This is such a confusing complaint to me, it feels like a reddit inside joke at this point. Outside of Tenet (which was less "I couldn't hear the dialogue" for me and more "it's so fucking loud I'm going deaf") and Dark Knight Rises (which got completely fixed on release), I've never had a single problem with hearing the dialogue in his movies. But I see redditors, especially on r/movies, love to bring this up under any post about Nolan, EVER.

It's like their favorite joke as an easy karma hack to get free quick upvotes - just type "can't wait to not hear the dialogue haha"...

Maybe it's a specific theater you go to? Idk I've gone to digital IMAX and Dolby for most of his work - no complaints outside of the cases I mentioned. Not Oppenheimer, not Interstellar (I know a theater in the US that put a sign saying that the "loudness" of the movie was by design, but it has nothing to do with the dialogue), not anything else.

I do not understand what the play is here from Universal. yes The Odyssey was going to be a massive push with its marketing - it's a Nolan film, it's an epic, it has a stacked cast and they're already doing SO much bits and pieces of marketing on stuff like discord and instagram - (They made a whole ass game for the movie about building the Trojan Horse!!!)

But a Spielberg movie - especially one supposed to be a "blockbuster" - is no pushover. Why then, has the marketing for *this* been so muted? Especially when it is supposed to be coming out in literally a month. I would have assumed that this being Spielberg's return to big summer blockbuster fare would've had a similar level of bombastic marketing to go with it but...crickets. What could be the play here do you think?
