Maybe Nolan will fix the damn sound mixing. It was a great movie, but 2+hours of eardrum shattering special effects or barely audible asmr whispers. It was really annoying
He does it on purpose. He wants his art to be experienced a certain way. That way is in a theater with the best sound tech. I agree it’s horrible, but I don’t think it will stop.
So I always assumed these issues were because of the individual’s audio setup. I won’t try to negate others’ experiences and concerns but I don’t have these issues with any of Nolan’s films. I’m guessing it’s because I’ve had home theater speakers for years and calibrate them as well.
I thought the same, but then saw articles where the writers basically assumed the same. Then either through polls, or using a vanilla audio setup, like headphones only no EQ, they realized a lot of big name directors just suck and they actually tune the movie’s audio to be like that.
Your home theater setup is just so well fine-tuned, it can negate a lot of it. Mine is too, and I hear a lot of movies’ dialog way better at home.
I have 5.1.2 Atmos, speakers are in walls/ceiling so no behind echo, multipoint microphone tuned, and my Yamaha receiver has an “A.I. dialog boost.” (Its years old before AI blew up like it currently is). The AI boost actually does an incredible job with a proper tuned center channel.

It sounds like crap in the theater too. when it came out there were stories about people going crazy trying to adjust sound systems.
He did it in Oppenheimer too. It’s not as bad, but it’s still awful.
