Films...Tron
« on: 07 May 2011, 09:58:42 »

On BluRay last night. Loved it. Loads of basy effects and sound track really gave the speakers a work out. ....  Picture was good too.  ;D

Looking forward to Transformers 3. I love all the sic fi stuff personally, but any big blockbuster will do. Can't be arsed with comedies for some reason.
If it doesn't give the home cinema a work out then....naah.  ;D

Any other recommendations.?

Even better in 3D at the cinema. :P

Need to watch the prequel to fully enjoy it though.

Yes, Shooter is good, but I'll trump that with Heat, old, but Al pachino and Robert Deniro, and a cracking gun battle that rattles the windows. :)

The yam is plenty good enough IMO. Hd will kick the tubes arse though. If that bothers the individual is another story of course.  :y

the A-team film will give your speakers and system a work out,  knight and day is a good film iron man 2 as well is pretty good sound wise if you like ac dc

However imho independance day reigns the best for sound effects

we have a sony 60 in lcd tv running through a7.1 sony thearter amp and mission  speakers in a room just for films nowt else in it bar the tv,speakers,etc and 4 recliner chairs..... the complaints from the neighbours lets me know i have a good system oops

Independence day... Didn't strike me tbh. Maybe I'll give it a re run.

Both Iron man films get thumbs up from me. Only transformers 1+2 is better, and 3 is out in June. :y


I tried an Onkyo 7.1 amp a couple of years ago, sent it back it was crap. They reckon it was faulty, but the menus where very dull and it was slow, and ruined the picture. :-/ never bothered replacing so went back to my trusty Sony 5.1. even though it had to have relays re soldered.

Oh, 50inch pioneer BTW. 8-)

There does appear to be a lack of decent films recently - I guess the film companies are holding back like the rest of industry.

Stuff I've watched in the last few months that have actually caught my attention (I tend to be on the computer, or reading, at same time)...

I was quite impressed with The Tourist (Jolie and Depp), though was predictable.  I started watching it whilst doing something else, but found myself getting drawn towards the film.

The remake of Unstoppable with Denzil Pemberthy and monkey nuts from Star Trek, typical American film, very predictable, but an enjoyable couple of hours with the character relationship between the 2 main characters. Based (loosely) on a true story as well.

Knowing was quite fascinating, although has a sci-fi element, although key to the film, isn't part of the film, if that makes sense.

District 9 was an interesting film, very sci-fi, but could have been not sci-fi (those who have seen it will understand exactly what I mean).

I know you've seen Avatar, though I thought the middle bit dragged (though I think mine is the extended version).

A-Team was much better than I thought - I wasn't going to bother with it, then we saw a cut-to-ribbons version on a plane, and it looked good, so when it came out, we got it, and I really enjoyed it.

Star Trek was enthralling as well - as a franchise, its now full of holes, but a great film none the less.

The Kings Speech, despite being a chick-flick, was a worthwhile watch.

BTW, Ironman works for me - good enough film on its own, but she does scrub up nicely ::)
