    The DTS sound track is nice. This SicFi flick sent my wife and lil ones to bed quick, But I think it was the surround sound that made them more scared than the movie itself. Hearing the horn blowing from the machines was the icing on the cake. Over all very nice film, the pace was good through out the whole film and the quality of the transfer was very very good.

    There was two things about this movie that I didn't like. The characters annoyed the hell outa me(I don't like irrational adults and bad mouthed disrespectful bratty kids), and the overwhelming LFE.

    The LFE channel is supposed to give the mix punch and emphasis. In this movie it just overwhelms the other channels. Can't fix the character problem, but the LFE problem is fixable. Once I directed the LFE to my front L/R mains, everything snap right into place. I guess the combination of the overwhelming LFE+two high powered subs in two corners was adding to the problem.

    I loved the premise of this movie alot. I think Stephen did an excellent job remaking and adding his spin to it. Once the balance problem was taken care of I really enjoyed the soundtrack alot. Alot visual wow moments, the usual Spielberg film grain, and a fairly decent ending. I'll give it a 7.
