I'm a bit disappointed that it isn't in 7.1 but I'm sure I can live with it somehow.

The back story and the deleted scenes are certainly interesting. Can't wait!

I didn't realize it wasn't 7.1 but it's not a biggie for me as I have enjoyed the many 5.1 Dolby TrueHD and DTS HD movies. We're not really going to be suffering THAT much.

I agree totally Falcon. My point was that a movie which was THAT big SHOULD have been released in 7.1. I will enjoy it just as much in 5.1.

Steve,

I believe Paramount released "Star Trek" in 5.1 to theaters, didn't they? The theatrical soundtracks to almost all movies these days are in 5.1. For a 7.1 disc track, the studio either has to go back to the original sound elements and recreate a new soundtrack using two more rear channels, or the studio does what any 7.1 receiver also does and artificially simulates the two rear channels.

In any case, if you have your 7.1 receiver set for emulating rear channels (as Dolby Pro Logic II does), I doubt there would be too much difference. Yeah, it's always better for the studio to do it for us, one way or the other, and their putting the number "7.1" on the box also helps sell the product. But we'll see.

as with any "star trek" product, this title will be re-released to death. the old movies were released with 7.1 audio tracks, so guess what? when the sequel is ready for theatres, this one will be re-released with "RE-MASTERED 7.1 AUDIO".
