Dolby atmos pressing. Is this is also Dolby TrueHD 7.1 or just 5.1 atmos.

Andy,

I was at Warner Bros. about 2-3 weeks ago.

One of the top priorities I had was discussing the awful 5.1 release of GRAVITY.

I was told that a Dolby Atmos 7.1 version was forthcoming.

I am *guessing* this is it. However, as always, will await a press release.

I assume that 3D fans are missing out on this release. I am sure WB will triple dip but strange no plans for the ATMOS / Silent options for 3D. This package was almost perfect. (Even this cover art almost screams lenticular)

If it's not 3-D and Atmos then I'll pass and wait for when both are present on a BD release.

lol, Ron, are you hard of hearing or having a bad day? It was the best mix for dialogue panning I have listened to in decades and I doubt any film before the end of this decade will equal GRAVITY dialogue panning. I didn't care much for the sound effects it was the dialogue as it felt so cinematic over all the other films of today that have dialogue anchored in front of the centre channel. Well I truthfully did like the sound effects the Foley was good. All those bumpy sound/noises when they handle objects with their gloves, is fairly accurate.

Well have you ever placed earplugs in your ears and when walking around you hear THUMB! THUMB! with each footstep and I tried some imaginary hand movement at picking things up or handling an object and I can hear mild thumbing noises transmitting though my arms to my head to my ears to my mind at very speed fast.

Well I might buy it again and if atmos takes off in the next few years and prices lower on top of the line AVR models of the year for £150.00 or end up on ebay being sold cheaply cos one wants the next line of 10D TV vision and the current models don't have it, get what I mean? They often get sold on ebay. So I can wait a few years. GRAVITY is not going to grow legs and start running off at 17,500 feet per second.

Oh btw, I liked GRAVITY with PLIIx movie, switched ON and that placed some mission control to shuttle voices behind on the x4 JBL on back wall at present , during shots where the camera is constantly moving about and the sound is slowly changing with those moves or if going around the other way if Clooney is jet-packing EVA around while playing county music. And with some overhead and below seating matrix expansion surround I'm surrounded by GRAVITY.

Andy,

Let me clarify....

It was awful because the film won an Oscar for its sound mix.
Warner's release was an insult to that recognition.

I heard it in 7.1 while visiting Dolby over a year ago.

For Warner not to have originally done a 7.1 release when everything else
they were issuing had those specs, is a downright negligent, awful thing to do.

You can sit there all you want and praise the 5.1 mix. I thought it was good, too.

However, why stop there? A 7.1 mix would have been even better. An Atmos
mix will trump everything else.

So, no, I am not hard of hearing nor having a bad day.

This one does have Atmos, people on AVS found promo posters for this release that mentioned Atmos.

No 3D, no sale.

okay Ron, I agree with you, its was bit cheap of Warner Bros taking such a cheap route and skipping on the Dolby TrueHD 7.1. I wonder if they will let us have the next release for FREE since we already paid for it and it was insult to skip on 7.1 and give us 5.1.

I thought it was Dolby 5.1 as the composer mentioned it in he extras? So maybe to mislead us?

Announced today, Dolby Atmos for Home was named the Grand Winner in the entertainment category of this year’s Best of What's New Awards from Popular Science Magazine.

Each year, the editors of Popular Science review thousands of products in search of the top 100 tech innovations of the year; breakthrough products and technologies that represent a significant leap in their categories. Along with the other winners, Dolby has been awarded inclusion in the much-anticipated December issue of Popular Science, the most widely read issue of the year.

You may also be excited to hear that Warner Bros. Home Entertainment has announced that the Diamond Luxe edition of Gravity will be released featuring a Dolby Atmos soundtrack on Feb. 10, 2015.

Gravity director Alfonso Cuarón has said that watching the film in Dolby Atmos is as important as seeing it in 3D and has explained, “When I started mixing my films, I was always asking for possibilities in the mixing room that were not achievable. Now finally with Dolby Atmos it’s a dream come true where you can really exploit the possibilities of depth and separation as never before.” Here’s a link to a video interview where he talks about how he used “sound" to tell a story – even though there is no sound in space.

It's too bad Warner is going to release it three different times on BD before we're able to see it in 3D with Dolby Atmos. I usually defend the studios, but in this case, I can't do it. So, I'll patiently wait until Warner does this title right and release it in 3D with Dolby Atmos.

If it's atmos, will that also include a 7.1 mix that a non atmos system can use?

Somebody can correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the Dolby Atmos converts to 7.1 mix on such systems.

It will also be 5.1 backward and Dolby Stereo backward if you AVR doesn't support TrueHD dtsHDMA the mix is will only play as Dolby Digital 5.1 or if no has Digital then its just stereo though pro-logic.

Yes, it is a Dolby TrueHD track with extra meta data, if you can't decode the extra data it plays back in whatever dolby configuration you have.

Correct!

Just so odd more talk of how much the director loves the 3D and the best audio but we are given 2D as the only option. I am going to hate syncing this up to play the audio from one BLU to watch the old 3D disc.The anazon France listing notes 3D for their Feb 15 release. take that for that the listing is for now.

This is such a brazen attempt to get people to triple dip. There will be a 3D with atmos later. I've got a solution..don't fall for it. When the 3D with atmos does come out, it'll be priced to sell at $30+. At that price, I'll stick with my 5.1 3D.
