At around 0:30:38 you get a perfect shot – Kong awaiting the arrival of his foes, bathed in rich orange tones. The low-register thwump of their blades starts surround left, moves to the LCR and then continues to roam piercing strings in the score ramp up the tension. Kong stands silhouetted in front of the sun, helicopters heading towards him. Now we segue into Chapter 4, and you can see why there's a Chapter break here as it begins one of 2017's greatest movie moments. This scene builds to an LFE climax as Kong roars. Kong's mighty paw heaves into view, swatting the chopper and instigating an aural storm of screeching metal, whirring blades, alarm beeps and yelping airmen, the soundfield pivoting around you as the craft spins. It's a surprise for the characters and the viewer, and the jolt is helped by the Sabbath track coming to a halt and a dramatic silence briefly filling your room, before the downed 'copter heads across the screen in slow-mo, backed up a delightful bass throb and the return of Ozzy and co. The scene is set through the strains of Black Sabbath's Paranoid (one of many classic '70s tunes layered through the K:SI soundtrack), as the expedition starts its bomb-dropping experiments.Ī barrage of explosions around 0:28:43 ripple through the soundfield, some around your seating position, Tony Iommi's guitar solo comes to a climax and then… a flying palm tree takes out the chopper. For a sure-fire hit that'll wow visitors to your media room, I can't think of anything better than this sequence from Kong: Skull Island – the Blu-ray offers Atmos/TrueHD 7.1 or DTS-HD 5.1 mixes.Ĭhapter 3 is where the magic starts, beginning at 0:27:11 – this sequence runs into the following Chapter, so you could use that as a starting point (but you will miss out on some monkey action.). An all-out assault on the senses that you can use to showcase everything that's so great about your AV setup. Sometimes, you want a demo to be fun and in-yer-face. Members of Team HCC pick the HDR torture tests, surround sound champions, subwoofer slammers and 3D showcases that get permanent residence on the disc shelf.
