I’m constantly having to turn the volume up and down depending on the what the scene is. It’s not just me either. A lot of people I know have resorted to just turning on the closed captioning so they can hear what they’re saying. I don’t remember this being an issue before.

It’s not your speakers or your setup. It’s how the movie was made. I was just discussing this yesterday with my friend who helps create and determine audio/video standards. It’s such a problem, that the TV manufacturers have come up with a new future standard to put the vocals on their own dedicated channel so the sound bars and TVs can fix the audio for consumers.
However, if you have a surround system, try to increase the volume level of the center channel. If you have an equalizer (in your TV/soundbar/whatever), try turning up the levels on vocal frequencies.
Additionally, you can crank up the volume in your living room to make the sound as loud as a theater. Then you’ll be able to hear the vocals, but the music and explosions will be really loud just like in a theater. Though, it’ll sound/feel louder than a theater to you because you’re in a smaller space.
