I watched 28 Weeks Later last week, on my 5.1 system, and the mixing was absolutely atrocious. I was constantly adjusting the volume up to hear dialogue, only for a loud as fuck jump scare to blast out my ear drums.
Completely ruined any enjoyment I would have gotten from it.

^Hey, let me tell you this secret. Ellen is gonna^

There’s tools to normalize audio in a movie. Dynamic range compression or something like the dynaudnorm filter in ffmpeg.
Yeah, I was streaming it on Prime, or HBO Max or something so… wasn’t really an option at the time.
