    Are the visuals any different than what we have already seen on YouTube? 

    I don't think so.  I only watched the youtube videos once, but they look the same.  Superblood wolfmoon is the animated music video.

    Wouldn’t worry too much about it.  Its a well done album length music video but if you weren’t planning to spend the money, don’t do it for this.   It’s well done.  And very cool.  But I’m sure you’ll see it elsewhere in time.  Just listen the the album and watch a cool video and you’ll be fine.  

    If you were planning to get Apple TV anyway, then yeah, this is cool.  But don’t make this out to be more than it is. 

    Edit - I should caveat.  If you have the set up to take advantage of the sound then it is a cool extra.  I assume most people don’t.  And even then not sure it’s worth. Would have been cool to see in the theater to really take advantage of the intended experience.

    You don't really have to pay for it.  It's free for the first 7 days.   I'm going to watch this, and the beastie boys doc and cancel it.

    My son just watched the whole thing with me. He was so transfixed by the visuals I don’t think he realised that I was brainwashing him into the world of PJ!

    I was able to watch it on my Fire stick on this TV. But could only get Dolby Digital Surround, not true Atmos. I have Ia 9.1 Atmos setup, 5 floor with 4 in the ceiling. I also have a fire stick 4K in my bedroom, I assume I need that instead??

    Cool.  Except that did cost you.  It’s an opportunity cost.   There may be something better you’d have been better off using that for at some point.  To each their own. Enjoy!

    haha I accept your argument of opportunity cost.  I wonder what show I'll miss out on the future.

    Has this been officially confirmed?

    I’m having the worst luck trying to get this to play on my tv.  3 fire sticks and apparently none of them can get the Apple TV app.  An LG OLED smart tv that supports Atmos and it won’t get the app until later this year.  An actual old school Apple  TV 2nd generation that can’t get the Apple TV app because for whatever reason only gen 3 and up can get it (WTF Apple).  And the Apple TV app won’t let me mirror from the iPad even though I can mirror everything else.  I’m usually pretty tech savvy but this one is torturing me.

    The thing I find challenging about the firestick is finding a specific app.  It seems to lack a search function.  On the other hand you can go to the amazon website, search for the app, and buy it for zero dollar and tell it to install to your firestick.  That's the easy way :)

    Ya'll can bag on Apple all you want, last night I watched and listened to this record in Atmos on headphones and the show in Dolby Vision and it blew my mind. There were so many elements of this record not clearly represented on just the physical album. If you have the ability to hear it in Atmos on headphones, you will be destroyed. Trust me.

    Apple has nothing to do with the Atmos production.

    I wasn't super impressed with the surround sound, didn't seem like much from the rears. Also wished the video was 4k.

    Have they said that it'll be available to rent / buy after the free viewing period ends?

    It will be surely available elsewhere after they get off the 'exclusive' Crapple promotion.

    i 100% disagree with your statement. my atmos setup (7.1.2) goes ape shit with the rears.

    My crappy old 5.1 home theater in a box setup produced awesome sounds all around. I wasn’t expecting much out of this, but I was pretty impressed. I can only imagine what this sounded like on a proper atmos setup.

    @mr_perfect curious what setup you have. I'm looking to upgrade from an almost non-existent audio setup into a decent one that would last for some years. I was wondering if it's worth it to get an Atmos setup vs something like Sonos 5.1.
