Current movies with great sound

[Lukas]

Hey guys,

I kind of feel there are not so many new movies released with better than average sound.
Most of them are okay but lack, especially dynamics.
They sound like they were mastered for your TV and soundbar and not for a great home-cinema experience.
Basically all Marvel/Disney movies fall into that category.

What current releases stood out to you?

My last two were:

Ghostbusters: Afterlife 2021
A nice and mellow family film with great sound design. A typical Sunday afternoon movie.

Last Night in Soho 2021
A very dynamic soundtrack, sometimes even too dynamic. Nothing for people living in apartments:)
The movie was okay, nothing extraordinary.

Looking forward to your experiences.

I feel you. I am from Germany and we also have everything dubbed. With the DVD in 1997, I started watching movies in their original native soundtrack and never looked back.

I am always shocked about how much worse the dubbed soundtrack sounds compared to the original.
I see that a lot of Germans use post-processing like Auros Auromatic to compensate for the worse mix.

Yeah I found many annoyances with dubbed movies and I must say Auro3D upmixer has really helped a lot in that regard.

Hi guys,

Even though it is not a movie I thought I share it anyway.

I started watching the second season of Euphoria and I have to say the mix is very good for a drama series.
Very clear and real-sounding voices, some smaller details/effects placed in the virtual space, and some songs have great surround effects.
It is not in your face, more subtle, but very well made and stood out in the sea of mediocrity.

Oh yes. I watched a very high quality copy of Dune at home, and the sound was beautiful.

[Matthew Esler]

Whiplash! That’s definitely due for a rewatch with an upgraded sound system.

@Matthew

Do you mean the old Dune from 1984?

Whiplash is indeed a great movie with a fantastic soundtrack.

I know it’s a TV serie and not a movie but Stranger Things 4 has a veary good soundtrack! ;)

[Lukas]

@Mirko

Just started watching it too. Lacks a little dynamics but the sound mix is good!

[Ferry Poel]

Stranger Things season 4 has a great dolby atmos track.
