012 Black Hawk Down:Level - 3 Stars (108.68dB composite)Extension - 5 Stars (3Hz)Dynamics - 4 Stars (27.48dB)Execution - 5 Stars - Full bandwidth sound nearly throughout...and the Irene scene is legendary in ULF circles....Overall - 4.25 Stars. Recommendation - Buy. This is a first class film in every regard, and very engaging. The Irene scene is just icing on the cake for the ULF capable, and nearly every scene with a BlackHawk has some 5-7Hz content in it.JSS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxmercy Posted November 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2012 X-Men Origins:Wolverine:Level - 2 Stars (107.03dB)Extension - 5 Stars (1 Hz)Dynamics - 4 Stars (25.41dB)Execution - 4 Stars - Although I had a great experience in the theater with this one, it seemed 'turned down' for the near-field mix....too bad.Overall - 3.75 StarsRecommendation - Rent. This film has some 'rushed' effects, and many cheesy scenes. The introduction of other characters including Gambit is its only real plus.JSS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxmercy Posted November 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2012 X-Men:First Class:Level - 3 Stars (109.41dB composite)Extension - 5 Stars (1Hz)Dynamics - 4 Stars (25.06dB) Execution - 5 Stars - Save for a sonic boom that was way too boomy, this film is packed with more ULF goodness than nearly any here.Overall - 4.25 StarsRecommendation - Buy. This film is terrific. The fact that it is a ULF-happy film is just bonus.JSS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxmercy Posted November 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2012 Here are the Star Ratings so far (see first post): If you see all films ranked above 4 Stars, they all deserve it. I will keep the ranking system the way it is. JSS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bossobass Dave Posted November 23, 2012 Report Share Posted November 23, 2012 The gunshot in Ch 3 reminded me very much like the cannon shot in M&C (which we have to get up, DVD version). The movie surprised me because a) I hate vampire movies a s a rule and the premise is so ridiculous I never thought it could be pulled off. I liked the movie, the score is superb and the sound effects and mix are excellent. Not a crate of single digit but enough to add a great variance to the LFE and adding scary weight when required. Lots more in this one. I could have done at least a dozen scenes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxmercy Posted November 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2012 Should get this, WotW and WotT today! I'll put M&C in the queue (DVD). I wonder if someone could mux the DVD audio into the HiDef BD video? Same with Episode II..... JSS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djbluemax1 Posted November 24, 2012 Report Share Posted November 24, 2012 JSS, Actually rented The Fourth Kind to check it out. Not as much LFE as I thought aside from a few scenes. Nicely used to add atmosphere to it though. It appears that horror movie directors understand the concept of using LFE for mood/atmosphere. I've heard that The Woman In Black has decent LFE. I'll have to check that one out. Max P.S. Looking forward to the WOTW and WOTT graphs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxmercy Posted November 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2012 War of the Worlds:Level - 5 Stars (113.7dB composite)Extension - 5 Stars (1 Hz)Dynamics - 4 Stars (27.28dB)Execution - 5 Stars - This film is the ultimate bass film, with something for every subwoofer system.Overall - 4.75 StarsRecommendation: Buy. So many scenes have demo-level material.....you could make a whole thread with just this movie's scene caps.JSS 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
