For THE FIRST TIME EVER, I'm going to take your advice, Quan. The premise seems lame imo. Especially considering that the Netflix show DARK just BFTO of the time travel genre, not mention, as shown by Interstellar and even arguably by Inception, Nolan has a bad habit for coming up with spectacular concepts and giving them lame minimalist executions.
Yes, and like Interstellar, the sound mix often overwhelms the dialogue so there are important passages I didn't get. I think if I watch it again, it will be at home with the sound off and the subtitles on - that would be interesting.
And Kenneth Branagh's villain was a pretty cliched stereotype.

Apparently the sound mix is created for a very select number of screens with the most up to date systems and most cinemas have shitty old systems that don't process his films well.

Cos I saw that in a theater that had good sound, the theater Skywalker Sound did over. Edit: Though it would be an old sound system, just very high quality from back in the day.
I believe so. Although he had a terrible reason for Instellar. He harped on in 1 interview that he wanted the voices to be just another sound effect in Interstellar and that he didn't have to just use dialogue for exposition. He could use music and other sounds to advance the plot.
Load ae shite

Every theatre chain has digital cinema or they couldn't show movies at all. So every one of them has up to date digital sound systems (after decades of displaying THX/Dolby digital at the beginning of movies, they finally stopped some years ago because we get it.) That some theatres have older and inferior sound systems is a weak excuse.

Movie was confusing but relatively enjoyable. Incompetent sound mixing that made it nearly impossible to hear some important dialogue at times. Not one of Nolan’s best. Lots of lazy info dumps. Lacked the emotional core of his better movies like Inception and Interstellar. Didn’t really give much of a shit about any of the characters.
The only reason it was really confusing is because there was important dialogue I couldn’t understand because of the bad sound mixing.
Also I think he did a bad job of making the info dumps engaging to the viewer. I found myself drifting sometimes because there were just too many of them.
