2 movies with awesome sound I saw over the weekend

[newlash09]

John Carter and warcarft. And apart from the sound, they had a good story line too. Maybe they are old movies , but that's first time I've seen them

And warcarft is certainly a franchise in the making. Was truly awesome with great sound, great CGI, and a plot good enough to keep me glued

But are they the type of films that are rewatchable? I can’t say about Warcraft as I’ve never seen it, but John Carter is pretty bad. There’s nothing about the film that would want to make you go back and watch it again. Same with Prince Of Persia, Cowboys vs Aliens, and the remake of Clash Of The Titans. Of the above, I only own Clash Of The Titans as I bought it before seeing the film, thinking, ‘how can this fail to be awesome?!’. It failed to be awesome.

I’ve mentioned this a few times on AVForums. Over the years, there’s been a number of members who have been in the race to get the loudest systems and subwoofers that go the lowest - at one point, having a sub that went down to 20Hz was like owning a Ford Ka in their eyes - you had to have something that reached 10Hz, and some felt you just had to have single digit. Why?! To watch films like John Carter? If people want to spend huge amounts of money to hear mediocre (or just plain terrible) films at their best, then be my guest! But, as mentioned above, short of getting it out to impress your mates when they come round, are you really going to watch it again?

There’s very few films like the above I own as modern remakes of this type of film just seem to be devoid of quality in almost every area. If it wasn’t for the horror genre, I probably would never have ended up with the system I had, or will have when funds allow.

All I can say is Warcraft looked interesting, but never having played the game, I’ve not really been inclined to see it. I’ll catch it at some point.

Rant over

But I really liked John Carter and war craft too. The only other person in my family who enjoys watching films of this ilk, is my nephew. And I plan on inviting him over the weekend for a full movie night. And we usually watch one movie and head out for a family dinner in a restaurant, and then come back for the second . Iam sure he is a childish as iam

You're flaming me because I thought John Carter was an awful movie? I’m sure you’ll agree that we’re allowed opinions around these parts...

I appreciate that a popcorn movie doesn’t necessarily have to be any good, but for me, a “popcorn movie” needs to be enjoyable, something like an Arnie movie (except for Collateral Damage which will never darken my player ever again), or 2012, San Andreas, Rampage, Deep Rising, or at a push, Pacific Rim. I’m not going to waste 2 hours of my life intentionally!

My IMDB rating for John Carter is 1 out of 10, which put it level pegging with Cowboys vs Aliens. In my opinion.

But hey, it takes all sorts. I’m sure there are plenty of U2 or Mumford & Sons fans out there.

Hi newlash09

I’ve not seen Warcraft however the best audio i’ve experienced on Blu Ray so far is Halo 4’s Forward Unto Dawn DTS HD Master Audio track. A truly epic recording *smile*

All the best

I've come across the halo a few times. But never got around to watching it. I was a big fan of the halo game on Xbox. All the way through till halo3. So felt a Little less excited about watching the game as a movie. But will give it a shot this time around

I saw Warcraft in the Cinema and really enjoyed it, also got the disc on Blu ray and it looks really good. I have not seen John Carter, can't believe its not on Netflix... *unknw* I supppose it's been out for a while now.

Edit: Yep just checked I have seen John Carter in the pass, Just watched the tralier. *biggrin* Personally did not think it was all that. Enjoyed Avatar much more than John Carter, but thats just me.

Film tastes are very individual. But please try watching John Carter in full. It is not in the same league as Avatar, and is quiet predictable for movie buffs like us. But all the same, I enjoyed it enough to invite my nephew over the weekend for a watch. And iam sure he will like it too. More of a kids adventure kind of movie. Reminds more of Tom Sawyer, the kidnapped , and treasure island. All books that kept me dreaming for quiet a while in my childhood. And I never grew up, so good enough for me

Not all movies need to be gritty, hard, high-brow or anything else.

Sometimes its just great to sit back and suspend reality for a couple of hours. The POTCs, the Harry Potters and the original three Star Wars do me nicely in that respect.

Having said that, I'd still give anything with a turtle in it, the GI Joe movies and above all The Great Wall a VERY wide berth...
