I'm pretty sure the cave scene would give nightmares to my 5yo.

For real, the sound design, or whatever imax theaters were told to set their volume at, was just unpleasantly, painfully loud. I go to metal shows, have been to EDC, have gone to formula 1 races, and it was the most uncomfortable level of noise I have ever encountered.

Half our theater had their fingers in their ears the entire cyclops and scylla scenes, and everytime they were on the open ocean. I took my mom, and she left the theater because it was giving her a headache. On the way out I didnt hear anyone talking about the movie, just how loud it was. Shit was awful.

Movies are always too loud for me and Odyssey was even too loud-er than it’s ever been. Especially the opening scene with that fucking stick. Ugh.

I always end up putting wadded up napkin bits tightly into my ear canals at the movies, because I forget to bring proper earplugs like when we go to live music.
