Early reviews for Interstellar from IMAX screenings complained about the movie's problematic sound mix, which amps up Hans Zimmer's organ-based score, drowning out a lot of the dialogue in the process. Now that the movie is out in the wild, however, it's become clear that even regular theatrical screenings are suffering with the same issue, one that has plagued many of Nolan's films in the past. The real problem isn't with missing an occasional quip or line of throwaway dialogue, but that seemingly important discussions are also occasionally overwhelmed by the score, which given the already complex nature of the movie, is an annoying and rather bone-headed decision by the director. Someone needs to ask Nolan who he insists on mixing his movies in such a radical, sketchy fashion, because it doesn't do his work any favours at all.
