The car chase scenes were nothing to write home about. However, the car/motorcycle chase scene in the Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation is worth the price of the DVD (when it comes out) in my humble opinion.

I had to skip past the spoilers.
The sound was too high
This has been my complaint for the last two IMAX movies I saw.
I think the volume is based on some THX standard that hasn't been actually tested for the size of the theater, as you said. The first time, I did the my fingers in my ears bit. The next time I had foam earplugs, and used them.
Both times I complained to the a manager, but I think I'll have to write to somebody, to actually feel better about saying something the the issue may not be corrected.
I could always take a dB meter with me.

you can get a dB meter for your smartphone. I have one on my 'droid.

I already have a dB meter.
An app might be additionally impressive.

BUT I do want both of the cars Bond drove...serious car envy.
I plan to put foam ear plugs in my bag for future movie going.

"THE SOUND WAS TOO HIGH!"
I had that complaint when we went to see Avatar at the iMAX 3D theater and came out to tell the manager. He said that it was controlled by the distributor and that he couldn't do anything to change it.
He recognized the problem and gave us passes for another show, which I still haven't used. We did go back in, after stuffing wadded up napkins in our ears to help muffle the sound.
