Same here, I've noticed that mostly since the point Atmos started becoming mainstream, movies just aren't mixed like standard films from the late 90's to 00's. Sure, we didn't have overhead sound sources or admittedly fantastic imaging for the few films that do it right, but overall, everything sort of feels like a narrow, bland tunnel tuned for soundbars / TVs, for which neither Home Theatre nor Soundbar owners enjoy ironically.

The "Enhance Dialogue / Reduce Loud Sounds" feature on the Apple TV has been amazing for helping to rectify this, but I would prefer to leave the dynamic range of the track alone.
