Dolby Atmos will put movie surround sound above your head

As if 3D picture at the movies wasn’t enough, get ready for cinema sound that truly surrounds you – even above your head.

Dolby has recently introduced Atmos, a new movie theater sound system. According to Dolby, Atmos “provides full creative freedom for filmmakers and ensures that you’ll hear the soundtracks exactly as their creators intended.”

For filmmakers, details matter—a lot. And Dolby Atmos gives filmmakers full creative control over the placement and movement of sound around the audience. This completely new level of artistic freedom enables precise matching of audio to onscreen action.

Dialogue follows characters. Sound effects track with camera pans. Ambient sounds envelop you. For the first time, you’ll hear the whole picture.

For some theaters, the future is already here. You can check out The Hobbit and other new releases in Dolby Atmos sound at select theaters.
