Best Dolby Atmos mix of 2020 so far.

Rating: 7/10 (12 March 2020)

Midway (4K Blu-ray)
Forget the insanely cheesy dialogue and the lashings of schmaltz.
'Midway' is best enjoyed with the brain turned down and your home theatre system turned up way past eleven.
On 4K Blu-ray this film boasts one of the best sound mixes ever to grace home media.
The film tells the story of the battle of Midway.
An important turning point in World War II.
With a stellar cast, Roland Emmerich's film has all the right ingredients to be a blockbuster.
Sadly the cliche script, and hammy acting do this movie no favours.
In terms of cinematic quality think less 'Saving Private Ryan' and more 'Pearl Harbour '.
That said this film is still huge fun and it can't be helped but to get caught up in all the spectacle.
Bringing me on to this movies biggest selling point.
On 4K Blu-ray this movie is a must have for the Home Cinema enthusiasts.
Picture quality is good but not demo worthy.
There's a layer of grain added in post production which elevates the cinematic appearance.
The colour palette is vintage helping give the movie a Saturday afternoon matinee feel.
HDR helps generate some blindingly bright explosions and adds a three dimensional look to the aerial battles.
'Midway' doesn't boast a 4K crisp image throughout but for the most part it is a fine transfer.
Sound quality on the other hand is a different story.
This is one bass heavy mix.
The Dolby Atmos track that accompanies this movie is an absolute belter.
Height and surround effects are constant with the battle scenes being demo worthy.
If you're sat on the fence about buying a dedicated Home theatre system. This movie will sway you.
Your neighbours might not be too happy if you crank this movie up to the max.
You may even crack the plaster on your ceiling.
'Midway' has a 10/10 sound mix and will be your new go to disc to showcase your system.
Overall the movie maybe a little cheesy but as a surround sound experience this movie is the best offering so far in 2020.
