The movie clip was the opening scene from ‘ Star Trek into Darkness‘. The last trailer was a Red Bull Media ad involving a Formula 1 race car. The third was called ‘Leaf’, featuring animation by Pixar with sound design by the great Gary Rydstrom. For reference, here are the web-friendly versions reduced to underwhelming YouTube quality audio: At least two of the trailers (called ‘Amaze’ and ‘Unfold’) you may have seen if you’ve been to an Atmos theater. The Dolby reps showed us four Atmos trailers and one movie clip. Will the home version really be as good as what we hear in cinemas, or will it be watered down for mass market CE consumption? To answer that question, Dolby invited myself and some other home theater journalists to its New York headquarters to listen for ourselves.įirst off, I can confirm that home Atmos works and it sounds pretty great.
Dolby’s groundbreaking Atmos surround sound format is coming to Blu-ray and home theater later this year.
