The information volume of Dolby Atmos is huge, it can not only strengthen the level and intensity of the story in the picture, but also help the audience to understand the space beyond the picture, let you be there, let you see more."

The sound director of BROTHERHOOD OF BLADES II: THE INFERNAL BATTLEFIELD Wang Gang said: "Dolby Atmos gives a larger creative space to the narrative of the film, which can perfectly present the director\'s creative intentions for each scene, bringing new viewing experience to the audience. Take the battlefield atmosphere in the movie as an example. The battlefield looks quiet, but you can hear the sound of the flame, the sound of the horse walking, the horse breathing, the soft wind, and even the sound of the snow, very delicate, make the audience feel like they are truly in the film."
