Warner Bros. Home Entertainment has officially set Gareth Edwards’ Godzilla (2014) for release on 4K Ultra HD on 3/23. It will feature HDR10 high dynamic range with Dolby Atmos audio. It will also include the previously released special features, among them the 3-part MONARCH Declassified documentary and the 4-part The Legendary Godzilla documentary. You can see the official cover artwork above left and also below. ~Warner sets Godzilla for 4K, plus Disney/Fox 4K surprises, more Universal 4K catalog & Hal Holbrook RIP

I don't have ATMOS but the thought of Godzilla coming from overhead is exciting.

I'm watching this eerie, positively gripping TNT original series via my FIOS subscription and it's also available as a 2 BD~V set. 10 Episodes and sonically enveloping. Superb Production values, as well.

Getting down with this DVD for Black History Month

I'm checking out the Dolby Digital 5.0 mix, getting my kicks with one of the all-time great concert flicks. I'm in the midst of the action–wildly immersive, not relying on sonic tricks, and the combo of music and pix keeping hope alive opening my eyes and taking me to new highs. This snippet from the first cited review says it all: "The soul pulsates, the funk percolates and every performance is faultless and powerful. As great as the movie looks, the acoustic elements are equally outstanding." Most highly recommended! Righteous! Stay Surrounded, Comrades!

Thanks Comrade Clement for this, just ordered, a little pricey, but your description was all I needed.

Since We lost Chick Corea, i've been revisiting one of my prized audio/video collections:

I first heard this on the SACD sampler, which made me know i HAD to have the whole collection, available on DVD. I waited long and patiently until i found it for $50 (made an offer–the packaging is damaged, but the discs are perfect)! What a jewel! I listen to the DTS 4.0 mix and it is truly transcendent! I'm right in the middle of sublime genius for hours and hours and hours–intimate, discrete, a real feast of sight and sound. Score this if you can! Long Live Corea! Return To Forever and Rest In Peace! Stay Surrounded, Comrades!

...Score this if you can!

Snagged this yesterday right after I read the news here.
Good to get affirmation it was worth the $80.

Also ordered The Mothership Returns RTF live DVD with Jean-Luc Ponty.

Abel Ferrara's KING OF NEW YORK [Arrow Video/Native UHD4K/HDR10/Dolby Vision/Remixed 5.1 Soundtrack]

Judas and the Black Messiah on HBO. The story behind the assassination of Fred Hampton. Just devastating.

Good score, built around Rahsaan Roland Kirk's "The Inflated Tear," by Mark Isham and Craig Harris. The 31-minute-long score album is streaming for free on YouTube & Amazon Music, though it shouldn't be confused with the "Soundtrack" album, which is also good, but (apart from H.E.R.'s "Fight For You," which plays over the movie's closing credits) is merely "inspired by" the film.

What's really notable about the film's music, though, is the rest of its score, which was produced with help from Jim Anderson & Ulrike Schwarz. Amazing tracklist, including tunes by Kirk, the Watts Prophets, Eddie Gale, and Horace Parlan. Mostly snippets, but the snippets have compellingly immersive Atmos mixes.

Might watch tonight. Is the movie good?

Really amazing performances, writing, cinematography, sets, music, editing, production values, the whole thing. And like I said: the story is just devastating.

Clement, do you also have the 2-SACD set gleaned from this box? If so, would you say that the DVD box uses the same mixes? (Great score, by the way! I had no idea this box existed. Got my antennae up for a good price. Would love to hear the full sets.)
