BRWC was lucky enough to be invited to an exclusive screening of episode 9 of season 2 of Game of Thrones – the Battle of Blackwater in Dolby Atmos Sound a few weeks ago.

Here at BRWC we’ve definitely got our Thrones on – what with an exclusive invite to the world premier of episode 1 of season 5 early in the year, and now this invite to see again Emmy award winning episode of the Battle of Blackwater in season 2. That was a pivotal battle in Game of Thrones and certainly the best episode to showcase the impressive and immersive sounds and sights of the battle that you could experience in your living room with Dolby Atmos.

It’s all about sound right now in cinema as it should be. After all it is not just the image that pulls you in when watching a film but the sound that captivates and awakens the other senses. Dolby Atmos is immersive and cinemas across the country have had it since 2012 but what about having that immersive experience at home. Well, the wait will finally be over on Monday 26 October as seasons 1 and 2 of Game of Thrones have received the Dolby Atmos sound treatment and you can buy the Steelbook collectors editions. It is the first television series to receive the Dolby Atmos treatment. I predict watching a box set will never be the same again.

Yes, I hear you say that sounds splendid but is it worth investing in new kit when the sound on my tv is just fine?

Yes it is.

Go on and treat yourself to a Dolby Atmos enabled AV receiver. However, your regular tv will still be fine. The steelbooks have received the Dolby Atmos sound treatment so your current tv will sound a little sharper but, why not buy the kit and feel as if you are standing next to Tyrion Lannister on the battlements trying to stem the onslaught from Stannis Baratheon’s men.

The sound is incredible. When the archers shot their flame lit arrows across the castle battlements
the sound was crystal clear. I almost felt as I was there. I am almost tempted to go out and upgrade my sound system.

Still undecided – click on this link and watch a clip of Game of Thrones in Dolby Atmos:

The limited edition Steelbooks will be available to purchase on Amazon for the suggested pricing of 22.99 (HD) on Monday 26 October.
