The DTS-HD Master Audio 7.1-channel soundtrack is dynamic sounding with diverse atmospherics and sound effects. The sounds are effective in enhancing the comedic action. Sound effects are bolstered with bass transients and at times .1 LFE impact, especially during the transformation scenes. The music is is lively and upbeat, and a strong sound element that occupies a wide and deep soundstage that envelops the sound field. Surround energy is aggressive and spacious, particularly the club scene and concert performance with a lively audience. which fills the sound field. Dialogue is the primary focus and fired off often rapidly with a comedic punch. Generally, integration is good, even ADR. This is an humorous holosonic® soundtrack and delivers a lot of laughs.
