Master and Commander first battle… when set up tight, you’ll feel you’re in the middle of the action from hearing the sails above you, feeling the cannon balls whiz by, and when the camera goes below deck, you hear every step and scream of crew above you. It was always my go-to demo since ProLogic II Z came out
Personal favorite of mine would be “DREDD” with Carl Urban…the whole film the sound design and score is spectacular from start to finish, but in particular the Scene in “Peach Tees” upper level when Lena Hedy’s Character “Mama” wields the Gatling gun is memorable to say the least. Not for everyone, metal heads only :)
My personal Top 5 would be
-Fury (2014) the AT Gun Battle, the Tiger Tank Scene, Last Stand Scene
-Saving Private Ryan - The Beach Landing Scene, The Sniper Duel Scene & the final battle
-Midway (the new one) - Pearl Harbor Attack & the Final Carrier Attack Scene
-Black Hawk Down - the Blackburn fast roping Insertion scene & Sgt. Pilla Humvee Scene
- Kong : Skull Island - Intro & Entering Skull Island Scene
My wishes for future 4K UHD & Atmos movie would be Mel Gibson"We Were Soldier (2002)" The movie is set during Vietnam War & as expected that movie has lots of Helicopter Scenes & "Broken Arrow Airstrikes" Scene which I think would be great if it has a Dolby Atmos Upgrade
Great list, here's some others to consider: Deepwater Horizon - Main Explosion Scene, Super 8 - The Train Crash Scene, Ready Player One - The Opening Race Scene, No Time To Die - The Car Shootout Scene, Gladiator - Opening Battle Scene.
Great sounds coming from these honorable mentions.
I'm setting up my Atmos system today and this is the first video that comes up on my feed
Coincidence?! 😄
Thumbs up for just including Scott Pilgrim vs the world!
SO GOOD! 😁
@@ealanosborne yeaah! One of the movies I try to watch every year 😁
My favorite is "Ready Player One" the opening scene speaks for itself.. Its just jam packed with nostalgia.
it was my go to till I watched the matrix remaster
One of the greatest demos i use is the beginning of the Overlord. When the those anti-aircraft cannons start to blast those planes and things start happening, there's really great subwoofer and Atmos tracks
Thanks for the recommendation! 🤘
Some of my favorites:
Midway - final battle
The new Batman - ch 9 batmobile reveal and chase
Star wars ep 1 - podrace scene
Aquaman - final battle (esp when Arthur returns with leviathan)
Podrace scene is UNBELIEVABLE, Ive watched two weeks ago, and god how amazing that is :O
Other notable mentions imo: Kong Skull Island: starting from the helicopters leaving the ship, as they go through the storm, seeing the island and the eventual fight with Kong. This is my absolute favorite demo. The entire movie of Interstellar is amazing and there are several scenes in Ready Player One that deserves a workout.
Very true. When I say Godzilla vs Kong, I secretly include all those movies - Godzilla, Godzilla King of the Monsters, Skull Island - they all did a great job with the massive scale of the titans 🤘
@@ealanosborne which speakers do you recommend. I bought alot of svs but not to impressed with the clarity of them for dialog.Not sure if you think it's the pioneer lx505. I have until August 18 to return them.
@@edwardwilson9195 SVS Prime or Ultra?
@@ealanosborne prime bookshelf and prime center and elevations speakers
@@edwardwilson9195 Hmm…I haven’t heard the Prime center in person, but can only imagine it does a good job since it’s 3-way with that mid driver. Maybe keep the Primes for everything else for now, but upgrade to the Ultra Center?
Otherwise, if the Lx505 allows for it, try boosting the EQ about 3 decibels around 2.5 kHz
Overlord, under water, dont breathe, and the beginning of saving private ryan are really good test movies
First 30 seconds of episode 4 of Edgerunners, incredible use of surround
Agree with you on Godzilla vs Kong and A Quiet Place Movies. Stellar Atmos mixes.
I also like to use Ready Player One, The Incredible Hulk(4K Remaster DTS:X), Oblivion, and even though it’s not an Atmos mix, TENET sounds AMAZING already on it’s own but even better when Upmixed.
Heck yeah! Well done man! Going to pick these up for my 4K!
6 underground’s intro chase scene is INSANE!
The entirety of Dune (2021) is a powerhouses of an audio demo. Great visuals as well.
I always use Topgun to test a sound system.
The depth charges set free by Django Fett in Star Wars Episode Two -Attack of the clones.
nice demos.
Gravity and silent place for atmos - yess!
Ready Player One race scene is good too
Overlord first 10 minutes, height channels very active.
Great selection. I also like to demo the first Jurassic Park T-Rex scene with the cars, vibrates the whole room starting when the water vibrates all the way when he throws the car down, it is simply incredible. Bohemian Rhapsody show scene, it sounds as you where there inside the Wembley. Aquaman also has great sound track. Almost forgot the race scene of Ready Player One.
My favorite too is T rex vs Velociraptor in visitor center Final scene.
Fantastic demos sir thank you so much . I really like the Jurassic Park moment with the T Rex and jeeps . The rain the roaring the crashing all fantastic
Edge of tomorow,black hawk down, midway, aquaman and mad max is my top for now
Saving private ryan is amazing as well
The 5th Element and Tron Legacy are my go to
The Heat Bank heist scene
Off the top of my head:
-'First Man' (2018), especially the Gemini launch scene.
-'Spider-man 2' (2004) for the PWUMP PWUMP PWUMP PWUMP fusion reactor startups.
-'Dune (2021)' the ornithopter sandstorm scene (the feeling of being inside the cockpit)
-'Punisher : War Zone' (2008) The moment where he clicks open his jaw to hear better, you hear the hidden gunmen in the left surround, then Frank actually looks in that direction.
-'Arrival' (2016) Pretty much the entire movie.
-'Wall-E' (2008) Scene in the robot repair bay when they escape (the slow-motion part)
Arrival is so good. Another Denis Villanueve masterpiece!
👋 I haven't seen many people mention Alita. Have you checked out this one yet? Sounds great on my 5.1.2
I have it! It definitely is an excellent mix. I’d probably put it in my top 10. 😄
@@ealanosborne Yeah I don't think anyone mentions it. Hey keep up the awesome work!!!
@@ealanosborne THANKS i'm gonna try it soon
Opening scene of LOTR The Two Towers is one of my Fav demo scenes of all time.
Thanks for putting in the effort😊
I still use "Ready Player One" for my testing (usually end up watching the entire movie after each adjustment of my room/ system🤪).
Once again Ithe Home Theater Gods have blessed me, I got the Gravity Diamond Luxe Edition for the price of 3 new 4K UHD Blu ray discs. I have to thank you because I never knew it existed until I viewed your top 5 videos.
Lucky! 🍀
Thank you! Now I finally have some more scenes to demo for people! I used to love showing the racing scene from Ready Player One before HBO Max got rid of it :(
Love the list! Need to make more of these videos!
Ready player one first race scene
13 hours - #1 on my system.
Ealan - try out Arrival, I believe the bass in that movie to be pretty bloody epic.
I’ll have to check out those movies. How about Tomorrow War Movie. Cris Pratt. Lots o action?
I’ve actually never seen it, but I know Spare Change reviewed it if you want a second opinion! 😁
I think the very beginning of skull island is pretty cool with the plane flying around but you can’t see it but only hear it. The Greatest Showman i like the very beginning and when the lady is singing on stage.
My current demo is from the latest James Bond, “No time to die”. The chase near the beginning when the guys are shooting at his car and the church bells are ringing overhead is really great stuff.
I keep hearing about that scene. I need to pick up that film when it goes on sale next. 😁
Most people know the films that make good demos but if we're listing scenes here are my go to, not so obvious, not all Atmos, five:
5. The first visit by the Llamnia in Sam Rami's Drag Me to Hell.
4. The Hoover Dam scene from San Andreas
3. The double Kaiju event in Pacific Rim
2. Underwater (pick a scene)
1. Mysterio's Illusion attack on Peter in Spider-Man: Far From Home
Honorable mention goes to the transport crash at the begining of Pitch Black.
Yes. Excellent scene list. I need to revisit Drag Me to Hell. I saw that in the theater and they had the audio cranked up to 11, so it gave me anxiety. I almost walked out because it was too loud for my taste, so I kind of have PTSD from that movie. 😄 But having control over the volume level means I need to watch it again. 🤘
Giant Terminators firing in Terminator Salvation.
If you enjoy horror… The Conjuring 3, opening scene gave me crazy chills with all the sounds you will experience.
Midway, that Pearl Harbor attack scene
Great List! Just been using Godzilla VS Kong to test the Samsung Q990B. Such a good scene for sound. Well Done Ealan 😁
Can’t wait for your review on that! 🎉
Great vids Ealan, I was wondering... Is there a difference in Atmos quality depending on the streaming device? I know physical media usually has the best audio, but I tried the same movie on an Nvidia shield and an apple tv... The apple tv was better. I wonder if there is a way to test that 🤔....
I haven’t tested all the steaming services or devices, but it does seem like my Apple TV has better 4K picture and Atmos audio quality than the Fire TV I had previously. But that would be a good test video…I’m putting it on the list! 😁
Blade runner final cut remaster 4k bluray scene where Harrison is eating noodles. Multiple overlapping sounds that really test the clarity of your heights.
🤣🤣
Both Blade Runners are tops!
Hi Ealan, you should definitely add the movie Ambulance to this list.
I most likely will once I see it! 😁
Mines is Gravity at 11:00 minutes it starts. Especially when the camera is inside Sandra's helmet and before that when she's twisting in space & George is yelling for her. Voices move from behind me to SR to SL to FL
an oldie but a still good, the opening titles to Terminator 2 Judgment Day, first film I heard on a home Cinema system on VHS in Dolby Pro-Logic, since then I've brought the film on Laserdisc, DVD, HD-DVD and Blu-ray. 🤔🤔☺️☺️
“DUN-DUN DUN DUH-DUN! DUN-DUN DUN DUH-DUN!” 😄🤘One of the most iconic drum beats!
See (Apple TV+ series) -THE WHOLE SERIES. Some of the best sound design I've heard in my entire life.
No Time To Die 4K UHD - Car Chase Scene at the beginning , Spectre Party Scene (Bond has a person talking in his ear. The scene audio is the middle channels and the person in his ear is in the ceiling channels. Amazing!)
Ready Player One 4K UHD - The Race Scene
Heat 4K UHD - Shootout Scene
Top Gun 4K UHD - All Of The Flight Scenes
All these Top 5 are titles that I own. I don’t own a lot of what you listed, so now I’m gonna have to pick those up too. THANKS! 😄🤘
Super sir
I'm sure that I'm not the first to mention Ready Player One. The early race scene
Great video!!!
Thanks!!!
You’re welcome!
All good choices, although I’m gonna have to give Scott pilgrim another watch as I watched it on TV a long time ago when it came out. I don’t remember what source. Thanks for the recommend.
Solid list. I would toss in:
1. Last Night In Soho. As you said, Edgar Wright is big on using sound in interesting ways, and he definitely does it here. The first 15 minutes or so will make you think they're not going to use Atmos at all... but once the first dream sequence happens, you actually hear the sound designer open up the soundstage into the heights and the city comes to life.
2. Doctor Sleep. IMHO, this one's the gold standard for how you do sound for horror movies, barely nudging out It: Chapter 1 & 2 (both of which are fantastic). Great use of heights for ambient sounds, some nice bass, and absolutely perfect sound design. The scene where Rose The Hat invades Abra's mind is demo-worthy. And it's a great sequel to The Shining. I wish every mix was this good.
3. Dune. Everyone else has said it, but it should be included on every list. Brutally aggressive use of the Atmos format beginning-to-end. And the bass in that Hans Zimmer score...
4. Ghostbusters: Afterlife. Not constant height use, but very well done when called for. If the opening scene doesn't make the audio geek in you smile, nothing will. I've used this one to demo my system a few times.
5. Edge Of Tomorrow. The new UHD release cuts that gnarly deep bass at the beginning that everyone loved on the Blu, but it makes up for it with aggressive Atmos for the remainder of the flick. Every action scene sounds a bit more intense because of it... and this one was already outstanding in 7.1.
I’m ashamed to say I haven’t even seen Last Night in Soho yet, since Edgar Wright is my fav director. I blame having young kids. Yeah, that’s it. 😄 I just picked up Edge of Tomorrow on UHD, so I’m excited! And I gotta own more horror, for sure. Sound is what makes horror terrifying. Great list, I’m gonna put these on my wish list to own for sure! 🤘
What about Batman dark night sound track
You mean Dark Knight.
Great picture and sound for just being a 5.1 surround sound mix.
@@David25522 I love sound track to Dark night
Batman Begins (Dolby True HD ) The Dark knight (Dolby True HD ) The Dark knight Rises (DTS Master Audio)
Is it possible for you to test the opening Ford vs Ferrari when Matt Damon is remembering the 24hr I wasn’t sure if there is any height sound to that or
If it is just me I.e is it worth getting height speaks for those sort movies?
Opening credits of Ford Vs Ferrari - oh man, if you’ve ever been to a race the announcer’s reverberating voice is spot on to the real thing.
I own that, so I need to revisit the opening credits! 🙌
Great video, Mother horror, for Atmos sounds fantastic
edge of tomorrow 4k blu-ray is a unreal dolby atmos soundtrack and hevay hitter LFE demo also
When Heat comes out on 4k soon the Los Angeles shutout scene should be epic.
I’m hoping for the same! 🤞
Hiyya!! you shared superb ,🔥
Ready Player One car race scene.
Ealan greetings from Germany, well Moonfall (killer LFE ATMOS mix) isn't on your list!
The bridge scene in the beginning of The Shadow. Alec Baldwin’s voice bounces around from speaker to speaker when he clouds the minds of the bad guys.
Question if I may: is there any loss of quality in either audio or video, in streaming movies via Disney+, Amazon Prime, Netflix, etc., vs. watching the movie via Blueray disk?
Yes. Streaming uses a compressed video and audio feed to be able to send the signal over long distances. Video anomalies will appear as banding when a picture has gradients involved, going from light to dark, instead of a smooth transition between color tones. Audio is also compressed, so the bandwidth of the audio stream is smaller. Netflix streams Atmos at about 800 Kbps, when a disc will be streaming upwards of 2-8 Mbps, depending on the scene.
@@ealanosborne which streaming device between apple 4K tv and Nvidia Shield will yield the best video/audio for streaming in a home theater?
@@JaredSchumaier I prefer AppleTV 4K just because I’m neck deep in the Apple ecosystem, so all my Apple products talk nicely to each other. But I’ve heard Nvidia Shield can handle different audio codecs better, or it’s at least more versatile in that regard. So if you’re not an Apple person, I’d probably go for the Shield. 🛡️🤘
Try the Incredible Hulk 2008 screen on the college campus shooting. About 47 minutes in the movie it’s a killer my 8.4.2
Try Ghostbusters afterlife
You know, more recently and one I’ve not heard mentioned is Vikings:Valhalla on Netflix. Just finished this series and thought it was great and had some really good low end, like 20-30hz range! A bit off topic but just throwing it out there.
Sweet! I’ll put it on my watch list!
Love the list! I just purchased both of the Jumanji‘s in 4K. I have a 5.2.4 system well calibrated. The first Jumanji in Dolby Atmos sounds amazing! They take good advantage of the top surround speakers but the second one is an IMAX Dash DTS Dash X and the mix is bad. They occasionally use the top four speakers and I just can’t get the dialogue to sound crisp. It’s such a drag. Great video!
There are 3 Jumanji films…
@@WellFedProductions very true, I bought the two latest ones welcome to the jungle and the next level. Welcome to the jungle is Atmos, next level is DTSX. I thought the mix didn’t take advantage of an Atmos layout as well as say the Jurassic Park series or the second Hellboy. Also the dialogue clarity is a little muddy, perhaps because they added extra bass for a full range system. Or maybe I’m just old😆
Hi Ealan, when is the Ioata vs Marantz video coming. Many thanks.
Early August! 🤘
@@ealanosborne Your the man. 👍
Waaaahh quiet place 2 your first reference scene… maaaaan I was so chilled, I drank my shake and then boooom, I split my whole mouthful over my clothes and Sofa, never forget this scene ever 🙈
U571, should be remastered
Hands down!!! Yes!! 🤘
How big of a difference is a digital soundtrack compared to a blu ray version?
I mean not a humongous difference, but enough for me personally to prefer it. Usually dialog is a bit weightier and slightly more oomph to it. Bass extension reaches down further and wider with all that much more audio bandwidth coursing through your cables. It’s more apparent with larger, more power hungry speakers, since they crave more bandwidth. 🤘
@@ealanosborne since my speakers aren’t the best should I just stick to steaming services for the moment and when I get better speakers would you recommend getting a blu ray player?
@@virginman1165 Absolutely. And the thing about “owning” digital movies is that you don’t truly own them. Having a physical copy (to me) is important. Especially when digital libraries are constantly changing on streaming platforms, so it’s rare for me to think, “Hey, I would love to watch [insert title] right now.” Only to find it’s not streaming anywhere. Although I’m old school like that. 😄
@@ealanosborne I don’t like having to many streaming services just to see the movies I want to watch, which blu ray player do u recommend overall and which blu ray player do you recommend under $500usd
@@virginman1165 Panasonic UB9000 overall. Under $500 Panasonic UB820. Even less, I currently use the LG UBK90 and it’s great for the price!
Atomic generation scene in Spider-Man 2
Edge of tomorrow
Knowing with N. Cage; airplane crash and subway crash.
Oooo, interesting! Thanks for the recommendation!

I REALLY ENJOY VISUAL AND AUDIO HIGH QUALITY MATERIAL. UNFORTUNATELLY THIS IS NOT ENOUGH FOR ME AS 70 % OF THE MOVIES ARE BAD AND KIND OF STUPID MADE MOVIES FOR CHIP ENTERTAINING. ALL THE MOVIES YOU METIONED ARE INFANTYLE AND BADLY PREPARED FOR A MORE MATURE AUDIENCE. YOU ASKED I ANSWERED ...
not a movie but hans zimmer live in prague is one of the best atmos demos going mind blowing use of all speakers
"U571" the depth charges scene and "Heat" leaving the bank shootout suppression fire with the police.
Transformers 2 - Devastator scene - DTS ... trust...
Great list. Mad Max is my favorite at the moment👍🙂
