Subtitles are great for this, but also investing in actual speakers instead of a soundbar or the tv's speakers.
If the movie has multiple sound channels beyond left/right, then dialogue is usually one of those channels and can come from a specific speaker, making it less muddied than when mixed with other sounds.
If the movie doesn't have multiple channels, the speakers might still help a little just by being better quality.
What's wrong with sound bars? I don't want my whole living room redesigned with speakers everywhere, I just want stereo and each frequency to sound decent.
No amount of software will make speakers in front of you sound like they're behind you. Plus there's not really much distance between the speakers in the sound bar, so even the main speakers are very center focused. Lastly, they're small speakers. You can create a lot of sound with small speakers, but it will never fill a room like large speakers, they just can't push enough air. I can hear my big floor standing speakers at reasonable volume throughout the house. I'd have to turn smaller speakers up to painful levels to hear them in the other room.
I'm intrigued by this - do you mean that the smaller speakers sound unpleasant at the same volume you need to hear it in the other room, or that a literal higher volume is required? The latter goes against how I thought sound worked!
If you have the system calibrated for reference levels then it will be the same volume, but it'll require more power to produce it. Yes, it will sound unpleasant, and feel less "full". Unless they're very good small speakers it will sound harsher and can cause more listening strain.
