TENET (2020)

Has anyone else seen this film?

I went to see it last week (Australia had advanced screenings) it had some really stand out moments, but the storyline was a bit of a mess and wasn't in the same league as Inception. I loved the soundtrack though.

[Ivannn 1,070]

watched it yesterday in movie teather.

 

Great movie! Amazing plot and suspence till the end.

Almost every single person I talked to said the plot is very complicated, which is worrying for me.

Can anyone shed light on this? I understood Inception just fine after doing some homework.

I haven’t seen it yet but I’m planning to, I don’t think I’ve seen a Christopher Nolan film I haven’t liked.

It's definitely more complicated than Inception, that film at least explains everything clearly. This one tries to, but between the bad sound mixing/characters lack of knowledge, it can be a bit hard to keep up. 

The concept and story is still amazing though, there's some crazy stuff that happens.

Watched it last night.

Interstellar is my favourite film of all time, so I had high expectations for Tenet (also because Nolan never ceases to disappoint with his work)

And no, I was not disappointed at all. I do understand how people can get lost, because the story is very complex and does switch around a lot. But I feel as long as you understand the gist of how time works in the film, the rest will follow suit

What about between Interstellar and this? There were quite a number of technical and scientific aspects in Interstellar that could be quite abstract for audiences as well. Would you say Tenet is even more difficult to grasp?

I thought  Interstellar was a breeze compared to this. They clearly establish what each character wants, so you're just trying to keep up with how all the technical stuff works.

Tenet is different because you're trying to understand the mechanics of 'spoiler', as well as understand each characters intentions, as well as also just trying to understand what is happening in some scenes. 

That's my opinion anyway. The fact that the sound mixing in a couple of scenes is a bit 'off' makes it hard to understand what some characters are even talking about too.
