Unbroken BD is going to have Dolby Atmos audio.

Confirmed via the latest press release they sent me:

March is a big month for the release of some of Hollywood’s hottest Blu-ray disc tiles featuring a Dolby Atmos soundtrack. Lionsgate previously announced its 4th Blu-ray disc with Dolby Atmos, The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1 (Release date March 06, 2015). This week Universal Pictures Home Entertainment officially announced the release Unbroken (Release date March 24, 2015). In addition, Warner Bros. Home Entertainment recently announced the Gravity Diamond Luxe edition official street date slated for March 31, 2015.


Gravity, which won Oscars® for Music (Original Score), Sound Editing and Sound Mixing, is the first Blu-ray title from WBHE to be available with the revolutionary new audio technology Dolby Atmos. “While Gravity is known for its stunning visuals, the unprecedented recognition given to its extraordinary achievements in sound underscore why we felt it so vital to include the new Dolby Atmos technology for this new special edition release,” said Jeff Baker Executive Vice President and General Manager, Theatrical Catalog.


Unbroken, nominated for 2015 Oscars® in the Best Achievement in Sound Editing and Sound Mixing categories, is the first Blu-ray title from Universal Pictures Home Entertainment to be available with Dolby Atmos. The Unbroken sound team credits Dolby Atmos with helping put the audience in the extreme situations that World War II hero Louis Zamperini experienced—hurtling airplanes, vast oceans, and oppressive jungles. “This film was served well by [Dolby] Atmos,” said Montaño, the sound rerecording mixer. The effect “was subtle, but very precise.” “When you’re in the ocean, when you’re in the jungle and you hear the bugs, you just feel like you’re in that space,” said Andrew DeCristofaro, the supervising sound editor. “It feels more realistic.”

I saw the Avengers in Dolby Atmos, and was a most satisfying audio presentation. Highly recommended if you can attend a screening with the tech.

Hi all,

Its been really interesting seeing all your feelings about atmos and which films you've enjoyed (or not) that have been released in it.

Im currently undertaking a dissertation in surround sound formats and what the future could be for these. I've put together a quick survey (about 7 or 8 ) questions to see about peoples feelings are with these formats. It would be great if you could help and spare a couple of minutes to fill out this survey. It would help me greatly and it might just be interesting for all of you too!

I looked at the Dolby site and didn't see a formal list - just a "cinema locator"...
