For example, I don’t like Will Ferrell in his typical roles. Oh they just drive me batty.
But. I do love Stranger Than Fiction. It’s such a cozy movie.

While I agree with you, I have heard two things that I think are important to know.
The early pirated versions were especially horrible, as the audio was mixed for the big screen.
Intentionally muddying the dialogue is a well known movie technique. Often used in scenes or situations where the actual spoken words aren’t important. For example, I remember seeing an old movie once where this guy is dumping his GF down by the docks, and most of his words are inaudible due to fog horns from ships, and his (ex)GF covers her ears. Where Nolan failed was that in that fog horn example it’s obvious that it’s intentional. In Tenet, on the other hand, the masqing audio is usually part of the soundtrack, so it just sounds like an awful mix. Tenet made me adjust volume constantly because I felt I was missing something. I liked the movie, though. Except that scene didn’t even closely resemble Oslo airport.
I also wish Nolans movies did not have such an insanely wide dynamic audio range. First you’re listening to actual important dialog, then your windows shatter from the sound of movie gunshots.
I saw it as an AMC A-List subscriber diring COVID twice as the only person in the theater. I sat in the best seat in a place that had redone theor soubd system 1 year before and it was rough.
Im not sure there are better circumstances to view it in for the average person.
