Nolan is one of my favorite directors and I was waiting for this movie to come out and finally it did. For the first time in my life I had to literally escape the theater because the volume was unbelievably high. There were so many high frequency sounds that I couldn't stand listening to the soundtrack. I play in a rock band and I am used to loud sounds and yet I had to exit the cinema. It took me nearly 2 hours to fully recover. Some of the people had their hands covering the hears for most of the scenes. The movie is amazing but I think it's totally useless if you can't enjoy it. Would you still like a beautiful sunset next to a worker operating a huge drill? I will wait for the DVD to be able to lower the volume and watch the ending. I read an article where Nolan replied to similar complaints saying: "That's the way I like it". Well Chris, I hope you like this review too.
