This has to be one of the best sound tracks I've heard to date. Not to mention a damn good movie The placement of sounds is right where they should be and the Bass will shake your chair. This is a must own.(or the box set will be) Let me know what you think

3 1/2 hours long for a movie? Terrible! It’s a bad movie.

Just kidding. I saw it in the theater and loved it.
I’m waiting for DVD extended edition which will take another 6 months and haven’t seen the one came out yesterday, so I wanted to ask you this. Did you see it in the theater? If you did, how would you compare the soundtrack of theater versus this DVD?

I don't think I've been to the theater in maby 3yrs. Our local theater is priced to high for the poor condition it is in. Now if someone would open up a drive-in again you couldn't keep me away

Yes, and I preferred the theater sound to the dvds. it was a little more encompassing and immersive. granted more speakers and louder will do that, but it is a good one none the less.

IMHO, most theaters are not in excellent audio condition. It's a business, not an audiophile's dream. All they need to do is get paying customers to come through the door and all they have to do to do that is not disappoint the average Joe/Jane. While I have not seen the third Rings DVD yet, almost without exception I think my HT with DVD has outperformed any regular theater I have been to in years.

I agree bb4tb.. My wife has said that she likes the sound of our setup better than movie theaters...

I haven't seen the 3rd LOTR on dvd either and I'm trying to make myself wait for a box set or something otherwise I will have bought all 3 movies twice

Lasher, could you fix the title to say the soundtrack? I think a lot of people are getting confused and seem to think the movie is out now.

There's only one theater that I like in my area. It costs a lot though. I don't know how much longer I can get away with using my student ID either.

After being into audio for a little while I can't believe how bad some of the theaters are!

Actually, it came out yesterday (unless you have the willpower to ignore the theatrical release and wait for the Extended Edition this fall). I'd offer my thoughts on the DVD, but I didn't have a chance to watch it last night. The supertrailer on disc 2 was pretty fun, though.

The movie is out JT and worth seeing/hearing

I saw it in the theater with my 9-year old son....it was his second time seeing it! We are on the waiting list at the library to get the DVD when thay have it. The only problem is my main TV is dead and I have a 20" RCA filling in. The first two movies sound great over the system, so I'd imagine this one to be every bit as spectacular!
