Films (Almost Entirely Surround)

Trailer looked good! Hope it's a fun watch.

LOVED Baby Driver, Wright's last flick which even upscaled looked fabulous in UHD4K.

BTW, did you happen to LOG IN to the LOG LADY'S website .... LOL!

Does David Lynch have a wooden leg? LOL ... that's the point!

The thread about the different surround mixes of The Who Tommy sent me down a rabbit hole.
Saw the 1975 Ken Russel film extravaganza when it came out with the future mrs wave.
Hadn't caught more than snatches on TV since then.
Recalled the cameos by Clapton, Elton, Tina, Ringo, et al.
Forgot there's not a moment in the whole 110 minutes where the soundtrack is not playing.
Not a word of dialog is spoken, everything is sung.

Originally released in glorious new quintophonic surround.
Got the steel book blu ray for $2.50 more than the plastic case.
Amazon.com

Watched this last night in Native UHD4K ... The extended Zack Synder DIRECTOR'S CUT with 30 minutes added in both IMAX and 2:35.1 aspect ratios with a stunning Dolby Atmos soundtrack and more accurate color temperature over the previous UHD4K release. Running time 3'2". IMO, superior to the theatrical cut and definitely better than Warner's original UHD4K version! Currently only $10.99 @ AmazonUS.

I first saw this on TV in 1984. I bought the Region 4 DVD which was pan and scan and stereo only in 2002. Then I bought the Region 1 DVD which was widescreen and had the 'quintaphonic' soundtrack in 2006. Finally, I bought the blu-ray in 2011. Oh, and I have the mobile fidelity cd of the album, the SACD, DVD-A and blu ray of the original album too. I guess I must be a big Tommy fan.

Good to hear! I remember the BD I rented from the local store (R.I.P. United Video) having a particularly active surround mix. I never understood all the flack this movie got. I found it no better or worse than most superhero movies. They're all very average and none of them are Gone With the Wind. Before I spin one up; brain off, volume up!

This is actually a rather morose humorless flick with the two super heroes in mortal combat with each other but the added 30 minutes did add more context to the story and as always, the CGI was brilliant as was the sound design....although, and not to sound cruel, Amy Adams was a bit too old as Lois Lane to play Henry Cavill as Superman's love interest. There is a nine year age difference .......or in Hollywood terms ... an ETERNITY [LOL]

And to approximate the CINERAMA Experience, Gene, it will include what Warner's calls a SMILEBOX edition which will look something like this:
