The movie starts off with an impressive overhead listening experience with the sound of an aircraft circling above you. It then challenges your surround speakers’ ability to output an extensive range of demanding frequencies in a high-speed chase involving sports cars, motorcycles, and choppers coming from all directions. The varying loudness of each vehicle’s sound effects gives you a realistic perception of how near or far they are to you, making you feel like you are in the center of the action. At the same time, the dialog from the back remains clear as day, while bullets naturally whiz by you, and every crash is felt in your chest. The scene cleverly uses a sports car’s swerve to round off your surround experience. PS. Remember to catch your breath during the chase.
