So what about older films? Can you understand Die Hard on the same set? What about Lord of the Rings? That would help to determine whether it's newer films or your newer speakers that are the problem since millions of people have enjoyed those films with no problems.
Replying late, but yes, I have less trouble with older films. It is a mix of more articulate acting (worse on-set mics so actors spoke rather than mutter), and less over-the-top mixing.
For current movies, some of the most legible are "children" oriented movies: I watched the Dragons set and it was trouble-free.
