Author Topic: Jurassic Park 3 EX Mix Chase Taylor Expert Film Handler Posts: 175 From: Troy, Alabama, USA Registered: Mar 2001 posted 07-18-2001 05:15 PM                        I was so happy to hear a movie use Surround EX as well as Jurassic Park 3 did. It actually made me glad I purchased a SA-10. I got our SA-10 for Star Wars and put it in our THX theatre. When the THX tech came to re-certify our theatre he ran Jungle Noise through and I was amazed and when Star Wars got here I thought I had wasted my money , now I don't once I heard Jurassic Park 3. Hopefully the trend in good EX sound will continue.  |  IP: Logged John Walsh Film God Posts: 2490 From: Connecticut, USA, Earth, Milky Way Registered: Oct 1999 posted 07-18-2001 10:10 PM                     Well, more channels are a good thing, but I think the general opinion is that the $2600 (or so, including labor and parts, etc.) for an EX unit is better spent on other things. If all your other sound and picture equipment is up-to-date; sure why not. But if you've got lenses that are over 20 years old; a screen that saw, "Apocolypse Now" the first time around; projectors that shutter-ghost; can't make 16fL of brightness on screen; etc., etc., than fix those first.  |  IP: Logged Brian Hogan Expert Film Handler Posts: 119 From: Charlotte, North Carolina, USA Registered: Jul 2001 posted 07-20-2001 03:03 AM                     too bad they couldnt find a better movie to make better sounding, eh? -hogan  |  IP: Logged
