During the film s more boisterous sequences, it expands to merge seamlessly with the split surrounds and immerse the listener in a true holosonic surroundstage. The enormous explosion that leads off the action is also mighty impressive, particularly in the bass output from the left and right mains, as well as the .1 FX channel. Panning and sound effects placement are smooth and accurate. The surrounds contribute convincing, subtle ambient tones during a handful of interiors and exteriors for example, in the museum in Washington D.C. and during the foot race to the bridge in Chicago. We were also impressed by some powerful localized effects from over the shoulders.
Dialogue is very well recorded and nicely integrated.
Placement in the phantom zones, between the center channel and left and right mains, makes for seamless, accurate imaging. Jerry Goldsmith s score is also well recorded and nicely distributed about the surroundstage. These 5.1 tracks will blow up your skirt or kilt, and really make an impression. Once again, high marks.
