Fifth Element | Location: | ZF1 (Chapter 15) |
| Features: | Great 3D localisation of sound + effects | | Description: | Great scene. You can hear all the effects of the ZF1 flying around you (the net laucher goes THROUGH YOU !). Plus the switch from the echoing sound when gary oldman talks to the plain sound when Mila Jovovitch shows up is perfect. And of course, the ending explosion in the scene gives some work to your subwofer. Give it a try ! | |

Final Destination 2 | Location: | DTS-ES Chapter 2 |
| Features: | Awsome crash scene. | | Description: | This was the first DTS-ES disk that I played on my new 6.1 setup and I cannot find another scene on any DVD to rival the effects and sounds of the big crash scene. Lots of cars, trucks a motorbike and a bus with loads of fire, explosions, broken glass and crushing metal make this a scene to justify the money you spent on a 6.1 amp and speakers!!! | |
