Is "The Martian" loud? Worried about my hearing and tinnitus
Hey guys,
Last week-end I was at a wedding reception where I subjected my poor ears to 2hrs of very loud background noise: Too many people, talking too loud in an acoustically reverberant space. It was so loud I put in a pair of earplugs but still got a pretty nasty tinnitus spike after it which I am still dealing with.
My wife and I would like to go see The Martian, but I need to give my ears a rest and I am concerned that, like many movies these days, the audio effects get VERY loud. Some times, we are watching a movie in one theater room and can hear the rumbling bass from the adjacent theater. I want to save my, still quite good, hearing for music not for explosions :-).
If you have seen The Martian, do you remember it being particularly loud? I've read the book and I remember some storm scenes which could be particularly high volume.
I will definitely wear ear plugs, but when they blast 120db sounds, they are not that effective.
Thank you for any feedback you might have. I'd rather be safe than sorry in this case.
Alberto
