The way in which John David Washington and Robert Pattinson manage to balance the different diverging timelines is an incredible accomplishment in itself. Christopher Nolan manages to execute this breathtaking film with such precision and attention to detail, making it one of, if not his most, impressive accomplishment in his career. Expand

Disclaimer: It gets better with a second viewing.

My initial reaction to Tenet was to give it a 7/10, but on a second viewing I bumped it up to an 8/10. It's not Nolan's best work, but it's not his worst either - I'd rank it as probably his 6th best.

The visuals are amazing and the action is the best Nolan has ever directed. The music fits the scenes well and although not Hans Zimmer is still compelling and powerful. The idea behind the film is - as usual with Nolan - very intriguing and original. But why I refrain from giving this a perfect rating (keep in mind an 8/10 is quite good) is this is not his best written film. The exposition for the first hour or so of the film is rough. It's not entirely clear why what's happening is happening and I wish either it had been cut from the film and streamlined or had been given extra time to fully develop (which was unlikely to happen as convincing a studio to go longer than 2 1/2 hours is nearly impossible, even for Nolan) The characters are also not fleshed out well and the acting is only mediocre, although Kenneth Branagh stands out as the best.

Altogether, a very entertaining film. Imaginative, expansive, and uniquely Nolan. But for a director of such magnitude and reputation, it may disappoint some viewers. 8/10 is hardly a bad film and is in fact a very, very good one. But when perfection is expected, very good can be a letdown sometimes. Is that our fault for having such high expectations? Or Nolan's for having raised the bar so high in the past? Regardless, the second viewing is a superior experience for both understanding the plot and for having reset expectations.

Tenet is a movie that made me buy a movie ticket.
In times of endlessly rehashed movie concepts, live action remakes (what even is the point of that?), the milking of brands to their breaking point, this movie is a breath of fresh air. It combines the concept of inverting objects or even yourself with gorgeous action scenes, the fact that almost none of the characters have actual names didn't even occur to me when the credits rolled. It's not as good as other movies by Christopher Nolan, like Interstellar (my favourite movie of all time), or Inception, but in modern mainstream cinema it's something fresh, I really recommend you to go to the cinema to watch it.
(Also you should watch the video Exurb1a made about it)

It's long, well filmed and cast and technically very interesting. Definitely something you've never seen before. Watch it knowing nothing and then watch it again to try and figure things out. Can't wait to get a copy and run parts of it backwards.

Great movie, visuals are fantastic, the sound is amazing. If you dont like the sound in this movie, you either saw it at a terrible cinema or downloaded some crappy copy. Great acting by the bunch, Pattisons best in my eyes.

The plot is complex for sure, a bit hard than both Inception and Interstellar but I like that Nolan keep experimenting with time.

It looked really cool and special and it it conveyed the idea of a really cool film so I'll give it 8 circles. My phone won't let me see words typing so if it's a mess that's why. Expand

"Tenet" may find writer/director/time f*ckery enthusiast Christopher Nolan at his most thematically spare, but that doesn't mean the journey itself isn't a blast from start to finish. Far and away Nolan's most complicated film to date,"Tenet" may find writer/director/time f*ckery enthusiast Christopher Nolan at his most thematically spare, but that doesn't mean the journey itself isn't a blast from start to finish. Far and away Nolan's most complicated film to date, "Tenet's" plot initially unfurls in a manner you'd expect from a typical Nolan film. Don't even think about sleeping on the second half, though, for when the reversals, twists and complications start coming into play, you'll find your own consciousness moving forwards, backwards, longways and sideways through time in order to catch up with all the ways the rules can change in this thing. Big, bold and begging for repeat viewings, "Tenet" ultimately doesn't rank that high on my all-time list of favorites from the filmmaker in question, but when one is dealing with oeuvre of someone like Christopher Nolan, I guess a statement like that doesn't hold nearly as much weight as it usually does. Indeed, "Tenet" is still great in most of the ways that count. Expand

All the practical effects here are amazing. Especially the plane sequence and the war sequence. I’m genuinely impressed and curious about how he was able to do some of this stuff since the movie deals with time inversion. There’s a lot of stuff going forwards and backwards in a scene and I really want to know how Nolan did it. The cinematography is fantastic as always and the score is great. Hans Zimmer is missed here but I think Ludwig Göransson did an excellent job doing his own thing while also throwing in elements of Zimmer in there too. The editing can feel a little bit awkward at points but it’s good for the most part and the sound editing is great. The only issue in the technical category I have is the sound mixing. Unfortunately, Nolan decides to turn the mixing up a little too loud during important scenes and it can be hard to hear what some of the actors are saying. Speaking of actors, almost everyone here does a great job with John David Washington, Robert Pattinson, and Elizabeth Debicki being standouts. There isn’t a lot of depth to their characters which can mute some of the emotional weight at points but it wasn’t a huge issue for me. The plot is unique and different but definitely is incredibly confusing and will most likely require rewatches to fully comprehend it. If you are a fan of Christopher Nolan or want to see something in theaters, I urge you to check this out. Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Tenet was an extremely entertaining movie, with an absolutely incredible concept displayed masterfully in this movie. The execution is also brilliant, the editing, acting, soundtrack and script were all very well made and the whole plot has a lot of detail which some people will think is pretentious but others will love because it makes this movie even better on a rewatch. The characters are interesting, however at some point you could say there is a bit of a lack of personality. I can see where people are coming from when they say this but i mostly disagree. A common criticism i hear is that there isnt really any back story given for the characters. My counter argument is why should there be? I think that even though we dont know much about the characters and dont know their intentions behind their actions, it doesnt mean we cant root for them. We can see the "the protagonist" played by john david washington is the kind of person who cares a lot for other people from the beginning, and this is a perfectly plausable reason for him going back to save kat and for his determination in completing his mission. Overall tenet is by no means a perfect movie, (the sound mixing at some parts was quite poor) but it is a very unique one with a great concept and execution. Expand

On one had I kept hearing how confusing it was - so that prepared me nicely not to feel as confused as I might have felt otherwise. On the other hand, this was my first new movie back in the theaters following the covid19 closures, and it was a Christopher Nolan movie so I was really excited to see this! That led me to in the end feel disappointed (how could anything live up to those expectations).

For the first portion of the film, I found myself thinking, " this is not the movie I anticipated seeing based on the trailer". It felt like a mission impossible movie with different actors. When things changed, it felt like I was being rewarded for hanging in there - and to an extent, the reward was satisfying!

Going into the film thinking it was a spy movie where the spies can at will step backwards in time to stop certain events sounded like a fun concept. The movie itself didn't have the "fun" quality I was anticipating. It was pretty much serious the whole way through. But then I have to remember what other Christopher Nolan movies feel like. They too are pretty serious.

Thinking back on the movie, it was a cool, very intelligent film - a gift to us film goers. Some of the dialogue was hard to track with, but it kept me working to keep up with it, and I felt rewarded in the end. For me it wasn't as good as inception, but it good along those lines. Thank you Mr. Nolan and team for working so hard to give us this cool and unique film going experience!

The special effects and real-time location shots are some of the best of Nolan's career, James Bond-like and brilliantly photographed in a time sequence format by his cinematographer, Hoyte van Hoytema, who worked as DP on 2 other Christopher Nolan films, "Dunkirk" and "Interstellar." These are reasons the film should be seen in the cinema, on the big screen, to be truly appreciated. Took 2 points off (8 out-of 10) because, while I understood the concept of TENET, Saving the World and International Espionage, the plot is the most challenging to follow of all Nolan's movies. The film moves so quickly, so much going on, that plot points were missed in this first screening of the movie. In true Nolan fashion, as with some of his other films, TENET will require multiple viewings to discover what was missed and to fully comprehend the story. Fine performances from John David Washington as Protagonist, Robert Pattinson as his past-present-future partner Neil, Elizabeth Debicki and Kenneth Branagh who makes a great villain, and a cameo appearance from Nolan muse Michael Caine.

It is definitely Nolan's least accessible work, but that does not make the movie less valuable. I understood maybe 20 percent of it after my first watch, but even then I really liked what he did with 007-genre. Soundtrack and atmosphere are amazing.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Speechless Masterpiece! Its a top tier Chris Nolan movie the vision and execution were bigger. the music by Ludwig was literally spine chilling it was intense and awesome specially the reverse tracks were mind-blowing. the plot was confusing and complex as hell as it was said in movie don't try to understand it feel it. I did same and literally people were scratching heads while I Enjoyed the movie it was a magic. Literally for me its the best Imax Experience ever. from the moment the movie starts from then to end I don't even want to blink for a sec it was that awesome. the pacing was like butter it was smooth and brilliant, the starting intro with little comedy was surprising and the overall 1st half was good but when 2nd half was started literally The words are undiscovered to speak about this movie it was literally a Mind-blowing experience the way they connected plots and links with addition to awesome detailing it was fascinating. the action from start to end was god tier it was brilliant and the overall complex plot watching without paying attention to details make it simple understanding it was like once u start paying attention it was that complex and detail the brain feels the flexes but watching just like that feels badass and brilliantly fascinating it will be like didn't understand a thing but still its a masterpiece. the acting was Legendary John-David-Washington was badass, Elizabeth was stunning, Kenneth was Brilliant, Dimple-Kapadiya was surprisingly amazing and Rob-Pattinson was Heart and soul he was literally amazing specially at end the whole mystery was literally ground-breaking and at same time it was emotionally amazing. Overall the editing and production design was literally nail-bitingly awesome the inverted fight/chase and "stalsk 12" fight scenes was like how the hell they edited that thing it was literally the G.O.A.T scenes in action history. the cinematography was stunning, music,direction,acting,action,Plot and Concepts of time inversion, entropy the grand father paradox and all it was like Nolan played with his fav toy "Time" it was mind-blowing, The whole movie is a Never seen before experience Literally many re-watches needed to understand it fully. Its a Epic God tier Pure Masterpiece movie!


2nd Experience : It was much clear concept and story made sense, The James bond ish 1st half and inception ish 2nd half with it the reverse concept it was just mind-blowingly cool. The protagonists name and his identity about he recuriting niel and his mission felt clear, the temporal pincer character Apperances doubts are cleared and the whole concept of time and all that too were cleared, The sator's idealogy makes him awesome antagonist and the ending it was just brilliant. The overall movie is just a Creative Masterpiece!

At first I was blown away by the sound, with a great system it rattles through the whole place (that would have been really great in the cinema). When it came to the sound, I thought to myself "Wait a minute, that sounds familiar, somehow like Mandalorian" ... after the film, I took a quick look and you read Ludwig Göransson, great.

I liked the cinematic representation of the film very much, it all looks really strong and offers impressive images. Acting is also absolutely delivered here.

Regarding the actual story, I'll just say that I basically liked it, but didn't pull up any trees. It was very exciting in most parts (the intro is really blatant) and tied you to the chair. But every now and then I had the feeling that the film was languishing for a few minutes. Over time, the whole topic was "complex" networked, but I missed the "WTF moments" a bit, but there were nice brackets.

Overall, absolutely to be recommended, preferably with a good system. 8/10 inversions.

I saw it a second time however, and after digesting some of what I saw the first time, the movie made much more sense and I could appreciate much more of the experience. Now, I love the movie. It was an "experience" and I'm still thinking about it days later, listening to the soundtrack, doing web searches about some of the concepts and... well you get the idea. Every scene is crafted. Every sound effect is considered. It is a great movie going experience. Don't listen to the criticisms (which are perfectly valid by the way) but this is not a "zero" score as some users have rated it. It isn't a "5 or 6" either. This is movie magic and very good. If you don't "get it" and can't understand all of the dialogue (and that is understandable) just go with the action and sound, and then get it on Blu-ray later with subtitles and watch it a few more times (I know I will). This is one of those movies that will be entertaining on the 4th and 5th viewings. I just can't understand the hate by some - but to each their own. I really love the sci-fi trappings and over the top concepts. This is great stuff. Expand

It kept me watching but... and it is a big but. You must turn on Closed Captioning to understand the constant explanations throughout the movie. The actors "mumble" (for dramatic effect). You must turn on CC right from the beginning or you will become lost very quickly. The lighting decisions do not work (for dramatic effect). Often I could not see the protagonist's expressions (nor read his lips) as he was moving or in the shadows. An extremely flawed movie that might be really good the 2nd, 3rd, or 4th time watching but not the 1st time. This movie was made specifically for the movie theatre where you can focus. Your computer or at home on the TV, not so much. Expand

Yet, it is a film of incredibleExpecting TENET to be the 'savior' of cinemas were a bit foolhardy on hindsight. On one hand, Chris Nolan presented a film with incredible set pieces that would have wowed audiences in the IMAX crowd. Yet, it is a film of incredible complexity, explained by dialogue that were obscured by the typical "Nolan sound mixing". It is literally impossible to comprehend the flick without any subtitles. As such, having watched it at home, I could simply pause the film..rewind and see the portions that were difficult to understand. Can you do that in the cinemas? No, you can't. Having Nolan huffing and puffing to Warner Bros for releasing day to date their future movies on their streaming services meant that his reasoning to force WB to release it would involve a bit of his own ego (?). As such, this was not up to par with most of his projects (I would grade this higher than Insomnia, but lower than the Prestige in term of his works). Its box office under performance all over the world may be the reason WB radically changed their release strategy in 2021, changing moviegoing for good. Expand

Bold, brilliant, amazing, complex.

Probably the most unique and mindblowing action movie ever made.

Tenet ranks among the very best of Nolan's work.

I had low expectations after Dunkirk, a movie that had very little going on, without the inventiveness and complexity of Nolan's best movies.

Tenet blew me away. I wonder if the 7.2 user score and 69 critic score is just because some people hate complexity. I loved it. And I loved that Tenet requires multiple viewings to figure out all of what's going on.

I am very impressed by Tenet and consider it to be one of the most unique and intelligent Hollywood movies I've seen.

It is an exciting action-thriller that tries hard to define itself as a smart science-fiction time puzzle. It is a really imaginative spy movie that asks you to believe in a universe with laws of physics of its own. It is Nolan at its most self, however, from a first-viewing experience, Nolan seems to underperform. As usual with Nolan's style of storytelling, Tenet is bold in what it expects from its audience, which might not help it with those who won't be convinced to watch it again. It is sometimes too fast and too complex to follow for those who only watch it once, though their eyes will be delighted by an ultra-fast paced story driven by spectacular action set-pieces, fights, and chases. On second-viewing however, you not only enjoy those things again and more so, but you appreciate certain things that at first you weren't able to detect or digest, such as character development so nuanced that is all the more delectable on second-viewing. Personally, I do like a puzzling narrative, but I normally don't appreciate a mandatory second viewing. With Tenet though, the 2nd-viewing experience was very gratifying, building up in a considerable amount in a number of ways.

In the end, Tenet is a masterful technical exercise in filmmaking that is welcomed at perhaps one of the quietest times in cinema's history. It is truly sad that a pandemic won't allow Tenet to fulfill its destiny as a blockbuster in its loudest sense.

Great performances from the cast helped with immersion even as the craziness of it all sometimes made me take a step back as I tried to figure things out. Some missteps and plot holes serve to keep this as good, but not great. Would probably watch it again, just to see it once more from a perspective of knowing how everything fits together. Expand

The setpieces are always visually stunning and the concepts are designed to be baffling. They're not something that lend themselves well to visual explanation but now I see them more like David Lynch movies - almost dream like. And when i watch the movies with this feeling - like we are not supposed to wholly understand, then you can just enjoy them for the silly dialogue that is designed to be baffling and nonsensical and just engage with the mish mashy spectacle of the whole mess. Then they are fun and enjoyable. If you take it too seriously and analytically, which, granted you might feel like you are supposed to, then it's a massive disappointment. If you enjoy it like a mission impossible thriller then it's a fun ride and visually stunning.

there will always be a place in my heart for the prestige and memento though and dunkirk was solid. they hold up on many different levels. tenet can be enjoyable if you keep your analytical and logical brain in check and just enjoy on a visceral level. kinda like a brainy fast and furious lol.

But at least he tries hard to make you think while watching the movie and in the days afterwards. Acting was a mixed bag, sometimes I felt it a bit jarring. If I had to find a nuisance, compared to the other Nolan movies, the usual mandatory rewatching to understand completely the first viewing, wasn’t as enjoyable as usual, mainly because this time the complexity of the story felt more like a puzzle to solve. Overall, not a masterpiece, but an excellent movie for those who want to be engaged in a complex story and original material. Expand

Tenet has a pretty straightforward premise: A super agent called Protagonist has to stop an evil mastermind to begin World War III, it is kind of a 007 movie. What is not straightforward is everything in between.

The movie presents us with a reversing time mechanic which it's a pretty neat idea, it also is not as hard to grasp, but it is shown and explained so many times in different and convoluted ways that it ends up being confusing. At first, it's introduced as something you can do with "reversed" items, but after that, it appears that they forgot this, and then it is more like you need a machine to get in that state. The reversing rules feel like they are ever bending, and here lies the main problem with this film: it is always on shaky ground. As aforementioned, Nolan does dense movies that anyone can watch and enjoy, but this comes with the problem of when is too much exposition? When it's better to let go of your audiences a little? It's obvious that he didn't trust the audience would get the reversing thing so he ended over-explaining it and ultimately that decision backfired. It doesn't help that most of this exposition it's given to us in the most basic forms: characters explaining it to other characters while walking or eating at a table, this happens many times throughout the movie to the point of it becoming repetitive device. It is worth noting that a lot of dialogue it's eaten by loud sounds and noise from the background, this can become an annoyance since it is easy to lose track of the plot with these auditive obstacles, some people are theorizing about this high noise being intentional, and that might be true as it's unlikely for a director so invested in sound would let this slide up, still it's bothersome and if that's true it is a terrible gimmick to add re-watch value to the movie.

The rhythm of the film can be off, but it is never dull or boring, even with the things mentioned before. As an action movie, it is great on its action scenes since they get pretty creative with the reversing, the only bad thing about them is the final set-piece. It's an incredibly choreographed scene with lots of stakes and dynamism, yet, it is stained by these double simultaneous fights where another character is doing something more uninteresting with allegedly higher stakes, but at the same time, they felt lower.

Most of the cast is pretty solid, and the characters are likable. John David Washington as Protagonist and Robert Pattinson as Niel are pretty good, they are charisma walking machines, however, the one performance that I liked the most it's from Elizabeth Debicki, her character is the only one with a more definite arc, and it also displays a wide range of emotions through the movie, I can see how this character could not work with another actor, but Debicki fleshed her up extremely well. On the other hand, the antagonist played by Kenneth Branagh didn't work for me, he is a great actor, yet the decisions made surrounding his character are way too cartoony for his good.

Tenet is an unnecessarily convoluted movie filled with exposition dialogue but fun action scenes. As with other Nolan movies, this one has a rewatching value, I can see how someone would pass over a second glance, but to me, I could have a second view because as flawed as it is, it's entertaining from the start to finish.

En este momento trágico la industria del entretenimiento está innovando soluciones a una velocidad alarmante para no desaparecer las toneladas de dinero que la mantienen a flote. Una realidad vergonzosa de un arte indispensable. En medio de la tormenta está Nolan, abrazando a "Tenet" como una gran esperanza del cine.
Lo primero en resaltar es la música. La primera colaboración entre Nolan y Ludwig Goransson crea un aura que complementa de una forma magnifica la velocidad y tención narrativa. Un trabajo hermoso por parte de Goransson.
El festival de efectos visuales y la complejidad del concepto cautivarán al público de diferentes formas. Este no es su mejor trabajo visual, pero hay un sentido de valentía e intelecto en la mecánica de toda la película. Aprecié mucho eso tanto como el fuerte lazo entre lo visual y lo narrativo. Nolan explora una concepción del tiempo y espacio compleja de asimilar y se agradece la fuerte coherencia entre la imagen del espacio y el tiempo narrativo.
La autenticidad, frescura y complejidad del guión puede comprometer al público, especialmente por la velocidad en la que suceden los eventos, pero yo lo tomo como un ejercicio de habilidad mental que, con una atención y una mente crítica, las resoluciones estimulará a los más concentrados.
En cuestión a la actuación no hay mucho drama, pero la tensión que se logra es adecuada y proviene de la interacción entre los delirios de grandeza de Kenneth Branagh y el resentimiento de Elizabeth Debicki. Fuera de ellos, los personajes tienen personalidad y actitud, y la prontitud de la química entre John David Washington y Robert Pattinson facilitan el enfoque en la meta.
"Tenet" es una experiencia que vale mucho la pena tener. En medio de su complejidad, hay un espectáculo muy interesante de ver y, aunque volvamos varias veces al film para encontrar respuestas, siempre será un viaje lleno de emoción y sorpresas.

In this tragic moment, the entertainment industry is innovating solutions at an alarming pace to keep the tons of money that keep it floating. A shameful reality of an essential art. In the middle of the storm is Nolan, hugging “Tenet” as a big hope for cinema.
The first highlight is the music. The first collaboration between Nolan and Ludwig Goransson creates an aura that superbly complements the narrative speed and tension. A beautiful work by Goransson. The festival of visual effects and the complexity of the concept will captivate the public in different forms. This is not his best visual work, but there is a sense of bravery and intellect in the mechanics of the whole film. I appreciated this as much as the strong bond between the visual and the narrative. Nolan explores a conception of time and space sufficiently complex to assimilate, and that is appreciated the strong coherence between the image of space and the narrative time. The authenticity, freshness, and complexity of the script might compromise the public, especially due to the speed at which the events happens, but I take it as a mental ability exercise that, with attention and a critical mind, the resolutions will stimulate the concentrated ones. About the acting, there is not much drama. But the tension that is accomplished is adequate and derives from the interaction between the delusion of greatness of Kenneth Branagh and the resentment of Elizabeth Debicki. Apart from this, the characters have personality and attitude, and the promptness of the chemistry between John David Washington and Robert Pattison facilitates the focus to the goal. “Tenet” is an experience that is worth a lot. Amidst its complexity, there is a very interesting show to watch and, even though we may have to go back to the film several times to find some answers, it will always be a journey full of excitement and surprises.

Фильм даже не показался затянутым. Наверно, это потому что были крайне заниженные ожидания, и на их фоне фильм все-таки удивил, не знаю. Но эмоции, полученные от просмотра, это самое главное. Такие вещи я ценю. Хороший фильм. Expand

TENET serves up all the best parts of his best films into one, and it's a shame that the beautifully zany result is so awfully underrated. No film has ever been made like this!

No film has ever been made like this! No one has toyed with time in the screenplay and imagery like this. Ever! Only Christopher Nolan would be bold and ambitious enough to create a wildly wonderful masterpiece like this, and by God, it is indeed a masterpiece. The music was really good, surprisingly. Shame it wasn't Zimmer (just kidding, the music was fantastic, I'm just a Zimmer superfan). Must-watch for fans of Nolan, sci-fi, Bond, espionage, thriller, and excellent/ambitious/unpredictable/mind-boggling/fresh films. Expand

Tenet is one of Nolan’s best. The plot may be VERY confusing, however, everything that happens is absolutely amazing with the cast and their acting making the film all the more incredible

新穎的穿越時空題材
超乎想像的動作設計 不管重看多少次都仍令人意猶未盡
震撼腦髓的動人配樂 讓人更容易置身在亂而有序的故事裡 即使細節並不完美 但表現仍屬上乘 至少我敢肯定 沒人能把同樣的題材表演得更精彩

The finale was amazing I thought it was really well done with a lot of tension and really cool plot twist, and the ending talk with Neil and the protagonist....Damm that was trippy. Definitely give this one a watch.

I have never seen so complicated action. I'm sure that I understood only the half, but even this is enough to give that movie an 8/10.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Christopher Nolan has done movies explaining concepts of space (Interstellar), dreams (Inception) and society (The Dark Knight Trilogy). This time he made a movie on time. Although I like the fact that he made a movie about time travellers which is nothing like what we would have done if we were given a chance, it wasn't done properly. A lot of people who are writing praises for this movie are accusing the critics of not being able to understand the concept of the movie. It's not that people don't understand the concept; sometimes the rules of the universe are established and then they themselves are not being followed.

Think about it. If suppose someone is being shot. So they get hit with the bullet and then they bleed. Simple, right? Now think of this in reverse. They will have to stop bleeding and then the bullet will pass through them. But in this movie they bleed AFTER the bullet passes through them, as though their blood is being affected by the reverse bullet. It would have made sense if this was said at some point but it isn't. I'm giving the example of the gunfire because that's about half the scenes in this movie. The car chase scenes, however, were done absolutely correctly. The sailing of the ships, the explosions, the part where The Protagonist meets himself, everything was done in absolute perfection.

There were many times when the movie brought up things that were never talked about later. The movie began with a scene about an anti-terror squad to show the protagonist. But this was never brought up ever again. They said they need to have committed an act for the positive entropy to work, but most of the times they don't do those acts, especially in the fight scenes or the ending when Kat shoots Sator. Neil is said to have come from the future, but he doesn't act in reverse the way other people from the future do.

Filmmaking should always follow the rule of "show, don't tell", which this movie had to continuously violate because of how complicated it was. This is a movie that was too complex even for Christopher Nolan, such that even the ordinary audience can easily pinpoint the mistakes. He bit a lot bigger than he could chew. Let's hope the next time he makes a movie that is complex to look at but easy to grip over like how Inception or The Dark Knight were.
