At this point, we all wear earplugs to the movies.
It sorta stinks, but SO LOUD. Why?

The trailer promo for other IMAX releases was loud as hell, but Disney seemed to understand that recreating orchestral playback levels in a large space means only about 80 dB avg., maybe 95 dB on peaks (the Firebird was probably the loudest). I am surprised (and somewhat happy) that Disney did not attempt to animate the 1812 Overture or one of those Strauss Fox Hunt songs with the live ammunition. Also, in my original post I forgot to mention Respighi's Pines of Rome and those flying whales (?!?). As Mart once quoted: "Too much LDS."
