Pfeff Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 (edited) I picked one up today at Big W Browns Plains. There were a few left. Thanks mate, got a copy from BigW Mt Ommaney. They still had 3-4 on the shelves this morning. Watched it with my 30yo daughter yesterday. Loved every moment. She wore out a VHS tape as a kid. This bluray transfer is fantastic. Took me back to my childhood when I saw it in 70mm in the theatre. Edited November 14, 2010 by Pfeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

betty boop Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 we watched about 45min of it after kids went to bed, and what can say wow I am impressed ! the opening scenes brought some memories back ! I like it they have done what looks like a wonderfull job restoring it, astounded with the detail in the picture, the rich colours and they have kept the charm of the movie, not going overboard with restoration and keeping a bit of film look. audio wise is pretty impressive the 7.1 audio being used to good effect for a feel of being in a concert hall with the orchestra and even with actors speaking the surround steering is impeccable with such clarity to the vocals. we havent watched a movie in a little while and so far this has been an absolute treat. looking forward to tonight hopefully watching the rest. ps my little daughter absolutely loved the music box ! absolutely intrigued by it !

Regarding audio - if you're only 45 minutes in, you're in for a further treat. Without ruining anything, LFE was the last thing I was expecting this movie to have (it's not War of the Worlds) but it's there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Church Organ during the Wedding. Gave the sub a semblance of a workout. Again, we are talking Sound of Music here, not Cloverfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They get married? Damn you. Never seen Cloverfield, so don't understand the reference. As for Sound of Music, yeah I get that the scene mentioned could be good. I'll have to remember to crank up the volume before it gets to that bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabor Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 Never seen Cloverfield, so don't understand the reference. It's just a movie with heaps of LFE, but then one would expect that given the nature of that movie, unlike the somewhat more sedentary Sound of Music.

Hence the reason for my question. It may be set during world war II, but it's not like there's any actual war scenes. It's not even like any of the music is particularly bassy.

Well he was just saying there was a bit of LFE in one certain scene but it aint no Cloverfield (i.e. - no heavy over the top bass) I don't think anything was meant by it, just a passing comment.

Exactly! Yeah, it was only one scene but still pretty cool nonetheless and enough for the neighbours downstairs to give me dirty looks when I encounter them next .

I wasn't being critical or anything. When I read the first post I sat there thinking where in the movie there could possibly be any decent LFE. It makes perfect sense when you think about it.

Yes indeed. The music really had a concert hall feel at times. A very strong score. The opening sequence with the arial shots over the alps and fiords along with the orchestral wind instruments playing, is mesmerising and pulls you into the film from the word go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
