The 5 best Dolby Atmos Movie Scenes to Test your System

Dolby Atmos is an immersive sound format, that was originally designed for large movie theater speaker setups. However, thanks to the growing amount of Dolby Atmos content on streaming services and the popularity of Dolby Atmos enabled Soundbars, Dolby Atmos compatible setups can now be found in an increasing number of living rooms. If you are lucky enough to own a Dolby Atmos setup, or if you are planning on buying one, then here are 5 of the best Dolby Atmos Movie scenes that are guaranteed to give you the full 'Dolby Atmos' experience.

Thanks for this list because I never heard of Unbroken so I'm definitely going to have to pick it up! Anyway, a few movies that I use for demos that you didn't mentioned are the following.. 1) A Quiet Place: 45:46 - from the when the creature enters the house until fireworks go off 1:18:40 - Final sequence in the movie 2) Ghost in the Shell(2017): 26:00 - When the Major does a deep dive into a robot's memories. 46:46 - A fight sequence in shallow water 1:27:15 - Explosion and fight with a robot tank 3) Warcraft 0:00 - opening title sequence 23:42 - Fight with Orcs 56:19(Chapter 9) - Trench battle

[@YuriBrus]

Hello "Terminator Juice" thank you very much for your detailed recommendations. I'm sure that a lot of people, including myself, are helped a lot with this, and I promise I will check each one out. I'm just setting up another speaker system in our living room, so I am happy with all the test material I can get my hands on. Have a great weekend and best regards, Yuri

[@TerminatorJuice]

@@YuriBrus It's always good to have more reference demo material to show off what Atmos can do! I'll be curious to get your thoughts on the scenes I recommended, and know if any of them would make your top 5, so feel free to reply back afterward you listen to them. Everyone's system and rooms are different, and we'll all have preferences for what sounds good to our ears, so I'll take no offense if they don't blow you away. Cheers!

[@mr.richard3715]

NO ATMOS on NETFLIX !??

[@doublet147]

G vs K, is great for loud bass & effects. It sounds good. However, I wouldn't say it's reference. The audio engineering & sound design isn't quite up to the reference standard (it is slightly mid bass & mid treble heavy). It's still a must have for demos.

[@shaun1753]

Great list. These are all on my list of demos as well. One of my top demos is the movie Gravity (2013). You need to get the Diamond Luxe edition for the TrueHD Atmos track. Well worth it, when the fire breaks out in the I.S.S. amazing... Along with her re-entry to earth, the shuttle breaking up and on fire, debris flying past. I hope it gets released in 4k one day.

[@YuriBrus]

Hello Shaun, thanks for your positive feedback and the excellent recommendation on 'Gravity'. I promise to check out both scenes as soon as I get my hands on the Atmos version. Have a great day and best regards, Yuri.

[@sjsphotog]

Still waiting for Gravity to be widely released with the ATMOS BC and not just a 200$ impossible to get disc.

[@darthjerell1970]

Godzilla Vs. Kong!!! My wife,& I moved into our new place & I really got to know what our Sony STR-DH790 receiver can do. Along with Atmos speakers & 2 subwoofers both battle scenes between both monsters sound brutal. I strongly recommend this 4K as a reference disc. I totally agree with you about Blade Runner & Ready Player One.

[@YuriBrus]

Great recommendation 👍 👌 👏 My kids absolutely love that movie. Thank you 😊

[@lucasrem]

@@YuriBrus Yeah, Ready Player One was my first ATMOS movie on my Yamaha setup

[@Cheezwizzz]

Never heard of Unbroken, looks fantastic! I’m Atmos ready but the house I live in is rather old and the ceiling is a little dodgy to hang speakers from, I’m thinking of mounting on the wall above my screen. I just picked up a free KEF PSW2500, it’s old but compared to my last sub the KEF is unreal. Lately it developed a buzz, so I’m changing out all its capacitors, I’m no tech but I’am looking forward to resurrecting this beast!

[@lucasrem]

height speakers on Atmos, any above is good, wall is perfect.

[@timowthie]

Thanks for recommendations. Where do you get your uhd dolby atmos rips from?

[@ebroadnax1]

Tunnel scene in The Great Wall is pretty nice from the above speakers.

[@YuriBrus]

Cool, thanks for the tip! I will check it out. Have a great weekend and best regards, Yuri

[@sjsphotog]

Great list. I have a 7.2.4 setup. Definitely need to catch up on my UHD movies that I haven't gotten to yet but I do have most of these in my collections. Thanks. New sub

[@Micability]

Thanks for this good advices. Will test it soon. Question: are the Atmos Effects different between a Stream (prime f.e.) or an Ultra BD?

[@YuriBrus]

Hello and thank you for your positive feedback and question. Yes, via streaming the Atmos sound is delivered via compressed dolby digital plus. If you play an original or bluray rip, you are likely to get Atmos via Dolby True HD, which is uncompressed and should theoretically sound better. It all depends on the quality of the setup, though, if you can actually hear a difference.

[@linkdiablo4476]

Stream usualy use dolby digital or dolby digital +, not true HD

[@victhebric66]

Best movie to watch with your sound system is Godzilla (2014). The absolute best version to watch is the Blu Ray physical copy (not streaming) as the sound in physical movies are much higher quality. If your watch Godzilla paired with a Dobly Atmos sound system, you will immediately feel immersed in the earth shattering sound and the roars of Godzilla. I 100% absolutely recommend it, you won't be disappointed.

[@YuriBrus]

Okay, you just convinced me to get the original Bluray version of Godzilla and watch it again ☺️

[@JrandApril03]

With so much streaming now and days, do you get the same quality of sound from that platform? Or do you have to go old school with Blu-ray’s?

[@YuriBrus]

With streaming, you will only be able to get Atmos over Dolby Digital Plus. A Bluray, or a proper rip, will get you Dolby True HD with Atmos. With a good setup, Dolby True HD will sound much better.

[@KenyaGraham]

I would like to know what media are you using to watch these movies. I saw that you had an Nvidia Shield with Dolby TrueHD and one of your clips. Are you using a Plex server or actual DVDs or streaming? How are you getting Dolby TrueHD with your Nvidia Shield? I'm assuming it's not via streaming.

[@YuriBrus]

Hello and thank you for your question. That's correct, I mainly use the Shield to playback Bluray rips that I have stored on an externaldrive. I can also use a NAS for that, but I find that connecting a drive directly to the Shield is the most reliable option.

[@pip4free80]

Great stuff, exactly what I was looking for! 👏

[@YuriBrus]

Thanks 😊. Glad you liked it. 👍

[@mikebass2700]

The series "The Expanse" is totally amazing for Dolby Atmos. You won't be disappointed!!!

[@YuriBrus]

Cool, thanks for the tip. I will try to find a copy of that. Netflix here doesn't feature that. Have a great weekend and best regards, Yuri.

[@duncanrathband5492]

It's on Amazon Prime folks, at least where I live. Do it, it's the best gritty sci-fi series since Battlestar Galactica (2003).

[@vitalie787]

I know focal makes some really good audiophile speakers...but do you really get that immersive experience feel with those small 3 inch upward firing drivers? Or for a small room... is enough... I mean the sound has to reach the ceiling and bounce back....

[@YuriBrus]

Hello Vitalie, I also have a Klipsch Reference Premier 5.1.2 speaker setup with downfiring speakers, and in direct comparison, the height effects with the Focal setup sound more diffused. This is not necessarily a bad thing since it still creates a very nice three-dimensional soundstage. The Atmos effects are definitely there, although it seems more like they are coming from above the screen instead of directly from above your head.

[@carcar5911]

Transformers 4k is my goto for showing off my system. Pretty much ant of the action scenes sound amazing.

[@YuriBrus]

Excellent recommendation, thank you for sharing 👍 😀

[@gralen]

I have only one of those movies and that is Ready Player One. I have to figure out how to get my atmos speakers working because I get a error message on my Yamaha receiver when I get atmos

[@bradfordhamilton3021]

Unbroken is great. Even the Blu-ray version has Atmos.

[@larrycole1991]

Blurays have Atmos? I was wondering because I thought only 4K has Atmos and Unbroken is only on Blu-ray, so how does he claim it's Atmos.... Thank you I'll do some more digging.

[@YuriBrus]

Yeah, a lot of 1080p movies have Atmos. It's been around longer than one would think. I think that Disney's BRAVE was the first movie to come with Atmos.

[@totalplonker824]

I just watched the movie 'the ritual' and the low-frequency effects are phenomenal when coming through my rel subwoofers, sorry it's not mixed in atmoss but hey once one has seen all the worthwhile Atmos movies, it's time for one to open up ones horizons!

[@YuriBrus]

Cool, thanks. Will check that one out. Is it the 2017 version?

[@ymmij1973]

Yes yes yes on the ritual! Just sounded great in general. Creepy movie to

[@totalplonker824]

If I can name one movie that's not just a great film (cult classic) but also has one of the best soundtracks I've ever heard, is the great John Carpenter's 'escape from New York' if you got good subwoofers prepared to be blown away 😁
