Outstanding....You do need to come prepared to pay attention. Don't drink prior for this one. It will start to make sense 1/2 through. At the end, its typical Nolan. But its outstanding. And the people that didn't "get it" are dumb

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The movie barely makes an effort to explain the massive quantities of incoherences and potential plot holes by smothering key explanation scenes with metaphors and perplexing dialogues. The dialogues are in fact extremely unrealistic and almost "shakespearean" at times. Even after watching it multiple times and reading variois explanations, it is still full of plot holes and nonsense. I really think nolan exagerated this time… Expand

I didn't enjoy it, as much as i would have liked, however my score could be higher if I watch it a second time. But what I did like was the beautifully visual effects. That I must say, is something amazing work. The best thing about Tenet, is Ludwig Göransson's amazing score. That is just some goosebump music at its best.

Of things I dislike, of course I dislike that I think the story is too complex at first, but that doesn't mean it is bad. But one thing I found annoying was the quick cuts. In about 5 minutes The Protagonist went from Norway to India to the UK just without any real development in the story, but just for the sake of the locations been present multiple times. It is like the cuts were randomized.
Also there wasn't much development about the characters. The antagonist Sator is everything a "normal" villain is, with a agenda like every other villain. That is fine, but it is nothing that haven't been seen before.

So a good "visual effects" movie with a complex story, that deserves a second watch to figure out the story, and then my score might be higher.… Expand

But then again, that alone is a nice filling when you think about it, because a movie with so much meat on its bone, sizzling with rich flavours and so much to chew on, there’s really no need for appetisers.

‘Tenet’ is a head scratcher of a movie, but I really really liked it. I did not fully understand all of it, especially on my first watch, and that is perfectly alright. Despite the movie being 2 hours and 30 minutes long, the movie runs at a quick pace with characters speaking at a fast rate, so it is a rush against time to try and keep up. Repeat viewings and discussions will be seriously needed to solve this complex, but grand puzzle.

As I said before, you can love or hate Christopher Nolan, but there is no denying the craftsmanship on screen is nothing more than extraordinary. I am not a die-hard fan of Nolan, even though I would consider him one of the best working director. I mean, there literally crashed a Boeing 747 plane for real in this movie. I have no idea how they filmed and executed it. I rarely asked this, but it gives me great pleasure to sit in a cinema and say, “how the hell did he do that?” And trust me, there was plenty of that throughout the movie. This Nolan guy is a madman.

All of Nolan movies follow the theme of time, but in this movie, time becomes his playground. There was some stunning and jaw dropping scenes involving time bending and reversing of time that was easily the highlight of the movie. I also love how it involves objects and the environment around the characters. What is even more impressive is that there was a mixture of both practical and visually trickery in some scenes. There was a fight between scene a SWAT guard and The Protagonist (John David Washington), one is fighting in reverse, while the other is fighting normal. A fantastic scene. The cast and crew trained for weeks learning how to move and fight backwards, while visual trickery was used in some aspect. Some old school movie magic.

The performances from everyone was solid. The presence of John David Washington makes his character The Protagonist compelling to watch. Robert Battinson, on the other hand, was the show stealer for me as this charming and sly fox. I hope his performance further makes mainstream audiences move away from his ‘Twilight’ days. I was surprised to see Aaron Taylor-Johnson in this movie and almost did not recognise him at first, but he was great. Elizabeth Debicki was also great, and her character was the only emotional anchor of the movie, in terms of the audience finding some attachment to.

I enjoyed Kenneth Branagh as the Russian villain of the movie and Branagh fully goes for it, as he is chewing up the scenes. Whenever the scene requires seriousness, I think Branagh pulled it off well, even if the character itself was a stereotypical Russian that you would see in a James Bond movie. Other actors such as: Himesh Patel, Dimple Kapadia, Clémence Poésy, and Michael Caine were all good.

The sound work in the movie was incredible. There was an extreme focus on certain details with sounds that adds so much to the intensity and scope of the movie, especially the gunshots which sounded very realistic and had that loud echo to it. It reminded me of Michael Mann’s ‘Heat’ and ‘Collateral’, in terms of gun shots.

The score from Ludwig Göransson was phenomenal and hearing it in the cinema was intense. It fitted every scene so perfectly. An electronic soundtrack with the melody playing backwards. The cinematography by Hoyte Van Hoytema was great once again and it was incredibly striking to watch. Everything on a technical standpoint was a marvel.

However, I have my issues with the movie. First, I had a hard time understanding some of the dialogue or what the characters were saying. Not because it was complicated, but because it was hard to make out what was being said. I mean, some of it was muffled. Subtitles would have been lovely. It also did not help that the characters talk really quick.

I am confident that this movie will have a special place in the future, as the ideas this movie presents is too fascinating to forget or brush off. Even days after seeing the movie, I am still examining the elements that came to light and piece together the puzzle to get the whole sense of the picture. Even those who think they got the plot; I can bet they are dead wrong. Those are the best qualities to a movie, in my opinion. A movie that only tells you so much and leaves your brain fighting for hints, but it’s that urgency of knowing the answers and returning to a movie that you weren’t keen on before, to only discover something new that you never got before. “ᴡᴇ ʟɪᴠᴇ ɪɴ ᴀ ᴛᴡɪʟɪɢʜᴛ ᴡᴏʀʟᴅ. ᴀɴᴅ ᴛʜᴇʀᴇ ᴀʀᴇ ɴᴏ ꜰʀɪᴇɴᴅꜱ ᴀᴛ ᴅᴜꜱᴋ.”… Expand

The fact of the matter is this film isn't for everyone. You have to be invested in the idea of inversion as a whole to truly understand this film. Not Emily from buzzfeed who's favorite movie is twilight. Is tenet complicated? Hell yes. Tenet is easily director Christopher Nolan's most complex film to date but it's also his most ambitious in that right. This is Christopher Nolan's take on a bond film and wow is it spectacular. Now to actually the review part of the movie. Tenet clearly shows that most of Christopher Nolan's work has led up to this film. You can see influences of Inception, Memento, and Dunkirk clearly present. That is not a critisism however due to it only elevating the film to be somewhat familiar but still a breathe of fresh air from the "rollercoaster films" we are used to seeing in 2020. The only critisism I have for tenet is the setting up for the story was not done as well as it could and became often a jumbled mess of connections to characters that you know nothing else about. The biggest strength of tenet is its last act however. The pacing is incredible and keeps you invested in the films finale. The ending didn't quite have the punch of Nolan's other films such as Interstellar but it still was a satisfying ending none the less. I do hope Nolan goes against his norms and makes a sequel for tenet however as out of all Nolan's films other than the dark knight this film cries for a sequel. In conclusion tenet isn't for the people looking for a simple film or people who have critisized Nolan's films in the past but if you do not fall under that category then Tenet is an engaging spy movie like none you have ever seen before and is among the director's best. Tenet is spectacular....… Expand

Perhaps this was Christopher Nolan's most ambitious film to date with a fantastic soundtrack (which, by the way, was way too loud for us to really enjoy it) and different timelines that eventually came together. The biggest downside to this film is simply that it is (almost) impossible to understand when you see the film for the first time or ‘just once’. Still, this film really left me thinking about the plot for days. In comparison; Inception was fun and difficult in a good way. Tenet takes it it a step further and rubs against the edge where the difficulty of the plot almost gets in the way of the fun and enjoyment.… Expand

Script felt rough and hastily put together. The ideas are forced to the point of cringe. Action sequences are awkward as is the norm in noylan's other movies. It's too self-impressed and tiltilated by its own cleverness. It's just not enjoyable to watch. Nolan is a hack. The Emperor has no clothes. I couldn't care less abt the characters. The premise is frankly incredibly stupid. Good luck understanding the dialog. Sound mix is all over the place coupled with the most annoying soundtrack since inception.

However, the use of "Inversion" really adds a layer on top of this movie and makes itFirstly, I got to praise the originality of this movie. Yes, it is a spy espionage movie and borrows a lot of element from the previous movies of the like. However, the use of "Inversion" really adds a layer on top of this movie and makes it feel like no other movie has. This "inversion" is best seen in the action sequences which result in some visually stunning spectacles. On that note, the action sequences are phenomenal from the car chase to the plane crash and my favourite being the fight scene between the protagonist and an inversion soldier. It's even more impressive when you realise that most of these action scenes are practical and not CGI which benefits the movie by not taking the audience out of it and keeping as glued to what's going on.

Unfortunately, legendary composer Hans Zimmer does not return for Tenet and is instead replaced by Ludwig Göransson of Black Panther and Mandalorian fame. Despite that, Ludwig gives an impressive electronic score that elevates every scene and is deafening in a good way. If you didn't know Hans Zimmer was not scoring this movie and watched it, you still probably would think Hans Zimmer was still scoring it. The story is also intriguing enough to keep the audience engaged. It is simple with the agents having to prevent the "Russian" bad guy from dooming the world! However, the inclusion of inversion does add an extra element to the plot and makes the audience think about the movie. Even after it was finished, I was still thinking about the movie. The inversion adds an element of unpredictability to the movie and starts to change the way the movie operates. However, this inversion doesn't take focus until halfway through the movie. For the first hour, it is just a spy espionage movie with a lot of exposition and setup but the second half goes into high gear and is when it gets really good.

The actors are for the most part give really good performances. Special mention to Elizabeth Debicki as "Kat" who gives an emotive performance of a woman who is practically in a domestically abusive relationship. John David Washington as "The Protagonist" (yes seriously...) has the suave and coolness from an agent spy, Robert Pattinson as "Neil" gives a lot of charm and wit to his performance and Kenneth Branagh as "Andrei Sator" is frightening in his performance as the villain. One major flaw about the movie, in my opinion, is the characterisation. You can already see this when the main character's name is never mentioned whatsoever in the movie. Apart from Kat (Elizabeth Debicki ) and Neill (Robert Pattinson), to a certain extent, are very bland and one dimensional. The protagonist (John David Washington) is the "good guy" and doesn't have anything else from that. We don't know his backstory, his feelings or even his real name for that matter. The character doesn't even have that big of a reaction to the inversion thing either and can feel rather robotic. Andrei Sator (Kenneth Branagh) suffers from a similar aspect to the protagonist is an over the top Russian bad guy and wants to end the world and wants to control his wife. There are some other supporting characters introduced in the movie and sadly they also are lacking in depth. The only emotive aspect in this movie is the abusive relationship between Kat and Andrei Sator. However, apart from that the movie very lacking in a lot of humanity and emotional moments.

The second major flaw is the sound mixing in this movie. The voices of the actors are just so muffled or rather low sometimes which makes it hard to hear what they are saying. This gets even more difficult when the characters are wearing a mask or have incredibly strong accents like Kenneth's Russian accent. Occasionally, the loud music score is really loud during conversations between characters. This is quite detrimental to the movie as every dialogue is really important to understanding the movie and not being able to hear it because of weird sound mixing is not great.

A minor flaw is the "inversion" explanation. It is still quite confusing to understand and while it is explained in the movie to a certain extent, it can still leave you rather confused and dumbfounded. It isn't a major problem as it gives a rough idea of the concept and in the end, this rough understanding is all that's needed to enjoy the movie. Just like a character says in the movie "Don't try to understand it, Feel it". Although, that is kind of a blatant reason for the director to not explain everything...

Overall, the movie was a blast to watch. It is a bit weaker compared to Nolan's previous movies but is still stunning to watch. It is a grandly entertaining movie that is an absolute spectacle. I highly recommend considering watching it in a theatre as this movie is best experienced there in all its glory.… Expand

The man's a genius and constantly finds new and innovative ways to bend my mind and keep me guessing!Christopher Nolan is one of my all-time favorite directors, so anytime he announces a new film, I'm already stoked for whatever it is! The man's a genius and constantly finds new and innovative ways to bend my mind and keep me guessing! Naturally, having greatly anticipated this latest film of his, I had high expectations, and I can happily say that they were met! Without going into too much detail (cause trust me, the less you know, the better), the film follows a nameless protagonist (John David Washington), who is recruited by a secret organization and tasked with stopping a potential global threat. He also finds himself navigating and bending the laws of physics and time through his journey. First off, the most impressive aspect of this film was easily the action/stunts and effects. Nolan is a director who prides himself in using as little CGI as possible and relying more on realism and practical effects, and it certainly shows here, as everything is so well choreographed! Even more amazing is the fact that he was able to pull it off and incorporate it into the tricky time-inversion aspect of the film! The performances from all involved are stellar, with a great lead performance from John David Washington (fun fact: he's Denzel Washington's son), as well as some committed supporting turns from Robert Pattinson and a very villainous and sinister Kenneth Branagh. In terms of plot and story, I can't even begin to go into too much detail about it, not because of spoilers, but because in all honesty, trying to explain it further would prove quite difficult for me, as it's quite an intricate web of a film. All you should know is that laws are heavily defied and bent throughout, time and physics are unpredictable, and you'll have to follow carefully in order to catch a lot of details, but it's well worth your time. There are some spots where the film seems to lose its footing a little and takes some unexpected detours, but it also happens to jump right into the action from the very opening scene, and hardly lets up until the very end of the film. Overall, even at two and a half hours, it all feels very tense, tightly paced, and left me pretty floored by the end, even if I mostly felt that it doesn't quite live up to some of Nolan's previous films. But the biggest word of caution I can offer is that like with many of Nolan's previous films (Memento, Inception, Interstellar, Dunkirk), the narrative and science can be a little hard to follow, but just stick with it as best you can, and it'll more than likely be worth it in the end.… Expand

Get yourselves into a cinema, the bigger the better and prepare for another mind bending cinematic experience that I can barely explain but I’ll giveAlright cinema fans, it’s time for a Christopher Nolan film so you all know what that means. Get yourselves into a cinema, the bigger the better and prepare for another mind bending cinematic experience that I can barely explain but I’ll give it my best. I honestly wasn’t sure we’d get a chance to see Tenet this month or even this year. But here it is, the movie to get us all back in the cinemas again. Well it’s sure to get the Nolan fans back anyway because you can have all the online streaming platforms you want with all these seemingly endless choices but there are certain movies you need to see on a massive screen with surround sound and Tenet is that movie.

I normally give a brief overview of the plot but for spoiler reasons I obviously can’t go into any real detail. A Protagonist armed with only one word, “Tenet” fights for the survival of the entire world. If you really want a taste of what you’re in for then check out the trailer, you’ll still be confused but what can I tell you, it’s a confusing film. It’s got espionage, time travel, John David Washington, Robert Pattinson, Kenneth Branagh, Elizabeth Debicki and a little bit of Michael Caine (it wouldn’t be a Nolan film without Michael Caine now would it). What more can I say? Nolan’s originality never ceases to amaze and Tenet has raised the bar for the sci-fi genre. The entire cast are outstanding, particularly John David Washington.

The whole movie is one giant puzzle that demands your full attention. Yes, that does mean no bathroom breaks, you’re not going to want to miss a second of this believe me. I’ve only just seen it and I’m dying to see it again and because of the complex narrative, Tenet is the type of film that would benefit from a second viewing. You get everything you’d expect from a Christopher Nolan film minus the Hans Zimmer score. Yet the score by Ludwig Göransson fits Tenet perfectly although I did find it overpowered some of the dialogue at times. Still, the exhilarating soundtrack will keep you on the edge of your seat. The stunts and practical effects are truly impressive. We all know Nolan favours real effects over CGI where possible and the results clearly pay off. Tenet is original, complex and exceptional. Not afraid to push the boundaries and raise the standard for what comes next.

The cinemas are open safely and ready so when you feel ready too be sure not to miss Tenet, better yet do yourself a favour and see it in 35mm or 70mm. Highly recommended.… Expand

Powerful. Tenet is one of Nolan's best movies. Incredible action and the music is incredible, thanks Nolan.

Tenet is Christopher Nolan's Magnum Opus. On the technical side, few films in history have anything like the action of this film. Every Scene is Magic, and you will think, "How making this is even possible?". And that "No Green Screen" ruleTenet is Christopher Nolan's Magnum Opus. On the technical side, few films in history have anything like the action of this film. Every Scene is Magic, and you will think, "How making this is even possible?". And that "No Green Screen" rule is paying off. Because of that, you can believe the most unbelievable things are happening on the screen. Tenet never looks like animation or something full of CGI effects. And when you watch it, You will probably accept that fact is so important.
Suppose someone mutes this film and watches it. It's perfection. If someone shot the picture off and only listen to the sound of this film, It's Perfection. So When they get combined, Tenet has become an experience like no other.
Ludwig Göransson's Awesome Score has been synced with every scene and is adding to all of them. I love Hans Zimmer, but right now, I don't think even that great man was capable of doing this. The reason is this music feels different from anything I've ever heard in any Christopher Nolan Film.
I've watched Tenet twice (So far); the First time, I loved it, and the second time, I loved it. The script does a great job of presenting everything to you in the best possible way. And at the same time, Tenet has fewer exhibition scenes than Interstellar or Inception. So every time you watch it, you will be focused on more things. But It's understandable and self-explaining. The reason that a lot of people will more like The Story for the second time is the fact that THE FILM IS UNBELIEVABLY BEAUTIFUL. It has some shots, which made me speechless and gave me pure joy. As much as I couldn't focus my mind on the story and wanted to be just thinking about the Perfect Picture, I'm watching.
This film will stand the test of time. I don't want to spoil anything, So I can't talk about how much I love some of the characters and how the actors have got chosen with no miss fire. But even if you read the full screenplay of Tenet, Watching it is ten times better than just knowing the whole story. Tenet is THE Cinema, at it's very very best.… Expand
