#Quality sound reference movie#

The characters are paper thin and there's not enough of Godzilla but the picture and sound on the Blu-ray are awesome with some of the deepest bass you'll ever experience at home.Ĭhristopher Nolan's attempt at a realistic sci-fi movie is full of ambitious film-making and big ideas but somehow it fails to deliver a sense of wonder. The idea of a serious film about a three-hundred foot monster that breathes fire is ridiculous but somehow Edwards makes it all plausible thanks to some exciting set pieces. It might have seemed like both a gimmick and a huge risk to hand this mega-budget reboot to the director of the micro-budget Monsters but Gareth Edwards knocks it out of the park and gets a Star Wars gig in the process. However it's his latest film that makes the list with a pristine image and sound that perfectly capture the tone of Fincher's mystery thriller and will show your system off at its best. Fincher has been pioneering digital photography for some time and the results have been spectacular with The Social Network and The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo both delivering a reference performance.

So it proves to be with the exception of Panic Room, which remains unavailable on Blu-ray for some reason. The picture and sound are the definition of a reference disc and, in the famous light cycle race, both come together to form one of the greatest audio and visual experiences ever.ĭavid Fincher is a perfectionist, so you can expect the Blu-ray releases of all his films to have impressive picture and sound. However they were rewarded with a technological tour de force that makes for an almost perfect Blu-ray. However it's the nuclear explosion that'll blow your friends' socks off and have you questioning the structural integrity of your house.ĭisney took a genuine risk handing the big-budget sequel of the hugely influential Tron to first time director Joseph Kosinski (who incidentally went on to direct Oblivion). The transfer is flawless, perfectly replicating the film's digital capture and the soundtrack is constantly alive with effects. Aside from being a beautifully designed and an enjoyable throwback to the classic sci-fi of the 1970s, this technical marvel includes a spectacular combination of visuals, score and effects.
