An even handed review on these releases is exactly what we needed.

I'm in the UK really looking forward to getting this in April one of my all time favourite films, thank you for the Atmos review.

Enjoying your honest videos. Great work thanks for sharing

Still waiting on my copy of this - but I’m so glad you got your copy and reviewed as now I’m EVEN MORE excited to HEAR and see this one…👍🏼

Yes, the audio was done in stereo for Dolby Pro-Logic surround decoding in 1986. Standard procedure for upgrading these tracks to today's multi-channel formats like Atmos is going back to source files, panning them around to the different channels and recording new sounds to augment or replace some of the previous sounds.

I pre ordered and am still waiting for my Cameron discs! Can't wait......

Hi, just came across your channel. I am the biggest Atmos fan. over the yearsI’ve heard so many people complain about it, and allude that it doesn’t add much or just speakers overhead something to that effect. which is just crazy to me the first time I heard it my jaw dropped. I couldn’t believe the difference and unfortunately I have the most basic of a Atmos set up relatively high end gear, but due to room constraints, a 5.2.2 is what I have and the .2 is just front heights on the front wall not overhead, but the difference is night and day. As to the sound from aliens, at least two of the scenes you described are added footage from the theatrical release my best guess is the source material was never mixed in multi channel and it just carries over as left right and Center not saying that it could’ve been mixed but for whatever reason it wasn’t pure speculation on my part of course. keep up the great work and have a great one.👍

Thanks for the audio review. Certainly the reason I would be buying it. I think if you threw any level of Epson super res at this disk it would improve that smoothed disk image some are complaining about. Best line in the movie from the late Bill is a toss up between"We got Guuuns, Kniiives, Sharps sticks" and "Game over man, game over!"

The theatrical cut has the option to hear the original discrete 4.1 mix. While the Atmos mix is still fresh, would you consider listening to that mix and do a comparison? Aside from the added channels, were certain sound effects added or missing? How the music to effects overall balance is in each one? Was one more dynamic than the other?

My amp can do atmos, just dont have the speakers for it. This film and review makes me want to get it set up to do atmos.

How is the gunfire? More punchy bass added?

great content and the quality of your videos are really good too

I don't understand why they aren't ALL redone in 4K??? Awesome BTW that I've found a channel dedicated to Sound.

I agree pretty much with everything you said about the audio in this review, I also experienced the same as you did. Very happy with the results of this mix, didn't disappoint at all and is pretty much what I would have hoped for with this classic.

Sounds like staff change to me on the wind and stuff

Sir, what is the speaker configuration of ur dolby atmos set up? In my 5.1.2 set up I did find more differences of OTT movies sound from ht chanel spkr. Dolby atmos movies of blue ray disc are better than ott movies for sound effect?

That's pretty good review 👍 I'm looking forward to watching it tonight. . I just got all 3 movies in yesterday. I watched Abyss last night, the surround sound was outstanding. Did you watch Aliens extended version or theatrical version?

Very Intresting Atmos Setup with middle an top Front .Have you calles Them top middle and top Front in Receiver?

When you listen to 5.1 source you upmix to 7.1? I am Not Sure,cause when i prefer native 5.1 my Rears would Go to the Side.So maybe a downgrade from my 5.1 ,where the Surrounds are behind a bit on the Sides.

Some people's expectations were too high with these new, long-awaited James Cameron 4K releases to begin with. You can't please everybody! Personally, I'm not going to complain about any of these releases because I've waited too long for them. If they were good enough for James Cameron to be approved for their 4K releases, they will be good enough for me. I would rather have True Lies, The Abyss and Aliens in 4K then not have them at all because I don't stream. I prefer physical media.

Movie recording in Dolby stereo (4 channel). Waiting Alien 3,4 full restoration with Dolby Atmos.

Hey bud,what cut of the movie did you watch?

44 years old?? It’s 38 years old this year As of typing 18th March 2024

If I was hiring a sound mixer, the first question I would ask.. so what kind of speaker configuration do you happen to have at home. It should be standard procedure!

Pls read as did not find

You can’t give a movie an A if it has uneven sound effects. The fact that they omitted great sound effects in the beginning or simply screwed up and learned how to finally do it right makes it incapable of receiving an A rating.
