Dune 2021

What I've gleaned from people watching it at the cinema, and after I watched in on Blu-Ray, is that it's probably the most punishing movie sound-wise.

Many complained about the sound at the cinemas that the dialog was not clear enough - my guess is the audio systems were simply not up to scratch. And so the Blu-ray proved - it's really demanding of your system. The highs and lows mean that, if you don't have your system setup just so, you will be constantly adjusting the volume.

I would go as far as to say that your AV amp would need to be calibrated specifically just to watch this movie.

I've found that with one or two others - gets frustrating.

Have it on 4K but not watched yet. Must get round to it.

I can't remember struggling with dialogues when watching on Google Play.

Sounds like it is time to press play.

Nor me on Prime, sounded great, just not that impressed with this release over the original or the novel.

To recap I have the Blu-ray 1080p. And I've just noticed something very interesting - even this HD disc has Dolby Atmos!

I'm now inclined to get a 4K disc player, I don't want a Sony as their older players required manual switching for Atmos, as opposed to others. Any suggestions? Ideally a midrange player, not fussed about music or CDs.

Panasonic makes very reliable players.
