It is a big milestone in our efforts to mix local-language films in Dolby Atmos and enhance the cinematic experience for Chinese moviegoers, said Mike Chao, Managing Director, Dolby Laboratories, Greater China. Dolby Atmos is one of Dolbys most significant innovations in years and represents the future for entertainment sound. It gives content creators a new dimension for storytelling and helps transport audiences right into the onscreen adventure with a lifelike, sensory experience.
