'''FX/SFX''': The sphere, as well as it shattering, the thunder, the shards liquefying and merging, the blue box is drawn, and the text fading. Just top-notch CGI all around.

'''Music/Sounds''': First, we hear the sounds of rainfall, and then thunderclaps/electric shocking sounds, followed by glass shattering, then the Deep Note. A laser-like sound is heard as the rectangle is formed. It also can be heard in PAL pitch if you have a PAL DVD with this logo.

'''Music/Sounds''': A variety of instruments playing in sync with each plant, performed by Lost in the Sky. This ends with a less noisy version of the Deep Note, accompanied by the swoosh. Unlike the previous THX trailers, the music starts at the ending note (blended into the background instrumentation at first) and comes to a quick end rather than fading out smoothly. Mixed by Gary A. Rizzo at Skywalker Sound.

'''Availability''': Seen in most THX theaters, where it debuted before ''Enchanted''<!--Unsure if this is accurate-->, and THX DVDs/Blu-rays from 2008-2012 such as ''Star Wars: The Clone Wars'' and ''Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of The Crystal Skull''. On ''Avatar'', ''Red Tails'', and ''Star Wars: The Prequel Trilogy'' (Blu-ray only), it appears at the end. Available online as well.

'''Availability''': Can be found on the ''THX Calibrator'' disc, 3D movies in cinemas and 3D Blu-ray releases, like the 3D Blu-ray of ''Avatar'' (to date, the very last certified THX home media release with logos on it). Said to have debuted on ''Tangled'', though some sources contend its actual debut was before ''Tron: Legacy''.

'''Availability''': Debuted online. Most likely seen in theaters with newer movies like ''Furious 7''. The normal 30-second variant has been reported to have been seen on ''Terminator Genisys''. The Razer variant was only seen as a promotional video on Vimeo titled "THX Is Evolving" (however, it could possibly hint at future usage for THX-certified products). The 60-second variant is extinct and was only used in the Warren chain of cinemas.

'''Editor's Note''': The logo gained notably for the much louder deep note, and thus is sometimes thought to be the scariest THX trailer of them all due to this (especially the Warren Cinemas variant).

'''Music/Sounds''': Sounds accompanying the environments, along with descending sounds invoking the Deep Note. When we start panning through the space station, we hear the 2005 Deep Note, with multiple stop-starts during the early stages. The stop-starts get faster and faster until the Deep Note converges into a single sound.

'''Variants''': At the THX Ultimate Cinema, once we see the THX logo it continues to zoom away and a blue box surrounds it, the text "ULTIMATE CINEMA" fades in, then it fades to black.
