One time I went to see one of those WWII movies made in the 1970s. It opened
with B-25s warming up on a carrier deck, getting ready for the Tokyo raid.

Having flown in the things, it sounded so realistic that I just sat back in my
chair and went Ahhh....

Then they turned on that damned Surround Sound, causing me to jump up in my
seat and cover my ears.

From what I've experienced, the extremes have nothing to do with dynamic range.
It's that anything dubbed in like music seems much louder than the rest of the
sound.

That reminds me of reading that Charles Bronson once said that if music is
needed to turn on the appropriate emotions, then the script is crappy. G
