Part of the issue for me was the audio is mixed so that you can barely hear the dialogue.
I’ve heard it’s because it’s mixed for surround sound
Optimized on for peak surround sound, allegedly. I have a $5000 system and it still sounds like shit. Snobby ≠ good, methinks.
IbaudiaI heard it was mixed specifically for high-end theatre speakers. I think Nolan was just too far up his own ass on this one.
I watched it in Dolby Atmos and still couldn’t understand shit. It was simply very, very badly mixed. I don’t think I’ll watch another film from Nolan.
Yeah Oppenheimer was just bad with audio.
I saw it in theaters and it was great.
Not being able to hear the dialogue is an artistic choice Nolan has been intentionally making since around The Dark Knight Rises. I know that sounds dumb but, I’m not joking. I have been baffled by this choice and have refused to see any of his films until Oppenheimer. Which was a major improvement.
Why You Can't Hear The Dialogue in Tenet
Maven (famous)I would NOT call Oppenheimer a major improvement! It was one of my least favorite theater experiences because I couldn’t hear half of the dialogue and the whole thing was way too loud.
It felt like I was watching a bunch of vines strung together in a parody of a Nolan film. I couldn’t finish it, there was literally a cut every 3 seconds.
