Three Blu-ray titles featuring Dolby Atmos soundtracks were announced this week. Paramount Pictures will release Hercules on November 4 and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles on December 16. Lionsgate announced the November 4 release of Step Up All In on Blu-ray.

Dovetailing with this week’s Blu-ray release of Transformers: Age of Extinction, the first movie with a Dolby Atmos soundtrack, Dolby has produced a behind-the-scenes testimonial video featuring Greg P. Russell, the re-recording mixing engineer. The video is available here.

“I was absolutely astounded with the home theater version in Dolby Atmos—all the imagery was dead-on and, sonically, it had the exact same experience as the cinema,” Russell says.
