MAD MAX 2’s 4K release opted to use a new Dobly Atmos Sound Mix. Im a purist, and prefer the Dobly Stereo sound mix, though I will say their heart is in the right place to try to make this action packed film sound awesome, however in doing so, some things are lost. The music was prominent in the Dobly Stereo and eventually the 5.1 mix. This new 7.1 Atmos and regular Remixed 7.1 track drowns out the music. Not to mention in tradition with other remixes that try to make the film sound better, the sound effects are replaced/changed. Initial releases of this edition also included the “Original Stereo”(That was a lie and was just a 2.0 down mix of the 7.1!). Later releases quickly fixed this.
I understand it must be a challenge to take analog sound and digitally get the same result. So many small details! Scratching, hissing, and popping on the audio is not what was intended. Film and Video Tape deteriorate like crazy.
