I think that this is a Christopher Nolan thing or perhaps, all movies thing. I found the
same to be true of _"Dunkirk"_. The special effects were deafening but the dialog was often so
low you couldn't make it out. I honestly find this aspect of 2026 movie going to be really
annoying. Finally, it's not just movies. While I certainly have hearing loss, there are many
times when I feel that my only choose is to have the closed captions on, not because I can't
hear the dialog but because it buried under sound effects in the mix.
