    A common theme in so much of today's movies and TV.

    Turn up my hearing aids on subtitles.

    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

      That'll be annoying. I often have difficulty hearing dialog. I guess I'll wait, to watch it at home, with subtitles.

      Education is extremely important.

          My grandad used to complain about this in the 1970's.

          I was only joking

            I read a review that said the director did a much better job making the audio intelligible than in his previous movies.

            I don’t recall it being an issue when I saw it.

              I worried that Oppenheimer’s dialogue would be muffled as in several other Nolan movies such as Interstellar, but fortunately, this time he’s reined in his preference for muddy, booming soundtracks. Still, despite the welcome clarity of the sound, he layers a nervous modernist orchestral score under every line, so you might want to await subtitles.

                I think it’s worth watching in the theatre just for the trinity scene alone.

                  Funny, my hearing is fine but I often turn on subtitles at home too. Even during some of the marvel movies (like Thor) some of the accents and norse terms sound like gibberish to me.

                    That's a handicap up there in Viking country.

                      I shouldn't have a problem hearing anything. 🤣

                        It is pretty clear here.
