Good news, the movie that is considered the paramount building block for today’s superhero movies, just got a massive upgrade in sound. Each detail receives an appropriate amount of sound treatment that immerses you through your surround speakers even more than before. A noticeably wider soundstage is present in this remastered piece and that has certainly brought out the realism in every dialogue. Low-frequency effects from crashing cars and building falls are comfortably pressured, while background panic screams are layered tenderly on top to give meaning to “Sound that you can feel”. Heroic fly-ins from Clark Kent, will most definitely have you say, “It’s a Bird”, “It’s a Plane”, “Oh, it is just really good surround sound.”
