I have problems with dialog in his movies as well. I liked Inception a lot more when I was able to see the subtitles.

The only part where I struggled to hear the dialog was when MC was on his deathbed. There was a young couple whispering behind me for 2/3rds of the movie until things got really hairy with good ol' Matt Damon. Speaking of which, he was perfectly cast.

  Go over to the Interstellar thread on Hoffman's bored where civilians and pros weigh in. Perhaps there has been a fix prior to your seeing it.

  - 99% of theater sound systems suck and that goes for every movie, not just this one - Jazz Inmate 10:38:58 11/10/14 (0)
    Add to that the crowd noises, and I miss things on most movies. I miss things on every first viewing, both audio and video. Good movies that are dense and have much meaning can be mined for new content dozens of times. That's why I enjoy movies that reward repeat viewings.
    
    But the idea that Nolan's films, densely layered in every way (emotionally, intellectually, audio, video, etc.) are going to be resolved by most cinema audio systems is a bit oversimplistic. The real problem is that no one in a single viewing is going to fully understand or catch everything in a film that the Nolan brothers and an entire crew of hundreds of people dedicated a year or more of their lives to.
    
    Heck, I go to jazz clubs and am appalled at their sound systems, and those are much better than the average movie theater. Really, it isn't until I see a film four or five times in the privacy of my home that I can say I've caught everything. I commend Nolan for striving for multilayered audio production and not mixing it for FM radio just to please some asshole critics on opening day.
