Hi there
I don't know if it's just me but I seem to find the DIALOG on a lot of movies almost impossible to hear unless the volume is turned up quite high -- this then makes the special effects absolutely far too loud,
Seems that movie makers or is it the modern cinema surround systems can create brilliant sound effects say like dropping a glass or whatever but render spoken dialog into "mush".
I've found a partial solution is to throw away all those "Cinema sound" type speakers and simply connect an "Old Fashioned" Hi Fi system -- You lose a little of the sound effects but the dialog is considerably enhanced.
(Saves bothering with subtitles which is another solution of course).
Old movies never had this problem.
Is it the modern equipment rubbish now or are the Sound Engineers / mixers all Deaf these days or don't regard spoken dialog as part of the movie any more.
I'm sure there must be some decent equipment around that can handle decent movie spoken dialog AND the effects properly. Things that are good for Games etc are hop less for spoken dialog.
I know this must be a real problem - a lot of my friends have now given up going to the cinema any more simply because of this problem.
Cheers
