What’s up everybody, Channa D here and we’re going to be checking out the DTS:X soundtrack from Lone Survivor, and we’re going to be getting into it right after the jump.
And I’m back. Now, before we get started with today’s video, I know some of you are like “hey Techno Dad! I can’t just be buying movies left and right, I don’t want to spend all this cash.” Well, you don’t really need to spend all this kind of cash. I did find a place that rents 4K Blu-rays and they do it kind of like a Netflix subscription deal. I have that as well. I think it’s store-3d-blurayrental.com or something like that. I’ll put the link in the description for sure. You guys should check it out. It’s like 20 bucks a month. For two, is it $25 for two? I forget, I haven’t been on the site for a while because I have a whole lot of other things going on.
Now, I’ve taken a look at some Dolby Atmos movies but this one here is DTS:X. Now. what’s the difference? Well, you still have your height channels or your ceiling channels, you still have your 5.1 or 7.1 surround sound system, and the one thing that DTS:X really kind of pushes or mentions is that the center channel sounds different like the dialogue is more pronounced and clearer than Dolby’s, whatever they use. So, to test this, I jacked up the volume. And let me tell you when you get into the gunfights around the one-hour mark, and all the way through, you will hear everything, you will NOT be disappointed! So, as far as the DTS:X height channels, there is great stuff going on in this movie. Now, I’ve already seen the movie so I already knew what happened, but this adding of the ceiling channels the DTS:X really just take this up another notch. Around the twenty-two minute and a half mark, there is a propeller, big cargo plane, propeller plane that comes through, flies over everybody and it shakes the house and you’d really just hear it ‘vrooooom’ go over you. It’s pretty awesome! Once you get into the actual gun fighting that they are doing starting around the one-hour mark, like just before that, 56 minutes or something, when they first engage, that’s when it all kind of shit starts and you’ll hear bullets whizzing by everywhere. Once the RPG’s start flying around, then it gets pretty nutty. And I’m going to tell you like I had a jacked up, the volume was up all the way. My Denon stopped at -1dB, I don’t know why it stopped there but man it was loud! I think I got past like eighty-something on the dB meter. Every time an RPG exploded, dirt, rocks, debris, whatever, was flying overhead, it felt like it was landing on top of me and you’re just engulfed in this action scene…you are just right there with them on that hill. They had to do a couple of tumbles, I don’t know if guys have seen the movie, and man like you’re just discombobulated so you hear like sounds coming from everywhere around you, it’s really nuts. Like I said, the RPG’s just kept coming down and ‘Pwuuush’ you know, you are just hearing stuffs flying around and I kept looking up and it was kind of cool. At the 1 hour and 22 mark, there’s a helicopter crash and explosion and that was just great. I mean it sucks in the movie for whoever is in the helicopter but for the DTS:X and the height channels and stuffs like that, man what a great disc! What a great disc this is! You guys should definitely check this out. I think I only got it for like 16 bucks, it’s the 4K version. I don’t know if the regular Blu-ray has DTS:X, I don’t know. You do get the regular Blu-ray and 4K Blu-ray and digital copies so if you guys have voodoo or ultraviolet or iTunes or whatever you can redeem it with that, really it does not much else to talk about, its great as an alternative to Dolby Atmos and this is a good disc to check out and if you want to put on demo, it’ll probably take longer than say like the Jupiter Ascending or it just has like five minutes of hard-core actions or it’s like using a lot of the height channels. This does but it’s a little bit subtler in that aspects where you can’t tell where the bullets are and that’s kind of cool if you can’t localize the sound. You know what I mean? Like you don’t know exactly where it’s coming from. That’s cool because there’s just a lot of stuff going on. It’s a great DTS:X demo so definitely pick this up.
And that’s pretty much of it for this review, once again, my name is Channa D and I’ll see you next time!
