Hey everyone, I really enjoyed the movie, but there was one MAJOR problem I had with it. My problem was the fact that the sound was really bad. I saw it on Wednesday and the sound sounded worse than my television at home, and then I saw it yesterday and it was better, it was just missing a lot. I don't know if it's just the 2 different theatres I saw it in, but please let me know if anyone else experienced this. I just REALLY wanted to feel the base on RENT and Out Tonight, but it just didn't work! Let me know!

~ it must be the sound system that particular theatre is utilizing
i experienced absolutely no problems with the audio when i saw it
~ i went to two different area theatres
i did notice however that different versions of the songs were used for the actual film and they differed from the versions used on the soundtrack cd...

Posted: 11/26/05 at 1:23pmthe theaters i saw it in had great sound. the bass really added to the intensity of out tonight and Rent, i thought it was a great choice to use. i mightbe just been the theater you saw it in, b/c it was very clear and loud at the 2 theaters i went to.

Posted: 11/26/05 at 1:23pmI didn't find the sound to be a problem. I was actually very worried about the mixing from what I had heard on the aoundtrack, but they fixed it up quite well for the film.

Posted: 11/26/05 at 1:30pmI actually commented on the sound when I first saw the movie this past Monday and again on Wednesday. I went in expecting to be blown away, accustomed as I am to being able to feel the bass in the floor, but the volume of the entire film just seemed that it should have been kicked up quite a few notches. I had no problem with the mixing, but in a theater with surround sound, I'd enjoy having to hold my ears a bit.

Posted: 11/26/05 at 1:31pmi did have to hold my ears a bit, maybe it was just louder where i was. either that or my ears are extremely sensitive.

The film itself I don't think had problems, I think it was the theater.
Like, the ruin down theater doesn't have great sound to begin with, but the newer-better theater sounded prefect.

Posted: 11/26/05 at 2:11pmI saw it at the main movie theater in Boston, and I thought that the lyrics of a couple of the songs were drowned out by the bass, especially the title song. I don't know whether that has to do with the theater sound system or not.

I saw it at the Ziegfeld in the City and thought the sound was fantastic. I also saw it at a local theatre and the sound was terrible, like a busted radio. So it's the respective theatres. I was actually thinking, since Rent is a musical, it may have a chance at getting an Oscar nomination for Best Sound Mixing. It was much better than last year's Phantom, that's for sure.

Posted: 11/27/05 at 12:18amMy theatre sounded great. It was almost like....whatever person was closer to you and they were singing, they were louder. Sort of. Like...exaggerated surround sound.
This is my signature.

Posted: 11/27/05 at 12:21amI saw it at the mall...sound system wasn't too great. At some loud/high-pitched parts, it did that weird crackly "I can't handle it" thing that speakers do. But everything else sounded good.
