FYI this is one of the main differences between the Hollywood and German soundtracks.
Here it's mixed far better to listen in stereo while in surround cinematic you need to turn the front speaker up, if you have that system. And it doesn't translate well to stereo.
Wouldn't that be a question of studio sound versus scene sound? The original sound is usually recorded with a boom mic, resulting in a wider dynamic range, whereas the German voiceover can be recorded in a studio, without interference and the speakers much closer to the mic.
The alternative would be to give each actor a lapel mic which would then have to be edited out of the video and would also be infeasible in some situations.
Hollywood mixes are just awful, have been for decades now. You can go to the theater and have quiet voices and blown-out eardrums from a race scene.
I have a middle-to-upper-end 5.1 setup and have to fiddle with it like hell to keep the voices audible without ruining the action scenes.
And just forget about watching a Christopher Nolan film
Tenet was unwatchable without subtitles.
I haven't watched it yet. Kinda want to, I have a low bar for video enjoyment. Maybe I'll throw it on my phone and wait for a no-network time, but i'll make sure i have subs for it :)
Watch Memento first. Its his better, non linear, film.

Next scene, more of the same
They mix shit for 7.1 and to hell with everyone else
Yes basically what I said, but some say it's good for reasons that elude me. So I try to stay on the technical base to avoid discussion.
