Warner Bros.' superb Dolby TrueHD 5.1 mix created for the Blu-ray was obviously a reference point for this new Dolby Atmos remix, and from that perspective the general overview of its many benefits can be found at the linked review. In short, it's an extremely active mix that's precise and aggressive yet appropriately nuanced during quieter moments. Atmos obviously adds more precision due to the object-based formatting and height channels which get plenty to do at key moments, but there's one problem: it's slightly overcooked and even borders on mild "brickwalling" during several stretches. Any music lovers who understand "the loudness wars" should know what that means... but for those that don't, the Atmos mix's volume levels are clearly higher than optimal levels by about 5dB which means that its loudest moments sound slightly blown-out. This seems to notably affect the lower end more than anything and can be partially smoothed over with a few slight adjustments, but it's still worth a full point deduction. Of course, this could have also been somewhat remedied by including the original mix as a DTS-HD 5.1 Master Audio option but sadly Warner Bros. didn't do that. (The studio has made progress in the audio department in recent years, but this is one example where they're going backwards.) That said, it's still a largely enjoyable mix yet one with room for improvement.
