“Accurate timing: at 53:56 Ving says he needs 30 more seconds. 23 seconds later at 54:19 he says 6 more seconds. At 54:19 he says uploading.

 I had the on screen Oppo clock running so according to my checking, Ving was accurate to the second till the end when he uploaded at 5 seconds or 1 second too soon. You can run it and see if you agree.

🍿 Movies & Scenes of the Week

 
Terminator Genisys

Paul Stewart 1 hr 20ish Yellow bus on bridge scene- loud chase scene but a Terminator lands on the roof of the bus and the height channels are used to give the effect of something walking on the metal bus roof above you, you can feel the metal denting as something walks on it. Reminded me a lot of A Quiet Place. The bus then crashes and rolls over several times combining great Atmos and deep bass 1 hr 40ish Punching with magnets- Arnie is fighting a new style Terminator but for reasons that are explained in the film he has magnets on his hands. Each time he connects with a punch the bass sinks to seismic levels makes me want a SVS SB1000 Pro now!

News of the World NetflixJT on Twitter“@BrightSideHT Hi DJ - just watched News of the World on Netflix. Decent enough film but thought the Atmos was amazing. The sound during the dust storm scene was out of this world even on my relatively puny 7.1 system in my lounge! In a dedicated theatre it would be even better!!!”

XXX The Return of Xander CagePaul Stewart email“Another outstanding soundtrack, my god every speaker is used literally all the time! Music is directed to the heights when affects aren’t whizzing about, highly recommended.”

A lot of fun and exciting stuff in this weeks Podcast!  DJ has some new and exciting Bright Side Home Theater news.  He goes on a little bit of a rant.  He points out a contradiction that is actually 100% accurate. And of course DJ breaks down the latest giant monster movie in our countdown to Godzilla vs Kong.

This week DJ sits down again with Ara Derderian of the HTguys Podcast.  Ara and DJ comment on the listener questions and comments as well as talk about this weeks Featured Theater the Collins Starlight Theater.  Then they just have a fun time hanging out and discussing some of the important Home Theater questions we all have...  Do you need to calibrate your TV?  Do you need to calibrate your speakers?  If so, why?  Should it be done professionally?  Why and why not?  Do we need 8K over 4K?  What is more important, 4K or HDR?  Why did we open the car door for our wives/girlfriends?  All of that and more and believe it or not all you need to do is Push Play...

Space Sweepers Netflix

wvbrew on Twitter“@BrightSideHT OMG I HAVE ONLY WATCHED 12 minutes of this. This film is most agressive atmos use ever you want discrete sound effects there are more in 12 min of ghis movie than if you took 10 great atmos movies like Gravity and watched all 10 in full. Cheap movie amazing sound!”
Tron Legacy 

Graham Cole Twitter“@BrightSideHT  Tron Legacy 29:25 at loud volume , elevator ride going up into the arena. With a loud cheering crowd it felt like a vertical 360° pan but this is all in my brain. Great bass, lots of nostalgic Tron sounds.”
Our Planet documentary on Netflix

Paul Stewart “It is in Atmos but the picture is beautiful especially the “water” episode. When the kingfisher dives into the water it is reference quality”
