My only exposure to machine translating - that I know of - is YouTube subtitles, and it does a terrible job. Being very hard of hearing and sometimes watching videos at work and not wanting to wear headphones and appear exclusionary to patrons (I work in a university library), if I don't need to actually listen I'll just use subtitles.
Fortunately, for the most part, DVD/Blu-ray movies will use actual subtitles. I'm not 100% sure about streaming services.
