Clearly they can fix it... they know no one can hear them.. so why do they do it????
I have noticed this on the walking dead too..
if you cannot understand what someone is saying then that actor should be fired end of discussion!

Jupiter and interstellar were bad for it but i found inception even worse. Those horns at the start make you turn the sound down and then you have to turn it straight back up again to hear people.
Ah so it's not just me!
First of all it seems that the sound design or whatever makes it so that voices aren't clearly audible. But then when the actor actually says something that isn't easily heard, why not just do another retake of that scene? Sloppy.
I just put on the subtitles.. even in the subtitles it is like sometime the person who wrote them is having trouble making out what they said..
for example.. in the movie chappie in one scene someone says something and in the subtitles it says something close but different

You do realize they re-record the dialog in a studio after filming for the vast majority of the dialog. It's called ADR. So they have complete control over the nuance of what is said (within reason of what the actor is physically expressing on camera) and how loud it is.
shareMovies are made for the big screen where they have super dolby surround sound whatever and the volume is turned up so you feel the action. Movies are not made for little TV sets, unless you have an entertainment center.
Also, the biggest market for movies is young people who usually have better hearing.
Boy, I agree with that all the way! I subtitle everything even television series. Actually my family is becoming used to the subtitles. Sometimes it's funny because, like was mentioned, the subtitles will say something when obviously the person is saying something else. At least I can get the gist of things that way. It's very annoying that what the actors are saying cannot be heard well. KAS
shareCouldn't agree more. Tried watching this POS movie at the gym while on a treadmill. The movie goes from whispers to violent explosions in a split-second. Just absurd. Makes an already questionable movie even more so.
shareI have this problem with most movies I watch at home. I can hear them fine in the cinema.
shareI agree! I have issues with my hearing, and have the same problems, yet the sound effects are really loud, so I'm forever adjusting my TV volume.
AVADA KEDAVRA!!!

Mandy send me a private message.. maybe we can have a video chat and troubleshoot your problem?

It's probably because I only have a stereo system. What I need is a way to emphasize the mid-range instead of splitting the voices between both sides equally (which is what I assume it's doing). I've tried the various settings the amplifier offers, but they don't make any difference.
shareTry playing native stereo source tracks rather than a 5.1 stream that gets converted to stereo in real time. Those conversion algorithms are the culprit, in my experience.
Oh, and it's spelled "condescending". Just saying.
Then your setup is to blame. Blu-ray has a direct copy of what is at cinemas (different ways to decode it but the data underneath is the same).

ha. i had to turn on subtitles myself, and adjust the volume throughout the film over and over. glad it wasn't just me, it makes me think i'm going deaf. the music levels were really inconsistent and i swear the actors are mumbling half the lines. sean bean was nearly unintelligible in particular.
edit: i do have 5.1 surround as well it's not as if my i'm trying to parse thru my media through "downsampled" 2 channel tv speakers
