On an airplane, a set of closed, noise cancelling headphones might help
here. And yes, you are not crazy. DVD audio mix can vary significantly as
it represents a mix for a quiet theater with surround sound. You will
notice this at home two where you might have turned up the volume to hear
the dialog and then it gets too loud during action scenes.
