Ugggghhhh. That means I absolutely can’t watch it. No dialogue and flashies. Ugggghhh. Thank you for the warning. I might have tried.
I’m sorry. it might vary by theater sound system, but I really struggled with it, and I am not a person who normally has great trouble parsing movie dialogue. Adam Driver’s not a great enunciator at the best of times, and behind a mask, well– I mean, it’s our introduction to the character, Poe being like “uhh I can’t understand you” in the beginning of TFA, remember that? Well nobody makes a joke but it’s still the situation. And Rey hisses a lot of things through gritted teeth, and i know Oscar Isaac is capable of correct diction but they didn’t seem to want him to. I really genuinely was cranky about it, until I resigned myself that the dialogue is generally the least important part of a Star War.
If you’ve got issues with either of these things, this is very definitely a small screens only, subtitles on kind of movie. I’m so sorry. It’s not actually half the movie, but there’s a whole planet, whereupon a great deal of the action occurs, that is lit solely by lightning, so it’s just all strobes, quite violently. it’s sort of a neat effect for like one or two shots including some great reveals of a character, but then it just… is the only light.. for minutes at a time, on several occasions. I would estimate with no exaggeration that it’s probably a solid twenty minutes of the movie. I sort of can’t believe they did that, it seems entirely unnecessary.
