Nice! This movie was excellent. I expect a double-dip with a 7.1 soundtrack out later.

I'm still very curious to hear about the standard vs. IMAX footage and how it might be included (via seamless branching) etc.

Anything less than 7.1 is a dissapointment as far as the audio is concerned, period.

So no 7.1 is odd.. but HELL YEAH HD SOUND! This is totally going to rock!

marzetta7  » Sep 19, 2008
I saw this movie at iMAX...definitely worth it. Regardless of surround sound, the HD sound at 5.1 should be more than sufficient. Can't wait to see the disappearing pencil trick in high-def!

I'm okay with lossless 5.1 - it's better than 640 Kbps Dolby 5.1 or, worse yet, Dolby 2.1 surround.

I am ok with 5.1 over 7.1, although I would have liked it, but I am surprised it isn't DTS-MA. I am sure it will sound good either way, but I prefer DTS.

I Dont trust Warner with the audio department, especially with the credit crunch. I'll definately wait until somone confirms officially it has lossless, even on a title like this I'll wait, because there's a high chance it will be dolby digital, like most of their other titles.

It's too bad that the best film of the year is being released on Blu-Ray by the studio with the worst track record for quality. I'll believe this announcement when it matches the press release from Warner. Even then...I'll believe it when I'm holding the disc in my hand on December 9th.

The Dark Knight audio wasn't made for 7.1 sound. 5.1 sound is enough.

SlmShdy1  » Sep 19, 2008
I know Warner doesn't do DTS but at least give us a PCM track.

They should include an extra disc with all the different bootlegs of this movie.

Jayromy  » Sep 19, 2008
I can deal without the 7.1, but it would have been nice to have DTS core track over Dolby. It's Warner, though...I am not surprised. Either way, December can't get here fast enough.

So this film was made for 5.1 (not 5.1 EX/ES) and you guys were expecting 7.1... why? It was intended for 5.1, the release is in 5.1, TrueHD is the same as DTS-HD MA (aside from the lossy parts), and yet people are still complaining about both... Sad...
