From a review of the Star Wars Blu-ray set, out this week. The video quality is very high, but the audio got the otherwise restrained reviewer to write:
"Yes, yes, and yes again. I don't even need to write up separate audio reviews for each of the films. You know why? Because these lossless DTS-HD Master Audio 6.1 surround tracks are perfect. Not perfect like, "Yeah, they seem generally true-to-source and, no, there's no muffling or anything," but perfect like, "Yes. Hell yes. This is what sci-fi should sound like." Perfect as in completely exemplary in all the ways you'd hope they'd be. Superlative. Grade-A. Certified Gold."
I suppose we should expect nothing less from Skywalker Sound, the best movie sound lab in the world and the home of THX. But it's still good to know they did it right.
I can't wait to hear them. I hope the neighbors don't mind.
