What I mean to say is that it's not as loud as a concert.
Well that's a different point entirely lol, my bad. Still worth noting though.

ITT everyone on GAF has tinnitus
Getting hearing damage due to war is one thing, but you should not have to experience ear damage watching a movie.
As someone who has ear damage/slight hearing loss along with my entire family due to the war, I would not want anyone to experience this just for "immersion".
Thank you for the warning OP.
Yeah... this is why I don't really like the cinema that much.
Because there one movie that has loud ass sounds every, like, 10 minutes?
c'mon its a bit more frequent than that
I go to the cinema all the time and I can't remember the last time the sound system hurt my ears.
i can't believe directors choose to focus on different things when making a movieWho cares about plot, character or historical background/insight when we can blow out the audience's eardrums for the sake of 'immersion'.
The dogfights are almost vertigo inducing with all the camera rotating on such a big screen haha, it's amazing.Fuck all the stealth bragging about seeing the 70mm IMAX version. The closest theater with that projector it's 8 hrs away.

It felt like I was actually experiencing a war happening around me. Shit was amazing.
oh god no, please tell me its not like interstellar where there is a dead silent scene and for some odd reason the subwoofer is blasting like crazy due to a low hz signal being sent through
Yeah I LOVED the audio experience it was insanely amazingIt felt like I was actually experiencing a war happening around me. Shit was amazing.
So is this just a problem with Imax or are regular showings also super loud?
Lol at those claiming it won't damage your ears. No wonder so many people suffer from tinnitus.
Objectively speaking, sustained or repeated sounds over 85db will damage your hearing. A normal theater experience will definitely go above this.
Dunkirk was so loud it was causing pain. The pain threshold for hearing is about 120db. Your also causing instant permanent hearing damage.
You may not agree, but this is how sound and hearing works.
Dunkirk did not damage my ears, the person I was with covered her ears once and a while, but in general, I thought it was loud, but not ear-shattering loud.
There's pretty much non-stop war action. But not usually traditional combat scenes. Mostly survival scenarios like being trapped in a sinking ship, stuff like that. There's a lot of aerial dogfighting too.
If the person you were with had to cover her ears from time to time, then it was too loud and I guarantee it was over 85db.
One of the guys on the avforums took his decibel meter. The IMax is running an average of 89dB, while it peaks at 110db.
The regular theater version is apparently about 5dB lower across the board.
Trying way too hardListen up nerds, your puny ears are the sacrifice that must be paid so that Nolan can make ART.
One DB = one ART point.
No DBs, NO ART.
Trying way too hard
the sound mix is loud on purpose, because war is fucking loud- airplanes, gunfire, big ass boats, etc. it's part of the film. wait for the blu ray if you don't like it.
personally i thought it was the best part of the experience.
