As the resident “Changes” guy, even I have to say that this may be a bit much.
Are we 1000000% sure that he gave a “bleep bloop” in every version of the 2D, 3D, 3D IMAX, 15/70 IMAX out there? That doesn’t even count the different sound mixes. Or that perhaps the promo copy doesn’t have the ATMOS sound folded down correctly? Or if it’s just the person’s sound system on which it was viewed?
Every single version? Who knows, but I saw the film in 2D, 3D and 3D IMAX and they all had that “bleep bloop”.
Obviously there’s no way to tell whether the lack of an audio clip in that particular scene can be chalked up to other variables with the promo or sound system itself, and we won’t know for sure until a week from now, but I’ve got my money on it being a definite change, and it’s curious to say the least.
