They don't even design their sound to be good in all theaters, just ones with "top of the line" audio systems, which means the audio is likely to suck if you go to your local AMC or other chain.

He's also said before that they just don't care if some dialogue is inaudible, apparently shitty sound is just part of the experience, intentionally. Maybe we should stop buying tickets and Blu-Ray's of his movies until they start making good movies.

There are so many movies and shows with bad audio. I just leave the subtitles on all the time.

Every theater I've gone to for probably near 10 years has sucked. Something is always fucked up. Audio unbalanced or way too loud, projector just slightly unfocused, blown out, or off center. They must not hire a professional in any capacity anymore, just minimum wage teenagers. I made a mid/low tier home theater and I'd rather watch any movie at my house, because the video and audio is going to be better. It's actually ridiculous.
