In the August 2007 issue of Post Magazine, Danny Boyle, in an interview on his movie Sunshine, says about sound:
"I actually feel it's 70 percent of a film. You turn the sound off on any film and most are unwatchable! They just don't work. It's extraordinary, and sound recordists get treated so badly on sets."
He continues:
"You watch any Pixar film and the sound is phenomenal! Everyone raves about the animation, and it's great, but the sound's staggering. It's because you can't see sound. Your eyes are so fast and powerful, that you can't trick them. They spot bad CG a mile away. The only ting that tricks you is sound, because the ears are blunt instruments. If you watch a CG film without sound, however good it is, you can spot the CG right away. But once sound's added, it gives the images weight and starts fooling the eyes."
