Christopher Nolan took a playful swipe at streaming while introducing a Los Angeles screening of “Oppenheimer” that was devoted to spotlighting the film’s craft. Crew members reunited for the event Monday evening, billed as “The Story of Our Time: The Making of ‘Oppenheimer.'” The director said a lot of time and energy has gone into assembling the “Oppenheimer” Blu-ray so that it preserves the film’s soundscape, which is one reason moviegoers should buy a physical copy as opposed to waiting for the movie to stream.
“Obviously ‘Oppenheimer’ has been quite a ride for us and now it is time for me to release a home version of the film. I’ve been working very hard on it for months,” Nolan said. “I’m known for my love of theatrical and put my whole life into that, but, the truth is, the way the film goes out at home is equally important.”
“‘The Dark Knight’ was one of the first films where we formatted it specially for Blu-ray release because it was a new form at the time,” he continued. “And in the case of ‘Oppenheimer,’ we put a lot of care and attention into the Blu-ray version… and trying to translate the photography and the sound, putting that into the digital realm with a version you can buy and own at home and put on a shelf so no evil streaming service can come steal it from you.”
Release date: 22nd November 2023

He made sure to turn the voices down really low with no bass, and all the explosions max volume and will blow your subs.
Christopher Nolan has some of the worst sound mixing in movies, I couldn’t hear SHIT in Interstellar
USE YOUR MIDS
I saw Oppenheimer in the theater and felt like an old man:
Me: IS IT ME, OR IS THIS MOVIE TOO LOUD?
My wife: WHAT DID YOU SAY??
My shitty TV makes a god awful buzzing noise when watching it at home.
I can only watch interstellar on my bedroom TV because I’ve maxed out the audio compression to watch things at low volume, I can actually understand what anyone in that movie is saying.
ooh do you have any tips or guides for doing this?
i have tried doing this with audio effects (pulseeffects, easyeffects) things in linux but i never seem to get a good result
The term to search is “volume equalization”, windows has this option built in, not sure about Linux sorry.
many thanks!
I didn’t have an issue when watching it in the movies. Talking was understandable and I expected the explosions to be megahugeloud, would’ve been disappointed if they weren’t.
