I actually know a guy in that situation. He plays his HT VERY loud.

Some guys like it super loud. Personally, I wonder how their hearing will hold up.

I don't want to give the impression I'm against wide dynamics in movies. I actually enjoy it, and I never turn on dynamic compression. I like impressive bass. My subwoofer has 8 15 inch drivers, and literally kicks ass on some material. I just think IMAX goes overboard.

Earplugs are a solution, but they're not all that comfortable, and it seems like they greatly affect the frequency balance. I'm just not going to go to IMAX.

Where I work, a great deal of attention is paid to health and safety issues. I actually looked into whether IMAX levels exceed long term exposure limits for sound. It appears they don't, but coming out of a theater with one's ears ringing doesn't sound healthy.

Thanks for affirming that, guys. It matches my experience watching Interstellar, which was the last time I was in an Imax theater. I can't see myself going to one again.

Finally saw this, and have been digesting what I saw while reading this thread. My thoughts: It has some impressed visuals (giant interactive ads, landscapes, etc.) The dreaded teal/orange ugliness rears its inundating cliche head, but it's not as pervasive as I had feared. It's VERY loud in...

Even the posters are slathered in orange and teal. So ridiculous.

It's not my contention that this look is being dictated, any more than it was dictated that many women get butt implants simply because of the popularity of Kim Kardashian. I say it's a fashion, a trend, an example of herd thinking, and I find it very very tiresome...

Sorry, I don't buy that the look is based on the "individual needs of the story". The fact that it slavishly (and to an extreme extent) follows the "gotta have teal and orange, gotta have teal and orange" mantra says otherwise. The Matrix example I gave, OTOH, IS an example of a color scheme...

It's not a leftover from the film world. There are umpteen examples of color films that don't have the ridiculous teal and orange push prior to it becoming so fashionable, essentially de rigueur for a lot of filmmakers. That it's become so commonplace, and so extreme (as seen in the trailer)...

:P Nah, it's just another example of Hollywood's idiotic infatuation with the teal and orange color scheme.

I have to say that the color palette of the movie annoys the hell out of me. Talk about slavishly following the seemingly never ending fascination with teal and orange. The trailer is just awash with it.
