I always wondered what people have against Tenet's audio. I originally saw it with headphones and using vlc and it was fine. Then I saw it on a TV and it was awful. I wonder if it was tested in normal environments.
Sorry, but I work with a lot of Hollywood production companies and have been on plenty of sets, and this is a load of crap.
Today's actors and actresses speak their lines just fine. The problem is the trend toward louder audio f/x and music, which can drown out voices if not mixed correctly. See, e.g., Tenet for a horrific example of audio mixing, and the characters can barely be heard even when yelling; compare to The Batman where Pattinson rarely speaks above a whisper but is audible and understandable in every scene.
