i'm seeing oppenheimer in a week; i'm beyond excited because of the hype and loving historical drama but i cannot stand chris nolan. i watched the prestige recently and they made the electricity sounds 1000x louder than the dialog [and cut the movie intentionally to make it a pain in the ass to follow instead of just telling the story straight, because that was the thing to do in 2010]

Old movies have a constant level of audio. Current movies audio levels are like a sine wave.

Blame your TV, not the content. Or, blame yourself if you like for not buying a soundbar or soundsystem.

A lot of TVs these days have Night Mode or the like. That's the fix!

PS Downvoting me for... What exactly? Because I told you two solutions and neither of them are what you prefer? TVs are literally paper thin and physically can't have good speakers except for special cases in the high end. Buy a soundbar, even though they suck and apparently people these days are scared of plugging one more cable into something, or get a stereo system for the same price and plug in two more things (speakers) that can fit anywhere on your wall or whatever.
