Nicknames: "The Science of Sensation", "Science" Trailer: We first see a pitch-black screen, but then we see the words "THE SCIENCE OF SENSATION" (in capital letters) coming at us each two words at a time (like the "Broadway 2000" trailer) and as a purple flare appears under the 'O', the words suddenly fade out by spreading apart. Then, the THX logo and the text "CERTIFIED CINEMA" appears, with a faint shine where the 'O' used to be. The logo shines with a flare coming down on the "T". WWW.THX.COM and the copyright at the bottom appear. Trivia: This trailer was originally created for use with digital cinema projectors, not only for the use of the tagline, but also include a flare so it can immerse the viewer with a sharper and cleaner picture in the auditorium before a film would start. Variant: Certified DVDs show "CERTIFIED DVD" under THX. FX/SFX: "THE SCIENCE OF SENSATION" text spreading out, the lens flare, and the THX logo shining. Music/Sounds: A remastered Deep Note, some shining sounds, and whooshes. In this remastered Deep Note, some voices are reminiscent of the newer ones from the Broadway 2000 version, and some of the voices reach their final pitches before the others do. Music/Sounds Trivia: The audio used in this trailer made an appearance in a parody in Over the Hedge. (the glimmer is heard briefly, if you listen closely.) Availability: Uncommon. After the logo first appeared to THX newsletter subscribers on May 11, 2005, it officially premiered on the theatrical release of Star Wars Episode III - Revenge of the Sith due to it being an all-digital production, and seen in some theaters for some time after. It can be seen on many DVD releases as well such as Titanic: Special Collector's Edition, Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith, and the Japanese DVD of Lorelei: The Witch of The Pacific Ocean (debut). The VHS version is limited to the rare Revenge of the Sith UK tape. Also used on the Monster Music DVDs of 3 Doors Down Away from the Sun and Peter Cincotti: Live in New York as well as the French DVD releases of Land of the Dead, Mr. and Mrs. Smith, Banlieue 13 (2 Disc Ultimate Edition), Danny the Dog (2 Disc Ultimate Edition) and Sin City. This also appears on the Monster Music SuperDisc DVDs of Ray Charles: Genius Loves Company, A Charlie Brown Christmas: Vince Guaraldi Trio and 40 Years: A Charlie Brown Christmas when you select the THX Optimizer option. This also makes a surprise appearance on the French DVD of Cinderella Special Edition. Legacy: On home media releases, it could catch people off-guard the first time if they were expecting the DVD version of the Broadway trailer thanks to the unsettling nature of the trailer. That said, it's one of the more unimpressive THX logos out there.
