nube Posted May 23, 2014 Report Share Posted May 23, 2014 Bee Movie (5.1 TrueHD) Level - 2 Stars (106.54dB composite)Extension - 4 Stars (14Hz)Dynamics - 5 Stars (36.28dB!!!) Execution - 4 Stars (by poll) Overall - 3.75 StarsRecommendation - Buy (by poll) Notes: Holy guacamole, look at those dynamics!!! I'm a big fan of this one. Though it is generally low level - I had to run it +7 above normal to get the dialog the right level - it packs a punch 20Hz and above, and the bass scenes sound HUGE. Since we're talking about miniature, bee-sized stuff, I didn't need the sub 20Hz content to get immersed. Often, the bass comes completely out of nowhere and just wallops you, like in the tennis balls scene, or in the Honex factory. I'm a sucker for animated comedies, and it doesn't hurt that this one has completely appropriate bass. PvA: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huge 10Hz hits, and lots of < 20Hz stuff besides. The movie has a bunch of bass content, and it's not a terrible movie, either. PvA: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kool-aid23 Posted May 24, 2014 Report Share Posted May 24, 2014 Question? A gentleman commented that the Australian blu ray of Master and Commander does not have the high pass filter. Can anyone confirm or disprove this? Regards, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lfe man Posted May 25, 2014 Report Share Posted May 25, 2014 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 I believe this is not strictly taken from blu-ray, but gives idea of extension. http://i55.tinypic.com/2wf0htd.jpg Question? A gentleman commented that the Australian blu ray of Master and Commander does not have the high pass filter. Can anyone confirm or disprove this? Regards, Look like its same as scandinavian blu-ray(i own it), what have that same 25hz filter as us blu-ray. There is also 2011 re-released us blu-ray, any idea how bass is in that version? http://www.dvdcompare.net/comparisons/film.php?fid=12845 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nube Posted May 28, 2014 Report Share Posted May 28, 2014 Also remeasured Gamer (jumped from a 4 to 4.5) and LOTR:TTT Ext (jumped from a 3 to 3.75). I have all the Resident Evils, Rise of the Planet of the Apes, Colombiana, Unstoppable, The International, and Devil's Due measured. I'll be posting those in the coming week. Not many great upcoming releases to speak of besides Lone Survivor and Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit - both have very solid numbers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tuxedocivic Posted May 28, 2014 Report Share Posted May 28, 2014 Not many great upcoming releases to speak of besides Lone Survivor and Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit - both have very solid numbers. Yes, the upcoming releases look pitiful. However both those have me very interested. I'm hoping for good bass from these along with good reviews, because I'd like to finally be able to buy a movie. It's been months. I've become exceptionally picky about what I buy. If the studios want my money they need to stop screwing around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grantisgrant Posted May 29, 2014 Report Share Posted May 29, 2014 That makes sense about Pain and Gain. It was a lot of midbass for my 23 Hz sub, and it was mostly from music it seemed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
