Explains why I didn’t like it.

We saw Top Gun: Maverick last summer in Orlando at that theater and while it was amazing visually, the audio was set far too loud.

I had a similar issue with Oppenheimer last weekend locally watching in the Dolby Cinema. Image quality was superb but the audio was set far too loud and it impacted the dialogue.

It’s like riding a rollercoaster while watching a movie.

Well that stinks. Literally.

Chief,

I saw a film at a Regal in Florida with that format. I think it was Florida. Overly loud and too much Buttkicker action. Universal Studios has “Smellovision” on at least one ride.

Good article. But what about Regal RPX? That’s the only premium movie theater experience in my neighborhood. I think the details vary but RPX normally includes Dolby Atmos and laser projection with screens at least 45 feet wide. I believe they also include Buttkicker motion actuators in some theaters as well so you can feel the bass. No “Smellovision” yet though, as far as I know.
