The HOBBIT: Dolby Atmos treatment


 

Finally much awaited DOLBY ATMOS has come to chennai theatre and got a chance to see HOBBIT movie on it. Got ticket and seated to my B12 seat at Sathyam(Escape) STREAK screen.Film about to start. Just counted the speakers, yes its really 64 speakers inside. Top 2 rows of 11, left and right side 11, 2 BIG woofers at each corner, 8 speakers at back and 10 speakers behind screen.

3D ATMOS Demo sound... Sound from top of our head really a new experience, too good...


Film started with usual male voice telling the history of mankind and slowly into the hobbit story.. Movie is spl for its imaginary places that you cant imagine itself and you will get confuse which is graphics and real one...After some 15 min around, there a scene inside hobbit home with all BIG fellow mans conversation, really bored and dragged too much, really got the feel of what is this movie like documentary..  

Then started the roller coaster ride of actions & adventures.. Awesome sound effects

Dog chasing scene
Spectacular views of forts
Thunder storm
Dragon fire
BIG monster fights
Roller coaster fights
stone man fights
Tree at mountain edge fights
Eagle sequence
climax

In all these scenes, you will automatically come to the edge of the seat and sometimes throw me back to seat when knift rod come before your eyes :)

Ring showing scene, awesome.. in slow motion, the ring which come out from small monster man and the base sound in slow sync too good

Killing the dragon is the final touch i thought but after 3 hours of actions, still dragon didnt come... At the end, they showed the Dragon eye for next part :)

MUST watch movie for adventures, nature, actions, sound effects, 3D.
