Yes, we went to a theater. It had been a number of years since we
actually went to a commercial theater (since well before tha pandemic,
but I'm guessing maybe 10 years). I was not prepared for the experience.
Very large recliners with electric footrest/recline action. Not too many
seats in the entire theater; I'm guessing 50-ish?
But the sound was pretty disappointing to me. I think they substituted
loud for fidelity. The sound I have set up in our home theater is far
superior; maybe especially because we have dialog enhancement.

Maybe that was the point?
Did you watch it in theaters? I've read that theater sound makes
these audio situations significantly better and that home audio,
obviously not as good quality, has difficulty getting dialogue out.

We went to see /A Complete Unknown/; a biography of Bob Dylan. It
did not attempt to do a very large portion of his life; just the
years roughly 1961-1965. In the beginning he was very much in his
folk-music formative years, and as his popularity grew the film
depicts his frustration with the fame that he was not prepared
for. It culminates at the 1965 Newport Folk Festival where he
broke out with band and an electric guitar. Really struck a chord
(no pun intended) with me as I was a teenager in 1965 and I
distinctly recall the major controversy when he "went electric".
The actors all did their own singing and instrument playing. Kudos
for not trying to emulate Dylan too closely, but instead doing a
resonable facsimile.
I give it 4 stars. My only complaint was that much of the audio
was much too loud and drowned out a lot of the dialogue;
especially when Dylan was doing his trademark mumbling.
