Far too loud. Disappointing as it takes away a lot of the IMAX experience when the level of volume makes you feel uncomfortable and you can’t get through the movie without ear protection.

What is wrong with the projectionist? We watched Dune Part 1 and the volume was so loud that it was hard to understand what the protagonists were saying. Absurd.
Any screening is absurdly loud in this IMAX. And I know some IMAX cinemas around the world.

Beautiful IMAX experience.
The seats need to be replaced, they’re the worst seats I’ve seen at an IMAX.
Every IMAX movie comes with a volume pre set to ensure the best experience; unfortunately here the volume is set higher then recommended which causes irritating volume peaks.
So dear IMAX projectionist please follow the recommendations, thank you."

The IMAX Sound Experience: A Mixed Bag
On the other hand, a notable number of reviews praise the 'perfect volume' and a 'wonderful experience' where ear protection wasn't needed. This suggests an inconsistency in how the sound is managed, or perhaps variations depending on the specific film being shown. If you are sensitive to loud noises, it's advisable to check recent reviews for the specific movie you plan to see or to be prepared with your own sound dampening solutions.
Despite the volume concerns, when the sound is calibrated correctly, the audio quality is described as 'great' and 'mesmerizing,' complementing the large screen for a truly enhanced cinematic event. The key seems to be finding a screening where the volume is set appropriately, which can be a bit of a gamble.
Digital IMAX vs. Film: What to Expect
While digital IMAX offers a superior visual experience compared to standard cinemas, it's worth noting that it differs from the traditional 70mm film projection that some IMAX enthusiasts seek. The 1.43 aspect ratio on the massive screen is a key feature that provides an expansive field of view, drawing you deeper into the movie's world. This large canvas, combined with the crisp digital visuals, creates a truly breathtaking spectacle that enhances the cinematic journey.
For those who appreciate cutting-edge visual technology, the digital IMAX at Norcenter delivers a powerful and immersive experience. The sheer scale of the screen and the precision of the digital projection work together to create a memorable movie-watching event, even if it's not on traditional film.
Seat Comfort and Overall Ambiance
Despite potential seating drawbacks, the overall ambiance of an IMAX theater is usually one of grandeur and excitement. The anticipation before a film begins, the sheer size of the screen dominating your vision, and the immersive sound (when calibrated well) all contribute to a unique movie-going atmosphere. It's an experience designed to make you feel part of the film's world.
