It would be worth being in Budapest👍...the sound at the Cineplex wasn't terrible, but it felt a little too quiet for an event of this magnitude...😁...
Must be nice for you if it felt too quiet. I was there on Saturday, and frankly, I think it’s high time that the management finally "cuts the cord" and hires a legitimate acoustic engineer. I don't care how much they boast about Dolby Surround 7.1 or whatever high-end tech they've installed—loudness is not a substitute for quality! There were maybe a dozen people in the theater, which means the volume really needed to be calibrated differently than when the house is packed. The sound was grating... at times, the decibel levels hit a point that was actually painful, making it difficult to even follow along, which is hardly the experience one hopes for. Even with high-end Class A audio equipment—amplifiers running at perhaps 25-50 W—if those watts are pure enough, you can fill a massive space with effortless clarity. The film itself—well, more of a concert recording—is actually quite well-made despite some occasional hiccups with the 3D effect, but that’s likely due to the AMC Theatres' specific setup. As some others have pointed out, you probably need to catch this in IMAX to get the true picture. I wouldn't call myself a huge U2 fan, but as a complete work, the film is quite good. It just needs... a competent sound engineer.
