This is based upon my words concerning the new Gladiator 4k Steelbook release. Back in the dark ages of home video, May of 2018 to be exact, I reviewed the 4k releases of Braveheart and Gladiator, and found Braveheart to have been shorn its plastic shackles. Now, a bit more than two years...

A hugely popular film upon release in 1996, Columbia has released Cameron Crowe's Jerry Maguire in a special 24th Anniversary 4k UHD presentation, as part of the Columbia Collection boxed set. And it's beautiful. The film holds up wonderfully. Color, densities, black levels (further supported...

The new 4k release of David Lean's epic, Lawrence of Arabia, has seen four versions, and a myriad of home video itinerations, going back to praxinoscope days. Now released in the new Columbia six film boxed set, it has seemingly reached home video nirvana. Everything that one might wish for is...

Cinema memories are a bit akin to muscle memory, especially as viewed through the aforementioned fog of time. It was my memory, having not seen the film since the Blu-ray was released eleven years ago (it was released twenty-two years ago), that it was a superb retelling of the zorro legend...

Would someone be able to help with confirm I’m playing Dolby Atmos sound with the Yamaha 7850? I’m not using a 4K TV as that shouldn’t matter as the DVD is going straight into the receiver. Here is my set up UHD/4K , Hi Res Sony UBPX800 DVD player. Avengers End Game UHD w/Dolby Atmos Hi speed...

I have a Yamaha TSR-7850 using Klipsch Atmos presence speakers with the cross over switch set to atmos on the speaker. When I play the official Atmos demo from YouTube via blue tooth connection to the receiver it sounds amazing, I can hear every little bird chirp, twig breaking and basket ball...

I just purchased the Onkyo TX-NR686 with Dolby Atmos and DTS-X, I also purchased the Monoprice Immersive speakers, They have 2 inputs, one for the front(?) and a height input. I already have some bi-wired Polk Monitor 50's for the front. Do I just wire the height input or do I have to do...

Hello... I am planning to buy a TV and I want it to connect to a AV receiver which supports Dolby Atmos ( 5.1 + 2 upward firing). I will be watching mostly Netflix and prime videos. I am not planning to connect a dvd player with the AV receiver. So I am wondering 1. Will all TVs that has hdmi...

Hello all. I am new to the site, and this is my first post on HTF. So thanks in advance for any and all feedback, My apologies if this is not the right area to post this topic. I am finishing my basement and have decided to put in a dedicated home theater room. The decision came to me a...

As many of you know, when you're on a project, certain things go by the wayside. In my case, it was any recognition of Anna, starring dancer/model-turned-actress Sasha Luss. As I was viewing, it became apparent that it had been made by a master craftsman, but I didn't know by whom. It's the...

Another beautiful 4k release from the Lionsgate library, of a film that I somehow missed totally. As Rambo films go, it's good, but seems to get caught up in the totally nihilistic concept of the plot, ie unrestrained violence, as directed by Mr. Stallone. Superb actions sequences, tremendous...

If i have an A/V receiver which supports dolby atmos... Can i play dolby atmos audio at any speaker ?? Or do i need to get specific speaker model which support dolby atmos??

While this could apply to both disc and streaming formats let's try not to concern ourselves with the delivery format but the audio format and the number of channels delivered by the audio format. We have come such a long way on the audio side and many of us have been in this hobby since the...

Thoughts bouncing around. They begin with a confused public reception, as this is without a doubt, the Best Picture of 1979. Not that it wasn't nominated. It was. Along with seven other nominations: Film Editing, Sound, Cinematography, Screenplay based from Another Medium, Art/ Set...

One could easily be led to believe, by viewing the new 4k of Edward Zwick's 1989 Glory, that the folks at Columbia have a secret sauce, enabling them to perfectly capture the appearance of an OCN Print to one of those tiny discs, we call Blu-ray. It's perfect. Especially, projected, the...

I moved into a new house, it was a model home in the past in the community. I found that there are built in speakers in 3 different rooms. Downstairs, there is a cabinet with wires for the speakers (I need to figure those out too). But we also noticed that there is a wifi being transmitted in...

For those who loved the 2018 re-make of A Star is Born, and can't get enough, the Special Encore Edition adds 12 minutes of additional material, padding out some music performances, and misc bits, and proving that more may or may not be better. But it is longer. The new Blu-ray, which is not...

Technically, 13 Hours is an interesting project, which appears to have been shot on both film, as well as data, and completed as a 2k DCP. The resultant 4k Blu-ray, based upon these files is a quality affair, although in a couple of instances, there may have been digital anomalies - in this...

Otto Bathurst's new take on the Robin Hood legend, courtesy of Ben Chandler and David James Kelly, is an interesting beast. Filled to the brim with digital effects, heavy in action and violence, and borrowing at different times from Steam Punk, Lawrence, Assassin's Creed, Hunger Games...

Hi All, I am a rookie person for Home Audio - Video Systems. I have purchased a Marantz NR1607 two year ago, and purt together with Canton Movie 85 CX 5.1 Speakers for my home theater system build. I was looking for a community to get in touch with other interested people with AVR systems for...

Hey everyone! I don't know if I came to the right place but I currently own a recently new Denon 7.1 reciever, without Atmos or dts-x support . Thing is I would like to add overhead channels , but without buying a new 1000 dollar receiver. Does anyone know of a way to add Dolby Atmos or overhead...

I had no idea what I was getting in to with Andrew Niccol's Lord of War, and came away impressed. It's a film that' s more than the sum of its parts, leading to a commentary regarding the levels and intricacies of the sale of arms on more than a simplistic level. Shot on film (S35), and...

I'm looking to buy Klipsch floor standing speakers with built in or separate Dolby Atmos modules...I have 10 foot ceilings...If I build a 7 foot high storage loft over where I plan to put the speakers, will it kill the functionality of D.A. modules ? ? ?

While Schindler's List may not be one of those films that has the audience walking down the road afterwards, smiling, while they recall the lyrics of their favorite songs, it's a film for which Steven Spielberg will always be considered at the top of his craft. It was magnificently photographed...

Aside from a quite extraordinary Dolby Atmos track, the question that ran through my mind while viewing the latest in the Cloverfield series, was " why?" The film seems a bit of a mashup of Alien, The Big Sleep and Beat the Devil. One superb outer space opera. A superb noir, with an extremely...

For those seeking a high-end art film, please move on. Hunter Killer isn't it. What it is, however, with suspension of disbelief firmly in place, is a terrifically entertaining political / military thriller that arrives running on twelve cylinders, and never lets up. Gerard Butler, Gary...
