I saw it at the IMAX and I had quite a bit of trouble making out what the characters were saying in several scenes. This also occurred when I saw Interstellar but not as bad.
shareEspecially with Pattinson’s character.
shareYou won’t be surprised to hear that the sound mixing of this film has been criticized by many (the majority). While this has been a very common complaint when it comes to Nolan (ever since The Dark Knight Rises), the general consensus is Tenet is easily the worst one yet in this department.
I know some people who thought others were exaggerating when they said they had a hard time hearing/making out so much of Tenet’s dialogue felt like the film could have benefited from some subtitles once they saw it, lol. Nolan “apparently” did this intentionally for the sake of realism, but... if you can’t hear what the actors are saying in so many scenes, especially in a complex film like this one, then that’s a problem.
We had a similar experience. I still got what was going on but have to assume there were details in the muffled/obscured dialogue that somehow made the plot better. Perhaps that was the plan?
