nube Posted June 13, 2014 Report Share Posted June 13, 2014 Resident Evil: Retribution (5.1 DTS-HD MA) Level - 4 Stars (112.46dB composite)Extension - 5 Stars (1Hz)Dynamics - 3 Stars (24.77dB) Execution - 4 Stars (by poll) Overall - 4 StarsRecommendation - Rent (by poll) Notes: Deep content near DC from the beginning. Most of the hot content is around 18Hz, but there's plenty below that, too. Completely over-the-top bass in every scene, resulting in low dynamics.

gdffgdfgd Posted June 13, 2014 Report Share Posted June 13, 2014 I know I already suggested it, but I really think you should measure Slumdog Millionaire, there was a surprising amount of low bass in there. Especially a chopper scene at the beginning was crazy: Another scene later in the movie: Lots of the bass comes from the score, there was a scene about an hour into the movie which had some loud 30Hz hits from music. As for Trance (which I mentioned earlier too), it seems like this doesn't go as low as I thought. Skipped through the movie and could only find scenes with loud 30Hz but nothing below that, although there may be scenes that go lower (been a while since I watched it). I definitely liked the way bass was used (and the soundtrack overall), but it sounded like there was some clipping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nube Posted June 13, 2014 Report Share Posted June 13, 2014 They're in the queue (see the Google Docs for requests) but I haven't gotten them from Netflix yet. Lots to go through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gdffgdfgd Posted June 13, 2014 Report Share Posted June 13, 2014 Well, thats quite a list and while we're at it you might want to add Insidious (the first one) to that list too. Also, I made some graphs for Battlefield 4 some days ago and can post them if you want (maybe in a new thread?). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lfe man Posted June 13, 2014 Report Share Posted June 13, 2014 +1 to slumdog millionaire, chopper scene is nuts. 127 hours have some pretty good scenes too(accident scene ). Thanks nube for resident evil films. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aj72 Posted June 14, 2014 Report Share Posted June 14, 2014 Well this is now officially my go to thread (I think it was anyway) given the changes over on the other forum. Much more user friendly IMO. Avatar tonight took me a while to get to this and I thought the movie wasn't bad but felt they missed a bit of an opportunity with the bass in that film. Could've been insane in some scenes but didn't deliver enough to match the action. There was some good stuff in there but at times you didn't expect it. A punch delivered more than an explosion? I didn't run the subs as hot as usual but still felt it missed an opportunity to be a five star monster. Great sound mix overall though? Also revisited OZ. A very underrated score. Some great bass scenes in that film. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomC1315 Posted June 15, 2014 Report Share Posted June 15, 2014 Just watched "Finding Nemo" last evening ... fun movie with pleasant LFE and a good overall soundtrack throughout - and then the 'Darla tapping on the fish tank scene !!! Her twelve taps on the tank sounded incredible !!! It comes with about 20 minutes to go in the movie and is at the beginning of Chapter 25, very convenient for replay. In fact, I'm about to open up the return Netflix envelope for another listen before sending it back tomorrow. Again, the sound was incredible and my SVS PC12+ managed the proceeding wonderfully :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MemX Posted June 16, 2014 Report Share Posted June 16, 2014 I've just had a search here and also on AVS as I swore Iron Sky had been measured (or at least mentioned) before, but seemingly not... Could we add it to the google docs list, please? My feeling is that it's filtered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nube Posted June 16, 2014 Report Share Posted June 16, 2014 I've never even heard of it, but I'll add it to the list. In the future, there's probably no reason to add movies that have been really disappointing for bass. If they don't rate for you, the probably don't rate for us. I mean, we could start adding movies made before 1980, and lots of romcoms, but what's the point? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MemX Posted June 16, 2014 Report Share Posted June 16, 2014 I take your point lol There was definitely bass, but it's just hard to know if I'm missing anything as my SVS is 16Hz tune and that would mean I would miss all the 6Hz stuff on Lone Survivor, for example!

nube Posted June 17, 2014 Report Share Posted June 17, 2014 The Lego Movie (5.1 DTS-HD MA) Level - 3 Stars (108.44dB composite)Extension - 3 Stars (18Hz)Dynamics - 5 Stars (28.71dB) Execution - 3 Stars (by poll) Overall - 3.5 StarsRecommendation - Rent (by poll) Notes: Nothing in this one's sound design really stood out as a glaring weakness, which probably means it was pretty decent. The bass never presented as exemplary, but neither was it terribly lacking aside from the complete removal of anything in the bottom octaves. I found the movie to be less awesome than the main song would have you think, but still watchable. PvA: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aj72 Posted June 18, 2014 Report Share Posted June 18, 2014 Perfect one for the Caps! Already seen it in the movies and liked the film but went with my son and didn't expect to like it. Low expectations = Pleasant Surprise. Hard to tell at the time but bass seemed pretty good. I guess the figures show it to be the perfect theatre mix? Maybe even a touch lower?

It's hard to say exactly what version this was besides it being 2D, since it was from Netflix, but it had the Plain Jane disc printing. At least it was 7.1.

Figures, as it's essentially brick-wall filtered at 30Hz. Lots of bass up there, though. For S&G's, here's the link to my previous comments about this film @ AVS.

grantisgrant Posted June 20, 2014 Report Share Posted June 20, 2014 Can you do a couple of waterfalls from Oblivion? Specifically I'd like to see the rig explosion at around 28 minutes, the drone battle in the bunker at around 1:30, and the final explosion at around 1:45. I'm not sure of those timestamps as I am not home, but if you see this before I update them, I would like to see those. Edit: scratch that, somehow I completely missed the Oblivion post and assumed everything in the Oblivion thread would be what you have. Thanks!
