Sound vs. Video

Agreed, picture quality was outstanding at all three IMAX theaters I've been to.

The San Jose IMAX does not have good sound, the Luxor in Las Vegas does have great sound (picture and ambience are the best I've ever experienced), and all the theaters I've been to in Silicon Valley have terrible sound.

An interesting aside, the Luxor's IMAX has automated metal seat bars that lock you in your seat, because they don't want the realism to knock you out of your seat.

No matter the format, DD5.1 or DTS, I find most theaters just don't get the calibration right and/or play the volume at really extreme levels (depends on how crowded the theater is).
