PSA: A warning about Dunkirk [No Spoilers]

It was VERY loud. Too loud in fact. It might be the loudest movie I've ever seen.

I don't mean like a gun shot here or an explosion there, I mean sustained loud noises for minutes at a time. For large sections of the movie the soundtrack and the effects merge in this cacophony of noise and it becomes difficult to differentiate between any of the sounds. On a number of occasions it actually distracted me from what was taking place on screen.

If you have trouble with prolonged loud noises you might consider waiting to see this until you can control the volume.

This is really unfortunate since I thought the movie was great otherwise. I've been a fan of Nolan's for a while now but man I wish the guy would allow more space in his sound mixes.
