🔊 All things Dolby Atmos 🔊

What takes a movie from good to great is oftentimes the sound. Hearing characters' voices clearly, mixing awesome sound effects, or scoring an incredible soundtrack is what keeps your focus and brings you into the film. Having the tool of mixing a movie in Atmos brings another element to the director's plate to help tell the story in a better and more immersive way.

The Storm Scene In "Everest" has amazing Atmos effects. The scene take place as the climbers decent back down the mountain. The euphoria from reaching the top of the mountain quickly turns to terror as a violent ice storm whips up out of nowhere. You not only get the huge dynamics of the thunder claps but you feel the wind, ice and rain blowing sideways on the climbers. You can hear the frozen rain pinging on their clothes from just about every direction as the scene puts you on the mountain.

[TerminatorJuice]

I actually feel that the best Atmos scene in Dune is when Jessica and Paul fly into the sand storm in the Ornithopter... When the camera goes inside the cockpit, the audio changes so that you hear all the debris hitting the windshield and metal, and it makes me feel like you're a tually in the crockpit.

[PorkMarshmallow]

“It: Chapter One” I use a lot to show off my Atmos to friends. The opening sequence, the rain, bass and the wind chimes on the lady’s porch; up to the title reveal audio crescendoing into peaceful birds. All amazing!

[bradledford]

The street shootout scene in Heat with Al Pacino and Robert DeNiro was one of the original 5.1 demos I heavily favored. With it remixed in Atmos and 4K, that will be a go-to for me when I finish my current home theater project.

[pinoyhitko]

By far, my favorite mix is Midway. The sounds of the propeller planes flying with the ricochet of bullets is absolutely immersing.

[jebojc]

It almost feels wrong not to include one of the monsterverse movies on here. Godzilla vs. Kong or KOTM. The monsters tower above you in the Atmos speakers and the bass is fantastic.
Midway - final assault. Fun bass with the bombs and the anti aircraft rounds fill your room.
Aquaman - final battle (when Arthur returns with leviathan will shake your room)
I agree on interstellar - the black hole scene is awesome, but Nolan doesn't use Atmos sadly.

Edit. But thanks for these. I had forgotten about the scene in Blade Runner 2042. I haven't seen dune yet. The 4k disc is here. Just waiting for a night to watch with my friends. Excited about that one. And I added Bohemian Rhapsody to my watch list. Good video!

[billyswales]

One of my favorite Atmos films is the incredible Mad Max: Fury Road. Amazing sound throughout the movie

[bigpappi]

Deepwater Horizon, from the first explosion until the end is amazing in Atmos

[delaunfifield]

The battles in "Rogue One" were awesome with sounds all over you! Also "Ford V Ferrari" was amazing-especially when inside the cars!

[evilsmurfk]

The Dolby Atmos in Saving Private Ryan is god tier level and surprised it wasnt on this list.
I have seen the movie lots of times in the past but first time watching it in Atmos was an incredible experience and i highly recommend it.

[gregorycromwell]

No Time to Die. First Bond movie in Atmos. The opening scenes with the motorcycle and car chase are incredible.

[LoafRock]

Overlord opening scene is a great test for your atmos.

[pf]

For me it’s Mad Max Fury Road. The entire movie is one big awesome demo.

[Iamsuperb]

Tons of great movies here. I'd also include the Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit trilogies. The battle scenes are incredible, and even the quiet scenes have subtle but natural little bird chirps and brushing trees making it feel like you're there with them

[MrPhenom]

My are…

ZERO DARK THIRTY - the climatic siege towards the end

Transformers: Dark of the Moon - Driller Bot sequence

Fury - The Sherman tank battle in the midpoint of film

The Matrix Revolutions - The battle for Zion portion was extraordinary remastered in ATMOS

No Time To Die had a great mix

The Suicide Squad (2021) - the STARRO/building collapse scene
🤩🍻

[brandonmathewson]

Alita Battle Angel?!? That one is so amazing with Dolby Atmos!!

[aperez]

Great list. I have viewed all of these in Atmos. One more I would include is the scene in Deepwater Horizon when the well finally lets go and explodes.

[JMAX]

Was sampling some random movies this week and was surprised to discover the world of Warcraft movie actually has one if the best atmos mixes I’ve heard on my system.
