Hey folks - I have an Atmos project that I'm working on with the help of Trinnov. I'm looking to pull together a collection of Atmos films and would like some input from the community on what they think are the best Atmos films to date. A film can be Blu-ray or 4K BD. Doesn't matter... but, obviously, it must have a Dolby Atmos track that you appreciate. The quality of a movie's plot, visuals, etc are inconsequential.

So, what are your favorite Atmos films purely from an audio perspective?
 
Oh man! Trinnov! That's awesome... looking forward to your thoughts

Lucy
Monster Hunter
Sonic The Hedge Hog 2
Morbius
Pacific Rim
 
That’s a healthy list, thanks for sharing. I haven’t watched Morbius… or Monster Hunter!
 
If you are interested in a recent release title free of the standard car crashes, explosions, superheroes, starships, etc, (you know, one that DJ would never even attempt to watch. :bigsmile:) my wife picked up Tár a few days ago via Kaleidescape. We watched it twice in the theaters and once this week at home. The Atmos is very impressive for this particular genre of film. In particular, there are maybe 2-3 hardcore turn-your-head-what-the #@# were those sound moments. Very impressive.

I’ll add A Quiet Place and Midway to the list.
 
Interesting. Great Atmos doesn't necessarily have to come from brainless action movies!
 
Overlord
Godzilla vs. Kong
Deepwater Horizon
Mad Max Fury Road
Alita Battle Angel
Moonfall

Deepwater is on my list. Probably should also definitely include Alita!
 
Lone Survivor (mountain gun battle)
Gravity (opening)
 
Gravity is my #1... Lone Survivor is a good one!
 
Ready Player One
Ford vs Ferrari
Nobody
Baby Driver
Spider Man: Homecoming
 
Hacksaw Ridge (he first big battle)
John Wick 2 (the tunnel fight)
Hans Zimmer - Live in Prague (my favorite is The Pirates of the Caribbean)
 
I would also add The Eternal Daughter. The Amos was outstanding in the cinema. It is also available via K for home viewing. Perfect pre holiday ghost story.
