War of The Worlds REVIEWED
*
thumbup.gif

Excerpts from avsofum on its review :

"Since its release on DVD War of the worlds has been considered by many to be the go to disc for its engaging surround sound mix that contains demonstrative low frequency effects that have dismantled lesser quality subwoofers at high sound pressure levels. I have eagerly anticipated its arrival on Blu-ray and the results are indeed spectacular. This soundtrack is demonstration quality and is sure to put a smile on the faces of those that have systems capable of reproducing it at reference levels. This recording has wide dynamic range and boasts superlative clarity and high level detail that is truly impressive. Front channel separation and imaging is excellent. This draws out both large and small sound elements and allows their directional correlation based upon the onscreen events to be definable. The mix makes effective and often aggressive use of the surround channels to elongate the front soundstage and reproduce the spatial and discrete sounds of this demanding soundtrack. The listening position is submerged into a 360 degree web of sound that is sometimes riveting as it bombards the senses with a combination of well placed sound effects and musical ambience.

The low frequency effects are applied authoritatively to underscore the bombastic and aggressive aspects of this soundtrack and it does so with aplomb. This mix delivers bass that is truly prodigious as it extends down into the 20 and 30hz regions as times. Its palpable presence is never in question as it fills the room with tight ultra refined bass that is appreciably superior and on occasion skin tingling. This is an involving and dynamically energized sound design that combines high level sonic detail, excellent directional correlation, and rhythmically charged bass. I would have preferred that the dialogue been mixed to a higher level within the front soundstage as it is overpowered during some of the active sequences. Other than that I had no problem with intelligibility. I also felt that there were times when the rear channels were too prominent which affected balance during panning sequences. These are relatively minor nits to pick in an otherwise fantastic audio presentation. "

Only 20 - 30 Hz? That's not particularly deep.

Someone needs to do a waterfall graph to check how deep it really goes.

Another catch up title review. I am unlike some people who are up to date with the current releases. Still hv quite a few older titles not watched yet. More than a few actually.

Movie : Burn After Reading
Typical dark comedy. Some stellar acting. Clooney's character is well played, McDormand is darn good, Pitt is well, Pitt. Malkovich is very convincing. Fun movie to watch, with weird twists and large cast. Pokes fun at the intelligence agency of the states. Slightly slow in parts, but enuf to keep u grossed.

PQ :
Good, not reference material, but strong details. Some yellowish hues, directorial intent, I believe. Colours not vibrant but also intended. Good transfer.

AQ :
Dialogue heavy, so that shd say it all. Surrounds and sub used sparsely, just for dramatic moments. Centre channel is well defined, clear as it has to be since it is heavy talking.

I enjoyed the movie. Quick 1 1/2hrs. Decent way to kill the time.

as i said, i placed the order and in amazon show dispatced. i checked my cc, already being bill on 18/may/2010.
i cannot cancel this item as the option is not there after 1 day.
so i believe the Dispatched was referring to "Shipping" via royal mail.

Best case, u shd receive it within 5days, typical 7-12days (including weekends). 7 is when I receive most of the stuff from Amazon UK. The expected delivery date, is well, expected. If it does not arrive by that time, then u send out a mail to them, and they will ask u to wait some more b4 the process a replacement.

But as I said, most of the time it comes within 7-12days if u r in West Malaysia. Most of those from East Malaysia normally takes slightly longer.
