In Reply to: Are movies too loud?... posted by millen on February 8, 2005 at 12:19:47:
common sense at the theater. Only they know their system and space and can control the output to suit. The fact that a perticular movie was recorded at a higher or lower level should be irrelevant unless there was a standard that was kept for years and more recently there have been studios that have intentionally (or otherwise) neglected that standard. In general, you cannot have a consistant level as that would limit the dynamics of a movie or require compression. There may be some loud scenes that audiences are finding offensive and the use of some compression my be in order if the dialogue cannot be understood in other areas. That seems extreme, but the theater should be able to control that to an extent that it does not disturb their patrons.
