Fueled by giants, your subwoofer(s) will definitely be the star of this movie presentation, especially when the beanstalk shoots up. Every weight of the giant’s footsteps is boldly translated to ground-shaking rumbles. Details of the fantasy world are clearly replicated in their respective channels to mirror whatever that is on-screen. Distinct directionality can be heard throughout the movie to provide the extra surround oomph. Lines have excellent textures that do not separate to give you an uncomfortable listening experience. This is indeed a successful childhood fairytale revamp that features a spectacular audio presentation that brings the pages of the storybook classic to live.
