Tenet is my favorite movie of 2020. It is Christopher Nolan at his best. And yes, another movie that plays with time. Perfection.

I was always a fan of Christopher Nolan and Tenet does not disappoint at all. It is an interesting movie, but it is a little undercooked and served undone. The main problem with this movie is that the premise involves a serious level of intellectual brain power to comprehend, second by second, as the director intends, but it is executed sloppily in general. The narrative devolves into clear funding issues in production, a lack of evolving and branching narrative arches and storylines, diversions into time, expanding and branching in and out of time, inverting every possible frame of the movie somehow relative to the narrative.

This movie was an interesting “prototype” concept for a movie that could have been a lot better honestly.

It’s a 7/10 from me.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I was able to watch this movie through - which is why it gets a 5. I didn't like the start of the movie and only the 10/10 reviews on line stopped me from turning it off - maybe it gets better? The pacing was all off... Too much, too quickly.. guy hears about "inversion" and now everyone he talks to knows about it. The inversion concept was a cool idea but executed poorly... why do some parts happen backwards and others happen forwards? I can see all these reviews online 10/10 - if you don't like it you don't understand it - tripe. I am the protagonist and I can see what this movie was trying to do and it fails to deliver. If you can get past the first 45-60 minutes its easier to watch the rest.… Expand

At some points it raised questions like who is fighting who or who is going in what direction in time but that just gives the movie rewatching value.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. First off! This movie tries to trick you. But not due to its time inversion. But with the movies break neck pace. You may watch this abs go, why is the editing so bad? Why are characters running from one scene to another without establishing shots?
This is all intentional. Usually in stories “characters” push the plot forward. But since this movie lacks characterization. The only way Nolan can push the story forward is by speeding everything up. That’s why it seems like characters are always running and why there’s no establishing shots.

Also this film is very pretentious. It seems like Nolan made it not for a theatre viewing experience. But so that amateur film critics could snobbishly pick this film apart. And yes, the time traveling doesn’t make any sense. There’s more holes in this than Bonnie and Clyde abs their car combined. Like for instance. If the protagonist can clearly see he’s fighting himself. Than why would he try to shoot at himself? If a person is inverted why do they need a special mask with oxygen? If that’s the case gravity would be backwards the sun would be backwards if oxygen is inverted than so would everything else.

Also all the actors give great performances except for the Russian guy? Was he really Russian? I don’t know. But you can tell they weren’t given anything to work with. Also Nolan needs to go back to film school to learn what “show don’t tell” means This movie is basically 3 hours of exposition 4 fight scenes and good but obnoxious music.

I also read in a video that Nolan made the conscious choice to make some of the dialogue unintelligible. Smh if you have a movie that is 3 hours of exposition. Don’t punish the audience by making a 3rd of it inaudible. That’s like inviting someone to dinner, but making them pay for you both. Also the lack of blood really makes it hard to believe what’s going on in this movie. There doesn’t need to be buckets of gore. But realism in films like this is important. It breaks the immersion when a film is bloodless. Finally, and I covered it a bit up there… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The novelty of the film wears off when you realize how tedious it is to be understood .

What they did was make a film that was complicated to understand but lacked depth . It makes the audience uninterested knowing that their first watch of the movie is the beginning of many more watches .

I can see how that appeals to people . A mystery to unravel . But there comes a point where the film starts to become anticlimactic .

Towards the end of the film , how the villan is killed is by stalling time by rubbing lotion on his back , also taking numerous showers to make the floor slippery and shooting him . Then proceeding to slide him off with the help of the lotion and slippery wet floor .

This film is the equivalent of art pieces that are suppose to have 'meaning' but instead is just a way to showboat the forced complexity of it .

Christopher Nolan tries to disrupt the linear creative way of making movies by creating complicating stories . The problem is that the stories often lack depth once understood .
You will see this in Dunkirk and Inception . The concept and idea start of good but it descends into what lacks depth . This movie tries hard to set itself apart from other movies . It does it well being unique and original thus explaining the mixed score as no doubt it deserves respect for the creativity . But the film also doesn't respect the viewer's time . You are expected to watch it more than once to truly understand it . You are viewing it for 2 hours + and it is expected that you watch it again via cinema or other ways . The thing is that some people may enjoy that but not everyone does .

The lack of depth in the overcomplicating story of Tenet doesn't justify understanding the story .

Is this worth your time ? That is up to you to decide . I'm sure some may have wished that could have inversed to 2 hours ago after finishing watch this film .

*Too Long Didn't Read* (TLDR) : Film concept and idea is amazing but not a film for everyone.… Expand

Where'd the pick up half these actors too? Do they just drive around asking randoms, "Do you want to be in a movie?"

There's no character growth and no mystery to anyone whatsoever. Nolan has obviously focused too much on the complexity of the story instead of character development.

Not even worth watching really because you have to sit there paying attention and thinking the entire time, and get no rest mentally. This isn't entertainment, this is information overload. Inception's story was the best balance between action, drama, and complexity. Interstellar was second as it had lots more action and less drama, and this would be in last place out of all his movies - even lower than Dunkirk.… Expand

Unfortunately, the plot is super confusing. So much so that at points I just gave up on figuring it out and kept watching. It's also 2.5 hours long. The soundtrack is incredibly average. I think they recycled the Inception soundtrack, added a few foghorns and called it a day. David Washington's character alternates from having no idea what's going on to being ultra confident and competent, and it's jarring.

I think you'll enjoy this if you want action more than plot.… Expand

CastCurrently hitting the movie screens with "Oppenheimer", one has to be curious about Christopher Nolan's "Tenet", which came out during a global Pandemic. Kudos for daring the big release. Cinematography is stunning, as are the locations. Cast & Crew surely had fun shooting this blockbuster. Some elements, booming massive dramatic sound, confusing timelines, fast forward and review remind of earlier work. (explicitly not Robert Zemeckis "Back to the Future") Alex von Roon had enjoyed "Memento" of sorts back in the day & met some of the brains behind it in person. Over time "Memento" has riped like a good wine. German dubbing was a bit rough with many phony accents which mad the lines partly hard to decipher. Kenneth Branagh is fun to watch as is former vampire heart-throb Robert Pattinson and the lead. Von Roon, currently on strike with SAGAFTRA, wonders, which Algorithm will compare the movies of Nolan and Michael Haneke.… Expand
