a bit misleading
9.4 audio score out of 10DTS:X
The movie is spectacular from an audio persepective. The surround sound and effects are rivalled by no movie, during the initial shootout in the mountains. The supressors and AK's sounded like pure bliss, even at -10 from reference. Occasionally i will listen to that scene at reference; and the impact of the gunshots is out of this world. If you do have transducers, there is a scene stands out as bookmark for any demo you can show your friends and family. The intial frogman speech to the drop, has the hardest hitting 7hz frequency bass, and it extends for long enough for you to realize that if you don't have Crowsons, or a sub that can play that low; you will begin chasing that rabbit, and for that I am sorry. HTe bas score I gave, doesn't match the movie's gripping hold it has on you. There jsut isn't enough of it to match the giants of the some of the other bass heavy films.
Mountain ambush rendered with vertical detail
9.4 audio score out of 10DTS:X
- Ridge-line firefight routes incoming rounds through specific surround positions with audible bullet-snap pre-pass - Cliff-fall sequence loads body-impact thuds into the sub at multiple frequency bands as each tree branch breaks - Helicopter rescue arrival drops rotor pulse into the heights with sustained vertical travel for the full approach
