Knights Of The Zodiac

"Knights Of The Zodiac" brings the Saint Seiya saga to life with live-action for the first time. Seiya (Mackenyu), a headstrong street teen, spends his time fighting for cash while he searches for his abducted sister. When one of his fights unwittingly taps into mystical powers he never knew he had, Seiva finds himself thrust into a world of warring saints, ancient magical training and a reincarnated goddess who needs his protection. If he is to survive, he will need to embrace his destiny and sacrifice everything to take his rightful place among the Knights Of The Zodiac. (Gary Reber)

The DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1-channel soundtrack is dynamic sounding throughout. Atmospherics are realistic sounding. Sound effects are often quite powerful and supported with deep, powerful bass that can extend to sub-25 Hz frequencies. TYoshihiro Ike's orchestral score is a dominant sound element that occupies a wide and deep soundstage with aggressive surround extension. Surround energy is powerful and often directional for an exiting enveloping soundfield experience. Dialogue is intelligible with generally good spatial integration. This is an excitingly dynamic and aggressive holosonic® soundtrack that is often reference quality. (Gary Reber)
