Cytat:A quick glance at this 4K's only main audio option -- DTS-HD 5.1 Master Audio -- might seem like a downgrade from the Blu-ray's 7.1 mix, but that's not correct at all. In fact, that previous 7.1 mix was reportedly altered from earlier releases including of course the original theatrical 5.1 and featured changes such as minor panning boosts, a few scraps of missing incidental dialogue -- such as disparaging remarks against Pitt's character on his way to the "Greed" crime scene -- and, perhaps most blatantly, a ton of reverb and boosting to the opening credits' unforgettable version of Nine Inch Nails' "Closer". The good news is that this total remix was created by original sound designer Ren Klyce using the original audio stems and apparently is closer in tone to its theatrical counterpart... and while those previous changes are now "back to normal" or at least less noticeable, the missing "Greed" dialogue is still gone. But in all other respects this is a truly well-crafted track and one created with home theaters in mind, utilizing strong dynamic range but still mixed in a way that won't have you reaching for your remote during every other scene. From crisp dialogue to creeping discrete effects and the original score by Howard Shore (which shares at least a little in common with his music for The Silence of the Lambs), it's a sonic knockout that sounds as good as ever. Maybe even better.
