If a motherfucker could properly mix audio I wouldn't need them.

If I wouldn't have to turn the volume ALL THE WAY UP followed by ALL THE WAY DOWN because your show/movie can't decide if we're whispering or blowing the planet up every ten seconds, I wouldn't need them.

They often claim you need a proper audio setup.

I have an expensive (be it old) surround sound setup. Marvel and many other modern movies suck absolute arse. Having to pause and fiddle with volume going from a barely audible conversation to deafening noise in a single scene.

Fuck that noise, audio seems optimized for smartphone speakers nowadays.

No, it's optimized for 42-speaker, billion-watt Imax screens. Where I have to wear earplugs.

We went to the re-airing of interstellar on imax. The sound when the ship was getting hammered with hail was so loud my ears were ringing and we left. Making movies painful should not be the point.

Same. I never saw it when I had an original run in the theater and was so excited for the re-release. Couldn't get to one of the true film IMAX showings of it, but went to an IMAX theater and oh my God did they just have the damn sound cranked... So muddy, so loud. Makes me appreciate my home theater that much more...
