I have a new Dolby Atmos soundbar system coming next week and I need something to test it out with. I have Apple TV, Paramount, Amazon Prime, Peacock and Netflix.

Saving Private Ryan used to be a nice test (storming the beach).

It's a shame you don't have HBO. Bladerunner2049 and Dune: Part 2 have amazing audio mixing.

The mixing in the first Thor movie is fantastic.

The mixing in that animated movie Titan A.E. is damn near reference quality for dialing in a full surround sound system.

Interstellar - The first rocket launch sequence is an intense, room-shaking low-frequency test to see if your soundbar or subwoofer can handle massive bass without muddying the mid-range.

Some good suggestions in here, but the answer to this is always Heat.

I second Baraka.

It might not be the best movie in the world, but it's the epitome of putting sound systems to the test.

If you want to really test it, use a Blu Ray or DVD with uncompressed audio.

All streaming services massively compress the audio tracks. You are missing 30% of the sound.

He's using a soundbar. I'm not an audio snob or anything, but I don't think a theater experience is the expectation, just "yeah, that sounds pretty good on a challenging track".

Agreed, but it is still a massive difference even on a soundbar
