Hi... since there's been a lot of subwoofer upgrades lately, I thought we should follow up with a list of movies that will give these subwoofers an excercise and shake things up a bit, maybe with a thundering thump or two

I'll start it off since I'm halfway through a movie now :

Knowing (Nicholas Cage) - Great bass scene at the airplane crash which then exploded a couple of times on the ground. Solid explosions there

Pls share your experiences (stating movie title & specific scenes) so we can satisfy our LFE addiction

My Akira BD will be here today....will test kaw kaw for u guys...

For Movies:
1. U571
Is a must to have... the submarine under the sea blast. Your 5.1 and 7.1 attack from every corner. you are in the submarine........ Now I only got a DVD. Later when I got my bluray... this is a must in my collection of super blast every corner....

WARNING: People might think it is an earth quake...so..... take care of your neighbours.

2.The Day After Tomorrow.

3. Independence Day.

For Concert:
1. Sting ( All this time)
This is the concert performed on 911 day. Very nice documentary and lots of double bass. Honesly my sub cant handle this. It doesnt sound smooth. My guess is the nature of the double bass. More natural than electric bass.

2. Norah Jones ( Live in new orleans)

3. Michael Buble concert. Nice

I love the following for the good BOOOOMING effect!

Transformer ( Heli transformed, desert shooting plus some other sexiting part )
Outlander ( starting part when the spaceship cashed )
U 571 ( sub under deep charged )

Plus some other tracks in DTS Demo 1 & 2..

1.U-571 - scene @ american submarine kena blast during they transfer.
2.The Incredible Hulk 2008 - scene @ factory during bruce transform into hulk.Roaring was veri great for LFE channel.
3.Dark Knight - scene @ attempt robbery whereby joker remove his mask,the dialoque was fully deep low bass.

will feel kaw kaw oso, right?

Wall-E, when the space ship lands

I like the THX part at the beginning of the Indiana Jones 4.

Can only see this THX in this movie so far.
Any other movies featuring this THX intro clip?

Yep,T2 Skynet Edition but different clip of THX.

a bit tempted to get this BD just for the THX intro but..... really really didn't enjoy the movie

The sound for the whole movie was 'oldish' like those previous 3 chapters.
But the THX intro part was stunningly good.

Master and Commander is also good.
I mean the scene where the battle between two ships using cannons.

This post has been edited by car_o_scope: Oct 6 2009, 11:57 AM

Cant buy or download the THX starting clip meh?

Is this similar to the 1 at Htkaki's event that we demo the other day? Got butterfly flying around..

I don't think you can buy THX clip

can download from www.demo-world.eu but i still havent figured how to put it onto my bluray player

Yes. That's the one.

This movie only good to watch during battle scene but the rest put me into zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

coz english no good can't understand the story ??

blues brothers movie...good bluesy basslines there

Burn on BD

If you got no BD burner, go SonyStyle, they got BD burning services

The Great Raid.

The last part of the movie during the raid of the POW camp.

Yeah, I totally forgotten about this movie. Will try it again wtih my Ultra under 'sealed' setting

its avhcd format la, they can burn this also ah? u know which SonyStyle offer these services?

1.) Terminator 2=starting intro....through out the film
2.)Aliens=Vasquez and Drake fire power-modified german mg 42. Sulaco dropship to planet LV-42,and best of all,the final battle where ripley equipt herself with a "forklift" suit coming out to face the alien queen,best of the best.

3.)appleseed-starting in gun fight with tank
4.)ipman-fighting scene with background music
5.)jurassic park and king kong.
6.)Matrix revolutions-infantry armies of APU defending ZION on docks,waiting to fight massive horde of Sentinels,thumbs up.

last but not least,bollywood hindi or tamil film,flying punch slapping or kick with "extra" bass.

Die Hard 4.0 - The bad guys were trying to shoot the kid when he wanna run away from the cop through windows, the bad guys came to the house and the shooting scenes began, the bomb triggered (satisfying moment hearing the exploding sounds )

Terminator 3 - Arnorld shot the bad terminator using a bazooka from a car, hit the bad terminator hand, and she was thrown away backward, hit the cemetery bricks. Realistic exploding sound.

Ice Age 3.....anything MamaRex and Rudy..

The Haunting(DVD) - A must have movies for those who want to work out their sub. Really deep bass. Scene: coming mother (forgot which chapter).

Hulk - sub sonic weapon

Body of lies - scene where Dicaprio charge into a small hut until 2 heli attack those iragi.Dialoque was superb deep low kawkaw(i mean kopi O kaw kaw).

I'll add Sunshine to this, any scenes with external shots of the Icarus II.

Hi,

I add :

1. Dragonball Evolution bd : many scenes which bottomed out my Pb12+
(sori cant remember exactly which scenes liao)

2. Slumdog Millionaire bd : kids playin cricket ; amitabh heli passin overhead ; final bollywood no..

3. Benjamin Button bd : scene where BB was on board tugboat n came acrs u boat..

4. Dragon Hunters bd : scenes with world gobbler ..

And I ll add a pretty insignificant animated flick in SD called

TITAN AE.. fantastic bass scenes wif rocket blasts and planets explosion..

Cheers
D

Is TITAN AE release in Blu Ray ?

That shud be the DVD versi ...

Pls read carefully the statement again.It is DVD lol.

Die Hard 4 : Additional scenes

1. Tunnel scene when the car flips and heads towards bruce willis and the kid. I believe that scene has LFE that goes down below 10Hz and its loud.

2. The scene where the gas explosion is blowing thru the manholes...

Wow.... maybe I'll try it with the PB13-Ultra at 10Hz setting.

great lists we have so far.. looks like i need to get all these BDs

let me know, I pass my susah mati BD to you..

"Shooter" starring by Mark Wahlberg

During the opening scene when the helicopter shooting Mark Wahlberg and his team-mate

tried master & commander... was ok only i thought

but ratatouile was excellent
At the beginning, the shotgun scene (very tight) & when Remy falls down the waterfall like sewers (very deep, shakes house)

Transformer - many scene lots of LFE.

"f***ing Irene" helicopter scene from Black Hawk Down still the ultimate...
Chopper blades at an ultra loud 7hZ!!!

Same here. It underwhelmed me also.

I had to adjust the sub trim another +3 dB for it to be better. Maybe the bass recording level is lower than usual?

u2? maybe coz our sealed subs not powerful enuff?

Yours should have no problems with power...

Yup,

Titan AE is in SD dvd format but its dts track is recommended to test out ur subs..
Its quite hard to track tis ttl dwn nowadays..

Regards
D

Fuyoo..... look who is talking now

I'll try my puny 13-Ultra (need to use these words when talking to Elite Ron ) at 10Hz setting for Master & Commander. Just shifted it back to its position. Now, laying comfy on Auralex Gramma. Have to do all the setting again

Transformer ( Scorponox Scene )

The Punisher (War Zone). The gun battle scenes really rock everything. Lots of LFE material for you all to enjoy.

like a Steven Seagal rough and tough kinda movie but with very little hand combat mostly all gun and fire power.

1. AWESOMELY DEEP BASS Tested with 15Hz setting. The pressure built up in the room is immense. IMHO, better than the Ironhide scene in Transformers. Tmw, will be testing it with 10Hz.

2. Very good but nothing near tunnel scene.

Another notable punchy and deep bass is Valkyrie' scene 2. The gunshot is tight and powerful with the earthshaking explosion

That's one thing about the PB13 Ultra, it sure can build up the pressure. Say, do bring Die Hard 4 when u come to Ipoh.

and pressurize the whole house of his

Might bring my AS-EQ1. Still waiting for his reply on FR graph. Probably he is busy watching movies

I am running my sub at 75dB now. There isn't a need to run it hot for my room. It's easy for you to imagine it since you had auditioned it in a living hall.

Yeah, in your dedicated HT room (without openings) I think 75dB would be right for that monster sub. Although running it a bit hot would also be a blast!

Yes, it would be but that would be immensely powerful if to run hot at +3dB. I tried at +1dB yesterday, one word says it all 'Jaw-dropping'.

I wonder at what level is arj setting it now

This post has been edited by htkaki: Oct 11 2009, 10:29 AM

hehe... I'm at 11 o'clock gain, -2 on the AVR

U definitely have it on loud! No wonder your door is shaking...

This going to happen to his door

I am not sure what will happen to my house with all those bass, but i do notice that the down light just above my PC12+ is burnt twice already. What i can see when there is heavy bass moment, the down light above the sub would vibrate up and down a lot. I also see some white powder on the floor which i believe could come from the ceiling board.

When play moderately loud, the ceiling board at the back of my house and the windows and furniture in the bedroom on the second floor will vibrate too.

Simple.

Buy new house

I bet it aint the door only that 'tremble'

Ultra is a monster sub . It brings a whole new dimension of movie watching in my room. Then again, you need to have SPACE for this beast to be unleashed. If you have that, I bet your grin is as wide as the horizon

T2 SkyNet Edition :

1.Opening THX theme.
2.During shotgun scene at basement.
3.During Arnie ride the bike into basement.

Haven't watch finish yet.PQ was very clean.

Rewatched T2 skynet edition... FANTASTIC!!

the sound of the harley makes u feel like ur on it

Vrrroooomm

Just received my U-571... the scenes where the sub under attack by splasher bombs from the destroyer

Definitely must have for sub workout

I think if i play this movie at night sure kena complain teruk teruk liao

how long hang at the connecting to skynet menu?

no hanging at all with bdlive off using ps3 but real good PQ & AQ & bass for such a classic

Not complaint but security will knock yr door.

if didn't connect internet leh?

Mine didn't connect intenet aslo.Able to watch this T2 Skynet Edition as go through features at main menu,no problem so far.

I know it's still able to play if dun connect, just wondering between players, it takes how long before it give up and play the movie..

Too long!

And it has one of the worst menu in terms of lag. Switching between options (tabs) is unbearable, not to mention unforgiveable!

PS3 still the best for fast loading compare to stand alone player.

must have thought the disc was a dud the first time playing?

??? no such issues on ps3 leh.. played like a charm

You got that right! Esp with the feedback on the net about needing to go online in order to play the movie ...

some unit above and below my apartment having some renovations. So, if you cant beat them,... join them.

I play U571 and blast it so loud until I cant hear their drilling whuaaa ha ha ha ha

Two issues here:-

1) Loading time - longer than the usual, plus will 'laugh' at you first coz u are not connected to the net.
2) Nagivating the menus is like moving a barge!

Hows menu navigation on the PS3?

no problemo on ps3
