Dolby Atmos is available at GSC 1 Utama hall 3 right?

Hmm now I'm torn between watching it on Dolby Atmos at GSC or HFR 3D at TGV

Dolby Atmos's additional overhead speaker make the surround effect much more seamless & natural thumbup.gif

Haha I was in the same hall as you just now. 

Maybe they were calibrating the Atmos during those 30 minutes and when that guy with the walkie talkie informed the projector people they decided to go ahead without the Atmos  doh.gif The surround sound effects that we got was pretty normal, IMAX TGV 1U is miles better.

Agree with you, they have plenty of time to do it, the show starts at 12.00, why must do it at last minute.

Any one else catching the movie at GSC Atmos later? Make sure to give us your feedback.

Did they show the Atmos demo clips before the movie start ?

Nope they didn't, that's another reason why I think we were just hearing regular surround sound instead of Atmos.

During the 30 minutes before the movie started they were showing the opening of the movie, again and again, sometimes it's 3d, sometimes it's 2d, sometimes it's just a distorted version. Then they showed some movie trailer with Ben Stiller, but even that also got problem and they didn't finished showing the trailer  laugh.gif

But I did saw those overheads speakers on the roof just like in that Atmos video. But not sure if it was used or not during my screening.

damn... I already booked the ticket for tonight 9.45, hope they will fix the problem by then doh.gif

base on my last experience with Dolby Atmos, I watch Oblivion in Vietnam, the different with other normal theatre is not that obvious, but if u listen carefully, the surround effect much more seamless & sound positioning is more accurate & natural, so if anyone who expect extra Boom Boom Bang on LFE might find it disappointed, but for my personal preference I prefer Atmos then IMAX sound system, for me IMAX sound too loud & too harsh.

anyway, will see how it ends tonight tongue.gif

Lets get somethings out of the way.

The movie was slightly uneven. There were great parts (The river scene, the exchange between Bilbo and Smaug) and then there were very hammy cheesy ones. The weakest link however, proved to be Thorin himself. He's not the wise nor fearless leader that we all knew from the first movie. he's a little more conflicted this time around. And I hate to say this, but suddenly looking out of place.

Ah the Atmos Experience.

You know what's funny? I thought I was greeted with the Dolby Atmos demo, but NO. It had to be... THE THX DEMO. Which I thought was very awkward and funny.

And then came the demo.

For the first time.......

I was watching the Atmos version too last night, luckily they already fix the problem, Dolby Atmos is simply amazing, the surround effect fill up the theatre with extra punch, it actually make u less aware the existence of surround speaker around ( & above) you, bcoz it's so damn seamless. Definitely worth the extra money to experience it.

the Atmos intro clips before the show really a good demo for showcase the accurate positioning of the system :



BTW. why the spider & Smaug talk like Gollum ? biggrin.gif

You know what?

The price for 2D Atmos at One Utama is RM 14. But the 2D (Only) at MidValley is RM 15. laugh.gif

btw, which row bro? laugh.gif

I seat in the middle center, best position to enjoy surround sound biggrin.gif I watch 3D version so it's RM 19.

This is also the first time I watch HFR in cinema, surprisingly I find it nothing special, bcoz when I watch 3D bluray at home I always switch on the motion flow function on my TV, it have the same smoothness effect tongue.gif
