nube Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Don Jon (5.1 DTS-HD MA) Level - 4 Stars (110.83dB composite)Extension - 2 Stars (22Hz)Dynamics - 5 Stars (31.47dB)Execution - 4 Stars (by poll) Overall - 3.75 StarsRecommendation - Rent (by poll) Notes: Don Jon really surprised me. Gary Rizzo did an excellent job with this mix, leaving very little on the table. The most prominent bass takes place in the club scenes - hence the peaks at 25, 36 and 46Hz - but it's really good. It's punchy and dynamic and generally used appropriately. The film makes great use of effects and surrounds to really envelop the listener, and uses the surrounds in every scene you'd expect it. This mix is better than a lot of big budget action flicks, to be honest. This isn't a typical romcom - your gf/wife prolly won't like it. I didn't care for the movie either, but the exceptional mix made it worthwhile. This mix reminds me a LOT of the quality and clarity of Scott Pilgrim vs. the World. Besides the high -10dB point, it's hard to find any fault with this mix. PvA: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
