Three Movies to Show Off Your Home Theater Audio System
These Films Will Take Full Advantage of Your Surround Sound
Movies are not just about the visuals but also sound. Incredibly powerful visuals without a soundtrack to match will simply disappoint you. If you have a home theater system in your Las Vegas, NV home, you will undoubtedly enjoy getting the most out of your investment in the audio component of it.
Do all films take advantage of today’s advanced surround sound technology like Dolby Atmos? Some do much better than others. Clearly, some drama films are not going to have the same effects as a Marvel action epic. If you are a gamer (or your kids are), you might be pleasantly surprised at how well games take advantage of surround audio for incredibly realistic experiences. But many films are benchmarks for surround sound and will wow you with how the soundtrack draws you into the story. Here are three movies that will stretch the limits of your home cinema audio – and put a grin on your face in the process.

Gravity
If a movie wins Academy Awards for sound, you know the soundtrack must have been good. Gravity won awards for best original music, sound mixing, and sound editing. The 2013 space drama was re-released on Bluray with a Dolby Atmos soundtrack that fully shows off the masterful sound editing of the film. The positioning of sound, including voices, all over the soundscape will have you riveted along with the equally stunning visuals, which also won a best cinematography award.
Mad Max: Fury Road
The original Mad Max debuted in 1979, long before home theater systems were popular and readily available. Mad Max: Fury Road is the fourth installment of the popular series, and it should be a test bed for a surround system. You will know that all your speakers are working, as the movie is a two-plus hour chase seen featuring every kind of battle you can do in bizarre moving vehicles. It’s the type of three-dimensional sound for which Dolby Atmos was invented, and you will never be disappointed with the wonderful chaos of the movie brought to life all around you in sound.
Aquaman
Aquaman has been called a “low-frequency party” by some surround sound fans. Every punch, explosion, and collision will test the mettle of your subwoofers in this 2018 underwater fantasy based on the DC Comics character of the 1940s. Is the bass a little gratuitous? Perhaps, but it’s incredibly fun feeling the visceral impact of the low-end sound effects in this soundtrack. The Dolby Atmos mix emphasizes bass everywhere, so you can feel like you’re in the underwater kingdom with every battle.
