[Gee]

Can't wait to watch Bernthal rubbing his head in glorious 15/70 IMAX.

Trust in Nolan. He rarely lets us down.

Depends how you felt about Tenet...

 

[Boom]

I may give it another watch but Tenet is simply too incomprehensible for me. And despite Nolan's comments on the matter, I wasn't able to enjoy it.

I enjoyed Tenet and understood it but it works if you just watch it as a dumb fun Michael Bay or James Bond movie.

He makes a film meant to be experienced in the cinema when a global pandemic happens... It was rotten luck all around.

NGL That **** went right over me head lmao. Felt stupid watching it.

Tenet plot: good guys try to get the gismos away from the bad guy and save the world and the girl.

How is that complicated?

I remember watching it as a kid and being simultaneously impressed and jealous that a child got to write an episode of Dexter's Lab.

You can do it, too. Just get some Adobe Animation software and a YouTube channel.

My opinion on Tenet is that, in an alternative universe, it could have been Nolan's first blockbuster...
I mean, it's got all his trademarks: the non-linear structure, the logistically impressive action scenes, the heavy soundtrack... Except that everything seemed out of control.
As if the director hadn't yet mastered his vision. Does this make sense?

The script, with its Russian villain who wants to destroy the world via a fantastic gadget, has always reminded me of a Roger Moore-style James Bond story. It's super simple and quite caricatural but here, it's been splintered into a puzzle that's certainly very ingenious on paper, but which I found far too muddled as a viewing experience.
For me, it's a film that (like Oppenheimer... sorry) lacks focus, an external “guardrail”. This is going to sound harsh, but as much as I've always liked Nolan, now that he's the sole screenwriter on his last few project, I can understand the "self-indulgent" criticism his detractors have been making of him for a long time....

I still plan to revisit Tenet and Oppenheimer to possibly adjust my opinion, but I never find the motivation to get back to it....
That said, I still love what I've always loved: The Prestige and Interstellar are forever untouchable for me.

Yeah, no way this movie will be a contemporary take, thank god. This looks amazing so far.
