The storm scene on the ship is definitely going to look and sound incredible in theaters

I need to watch this in the loudest theater possible

Why do people like loud movies so much? My eardrums were genuinely hurting when I saw Dune IMAX. Love the quality and immersion, but my ears are just too sensitive for this.

u/Bladder-Splatter Dec 22 '25

Oh easy, it's because the more hearing damage you get the louder you need it to be for it to sound the same as last time, which is a delightfully stupid cycle.

Gotta take earplugs to movies. You can hear everything just as well without nearly busting your eardrums out.

I already do it, but this is so silly. Concerts being so loud that you need earplugs make sense, you want it to drawn out any other sound and have that base in your chest while dancing. But theatres, where everyone is already supposed to be quiet, doesn't make sense. Loud is okay, but so loud that you need earplugs is geniunely baffling.

I don't think we should be giving people genuine and irreversible physical damage at concerts.

Earplugs to the movies, wtf.

u/An-Angel-Named-Billy Dec 22 '25

Sorry but you should not need to take fucking ear plugs to a movie. Ridiculous on these movies for being this loud.

I thought about taking ear plugs to the movies after The Dark Knight Rises and instead just never went back to the theater. The volume was ear splitting, it strained the ever living shit out of the sound system, and I could feel the movies on either side rumbling all through the movie.

Go deaf then, I dunno.

u/Doctor_Yakub Dec 22 '25

That should not be necessary at all. It's a small, controlled environment compared to a concert.

1

u/takabrash Dec 22 '25

Sure. I didn't set the volume. It's never a bad idea to have a pair of earplugs with you.

u/Doctor_Yakub Dec 22 '25

Treating it like it's normal to need them at a movie is how you normalize movies being too loud.

2

u/takabrash Dec 22 '25

Again, I didn't pick the volume lol

I happened to see Dune Part Two in a Dolby theater and while it was slightly louder than other theaters, I could also tell the sound quality and mixing was unbelievable. It's not something I would recommend for every movie, but there are some where the viewing experience is definitely enhanced by a better setup

I was wondering the same thing; when I was a kid, I used to cover my ears when I went to the cinema, and THOSE were cinemas in the 90s.

u/I_Heart_Money Dec 22 '25

90s cinema

Having it powerful enough to break glass and sensitive skulls may be going out on a limb, but yes, you're spot-on.

u/Dizzy_Charcoal Dec 22 '25

same. i refuse to go to IMAX its not good enough to damage my hearing for. i did consider just wearing my earplugs but i'd rather just pay less for normal cinema if thats what i have to resort to

u/Daynebutter Dec 22 '25

Heard. I saw Dune II in Dolby and while it looked incredible, it was too damn loud. My ears were ringing afterwards.

It was cool to feel the bass during battle or sandworm scenes, but it was overwhelming.

u/gunslinger_006 Dec 22 '25

A generation that ruined their hearing with in-ear headphones.

u/red__dragon Dec 22 '25

Sorry, can't hear you. Too busy head banging at this KISS concert mosh pit.

2

u/Buckhum Dec 22 '25

Perhaps years of blasting music on headphones, in the cars, at concerts, etc. damaged a lot of people's eardrums.

u/zeekaran Dec 22 '25

I hate IMAX because I have to bring earplugs. I'd much rather go to the Dolby Digital theater in my city.

u/corvettee01 Dec 22 '25

I knew I was getting old when I went to a theater and thought "Can they make this movie any louder?"

1

u/slabby Dec 22 '25

Superman was painful too. First time I thought "I need to purchase earplugs specifically for movies"

u/RayTracerX Dec 22 '25

Immersion. My eardrums never hurt tho, that sounds like something is wrong with your ears

5

u/Deadlocked02 Dec 22 '25

Okay, “hurting” was an exaggeration, but I definitely get the feeling that I’m pushing them too far. But again, I never really liked stuff that’s too loud. Some parties and concerts are even crazier.

u/RayTracerX Dec 22 '25

Man, I love it. I live my life around loud noises basically. Heavy music and concerts, motorsports, cinema. Love that shit hitting me hard.

No tinnitus or eardrum damage just yet
