Tenet (2020)

Another mindblowing film from Nolan that REQUIRES multiple viewings. Lacks the same emotional connection and character depth as Inception, Dark Knight and Interstellar, but its well-crafted plot and perfect pacing makes Tenet one of the greatest spy movies.

Yay, another complex film just for the purpose of being complex. Take note: complex, not deep. Of course the fans of this will say you didn't understand it if you don't like it.

Don't get me wrong, I dig Nolan and I want to watch this, but a part of his fandom is cancer.

Solid and good movie. It's not as good as Inception but still fun and action packed. Can't wait for the Blue-Ray disc to be released. I feel multiple watches would improve the story and understanding it.

Man, is Nolan on a losing streak. Bad babbling efforts one after another. Put anyone else's name on his recent duds and release them shot for shot and they would have been trashed by the critics. This reminds me of M Night Shyamalan's skid down the drain.

Textbook proof that Nolanzombies praise anything he does even the disappointing garbage.

A more sterile 007 by way of Inception. Has great pacing, but at the price of characterization due to the lean story.

Tenet is just so bad. I'm kind of stunned at how bad it turned out. So pretentious and so full of itself that it's nonsensical.

I think people would have like this movie more if it was marketed as Christopher Nolan making a spy movie. I thought the movie was easy to follow after the first act. But the sound mixing was a bit of a problem in the Cinemark XD theater I watched it in, mostly during dialogue heavy scenes.

this might as well be one of nolan's not-excellent movies

One of the worst movies of the year in a year that will forever be known as THE YEAR OF CRAP FILMS. That says a lot.

Did Nolan kill cinema with his Tenent flop? Honestly, he pooped the bed so bad that all studios are now pulling movies and won't release anything before 2021. If Tenent wasn't crap, maybe word of mouth would have gotten butts in newly opened seats. Don't blame covid fear, blame a BAD movie.

It's a rare misstep for Nolan. One of the only of his movies that thinks it's smarter than it is, loses sight of it's pretentious concepts. But more than anything it lacks any kind of character or emotion. It's a robotic, cold, dead script played out amongst amazing innovative action set pieces.

Do I understand most of this film? Nope. Did I enjoy myself anyways. Yes I did

Its a nice looking film but it felt like thats all it wanted to be. Didn't have good acting or a story worth telling 150min.

Can't help but feel that the disappointment of Tenet had something to do with SquareMaster leaving this site. And that I do not forgive...

As a huge Nolan fan, I thought this was a convoluted mess.

Nolan's worst unfortunately.

I think Tenet has become my favorite film of maybe even the past 10 years. Tenet still continues to occupy space in my mind several months later now. I still engage with it's story to this day. I am still fascinated with how such a concept even as simple as it is can yield such a powerful narrative and cinematic experience. How he manages to take the cinematic language and inject something completely unique within it is beyond me.

This movie kinda sucks tbh. It isn't necessarily garbage or even bad. And there is quite a bit of good in the movie, but unfortunately, it's too convoluted, you can't hear most of the dialogue, the characters are underdeveloped and pretty shallow, the exposition occurs too often and it isn't handled that well overall. It's basically Inception if the screenplay was sub-par

Tenet is an intense blockbuster that doesn’t let up, and we’re swept along with the momentum of it all. Don’t try to understand it, just feel it.

It's definitely not awful, it's just made to not be understandable... Hard to rate for that reason
