July 1 has been designated DTS 7.1 day, and DTS would love all fans of DTS 7.1 audio to
drop by any of DTS' social media pages:
The Lion King's DTS 7.1 sound track is unbelievable. The pans & the sounds in each channel are crystal clear. Full soundfield in each speaker. It really immerses you into the film.
I know it's an animated film but the DTS 7.1 soundtrack is amazing. Defininate demo material. One of the best soundtracks all the way through the movie that I've ever heard.
Probably my favorite is Rambo for the sheer aggressiveness of the track, but I also enjoy the delicate and powerful use of the extra channels in Ghost Protocol as well. Having just recently upgrade to 7.2, I find the extra channels extremely beneficial.
Off the top of my head it would be Jurassic Park, since the question was favorite film with a 7.1 track, rather than favorite 7.1 track itself. That's assuming you weren't being literal by referring to a 7.1 "mix", as I don't believe JP was actually mixed - remixed rather - for 7.1, so much as converted from the original 6 channel audio for a faux 7.1 BD.
For movie quality, I'll go with Jurassic Park. But for sheer "whoa" factor of sound (apologies to Keanu Reeves), I'll go with Rambo. I haven't heard the Hugo track yet, so that's a good reason for me to win! :-)
