You people give too much crap.

I understand being angry about the changes in OT, I myself hate those changes too. They change things directly in the movie, they interrupt the flow, they don’t fit in.

But being angry about a soundtrack being louder/less loud, a new sound effect, a removal of sound effect etc.? All movies do stuff that when they arrive on home video, because otherwise the sound would be awful.

No, this is an entirely different issue than nearfield remixing which is the proper term for remixing dynamic tracks to the less dynamic home market. This is blatant and complete crushing of the dynamic range so that highs and lows are thus lost in a sea of loud. The reason why movies have always escaped this fate found in virtually all music releases since 1995 is that they can never be one set level since movies are naturally rising and falling in audio levels.

But this could represent an emerging trend that would kill dynamics in film which should never happen since it would be even worse than what happened in the music industry.
