... The whole of Gravity was CGI... They fact that you don't think it is shows you how well made the CGI was...

The sound design of Gravity also unit.

If you had notice, when in space, the only time you hear sound it when Sandra Bullock is in contact with something, because... In space there is not sound. We only hear sound through Sandra because of her suit (has it's own "atmosphere")...

Other movies you should look into are:

The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug (2013)
Captain Phillips (2013)
Life of Pi (2012)
Django Unchained (2012)
Skyfall (2012)
Transformers: Dark of the Moon (2011)
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (2011, Hollywood version)
Hugo (2011)
Unstoppable (2010)
True Grit (2010)
Tron: Legacy (2010)
Toy Story 3 (2010)

I also thought

Young Detective Dee: Rise of the Sea Dragon (2013)
The Four II (2013)

Had good sound design

Cheers

Frm the list, I will definately say "captain Phillips" the best! Specially the pirate boat chasing the Alabama, and the intense wave + the seawater spillage ! That's the best scene!

Urm...

Robocop (2014)
The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug (2013)
Captain Phillips (2013)
Life of Pi (2012)
Django Unchained (2012)
Skyfall (2012)
Transformers: Dark of the Moon (2011)
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (2011, Hollywood version)
Hugo (2011)

Hope this helps.

Yes yes yes in the making-of section clearly explain there should not be any audible sound frm the space but in this movie, director injected sound effect element in order to thrill everyone and thus---won 7 Oscar awards!

Somehow for 3D and sound effects, cartoon movies tend to standout rite? But I don't like 3D. Lucky so to speak!

Thanks for the suggestion, have watched most in that list but I will take a look at the ones I've not watched.

let me add to this good list with my fav list of movies in the last 2 yrs or so which i enjoyed most in dtshdma.

battleship
cloud atlas
elysium
fast and furious 6
fast 5
iron man 3
man of steel
marvels the avengers
oblivion
pacific rim
prometheus
star trek into the darkness
the dark knight rises
the hobbit an unexpected journey
world war z

M_v I think the AV side should be quite there already. The HT test disc which is the compilation of all top notch movies is quite adequate to load the AV system. But as for the HiFi, still very confuse with the defination of goood sound goood music! I think this defined me as an AV guy...

Just done "book of Eli". The scene where Eli and Solara were under attacked by Carnagie and the gang simply the best! More so this is the last movie Gary Oldman ever acted as a villain. A must to buy and keep for AV enthusiast!

Thought this movie reminds me of Mad Max, with all those deserts scenes and gloomy days, some more the entire film were not so rich in colors too...

Yayaya color sort of faded towards monotonous grey/brown! Wonder why the movie was made that way?

Just did "Robocop"! Err... Sound effect i would give a 6 out of 10! It does not emphasis much of the action sound effect! Didn't get them in the cinema, didn't quite so frm my HT. What u think?

very very good list

Summore to add,

Not necessary box office but ..

Riddick 2013 [ De first Riddick n Pitch Black aint too bad either ]
Despicable Me 2 [1st was fun too]
Elysium
Gravity
Iron Man 1 + 2
Transformers 1 + 2
Bollywoods Ghajini
Fantastic 4 1 + 2
Capt America
Hulk[Eric Bana's + Edward Nortons both kick ass]
Green Lantern
Spiderwick Chronicles
Golden Compass

At least, tis are on top of my mind - prbbly got more..

btw... whats the recommended internet speed for netflix streaming using homeplugs to unifi router?

Haha. I think vip 5 should be able streaming standard definition unless 1080p movies. Dang.

unifi vip5 can stream netflix 1080p lah..

Watched Frozen the other day....got Mandarin and Cantonese audio track also. Dunno what's so good about it....So so only. Still prefer true PIXARs production like UP and The Incredibles.

Just did BluRay "A Good Day To Die Harder". Well the track mention DTS True HD 7.1 but through out the movie never even heard any coming out from my rear speakers! The front and center mix also bad! Vocal is not centralized! The car chasing event after the BMW + Court explosion also flat! Do you guys experience the same or it is just me?
