In the initial assault, commands are given over the radio while a droning, pulsing soundtrack builds the impending sense of dread. Two scenes particularly stand out, both occurring at the Annex, where the private military contractors (GRS) defend the compound from advancing militants. Michael Bay takes a change in direction from Transformers, telling the grittier and confronting story of the attack on the American diplomatic compound in Benghazi, Libya on September 11, 2012. It’s obvious a lot of work has gone into this soundtrack – the mix of atmospheric effects, creature noises and enveloping battle sounds bring you right into the action.ġ3 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi With the orcs in retreat, the audio landscape shifts to wolves and horses stampeding through the forest, and a showdown between Anduin and his prisoner orc and companion wolf. Medivh finally summons a spell to destroy the fel orcs, cracking the earth and emitting a wave that would have WoW fans giddy with excitement. Chains whip, branches snap and the over-sized wolves snarl with convincing menace. The orcs in particular have a weight and heft that transfers incredibly well thanks to the supporting LFE channel.

Hammer, axe and sword clash and the sound of steel rings loud throughout the room. As they march, howling can be heard in the distance, flies buzz annoyingly and fel magic crackles as Medivh examines the scene.īlackhand launches into the scene yelling “Lok’tar Ogar” from above as the orcs ambush the alliance, with war drums pounding away in the soundtrack. This particular scene takes place as the alliance forces are making their way through Elwynn forest to investigate and capture a prisoner for questioning in Stormwind.

Video-game movie adaptations have historically struggled over the years, however Universal have managed to successfully recreate the world that Blizzard have lovingly crafted over the years. It’s worth mentioning a slight spoiler warning for the following movies also. There’s plenty more out there, so let us know your favourite in the comments on our Facebook page. For those wondering, our Krix demo room is a 7.2.4 configuration, consisting of an MX-20 for the front soundstage, Phonix for side and rear surrounds and Phonix Flat for overhead effect speakers.
