Hollywood mixes are just awful, have been for decades now. You can go to the theater and have quiet voices and blown-out eardrums from a race scene.

I have a middle-to-upper-end 5.1 setup and have to fiddle with it like hell to keep the voices audible without ruining the action scenes.

And just forget about watching a Christopher Nolan film

Tenet was unwatchable without subtitles.

I haven't watched it yet. Kinda want to, I have a low bar for video enjoyment. Maybe I'll throw it on my phone and wait for a no-network time, but i'll make sure i have subs for it :)

Watch Memento first. Its his better, non linear, film.

Scene:

  • Important person walks into a room
  • "Needless exposition about how rich and influential that person is"
  • Another important person walks into a room
  • "More needless exposition about how rich and influential that person is"
  • "That person is rich and influential?"
  • *wry smile*

Next scene, more of the same

Yes basically what I said, but some say it's good for reasons that elude me. So I try to stay on the technical base to avoid discussion.
