Stalingrad (5.1 DTS-HD MA)


Level        - 5 Stars (112.82dB composite)
Extension - 3 Stars (19Hz)
Dynamics - 5 Stars (28.39dB)

Execution - 3 Stars (by poll)

 

Overall     - 4 Stars

Recommendation - Rent (by poll)

 

Notes:  Near constant DC noise, quite filtered below 30Hz, with some real content below 20Hz drowned out by the tons of big hits from 25-40Hz.  I measured the English-dubbed track.

Could someone please give me some details about the movie so i can do a more thorough search ???

Thanks

Man, I'm glad you posted this, I was going to get the extended edition to get some bass, I would have been so PISSED to be burned twice! This is inexcusable.  I stopped the first Hobbit movie twice to check the sub and cabling, I really thought something was amiss with my system especially because the rest of the sound seemed pretty good.

Its amazing how many times I think somethings not quite right when watching a movie for the first time. Almost every time it's just the movie but to be sure I have to whack in some known content to confirm everythings A ok.

I looked but maybe I missed it.  Is Aliens BR on here anyplace.  Some parts seem to have a bit of some bass, probably not that much but the ending seemed really weak.  I was wondering if anybody has looked at this.  I have the extended version which is a better movie overall in my mind.  But I don't have any time stamps.  I was just wondering if anybody has done that movie. 

Thanks
