Tenet (2020) Movie Thread

[Best]

From what I'm gathering from the reviews, it's Inception without Joseph Gordon Levitt explaining the plot at every turn. If that is the case, it'll be well worth going back to the cinema for this.

Very mixed reviews for this, one headline I read "150 minutes of your life you will never get back" but others have been favourable. It looks like it will be a film you either love or hate.

Ultimately, ratings are just one person's opinion regarding a specific film. Why you'd choose whether to go see a film or not based on that is beyond me.

I went to see it last night, thought it was great. A bit confusing in parts so you've got to concentrate but I thought was really clever.

Saw this last night and enjoyed it. As with other Nolan films, it was a visual feast. I'd love to see how they filmed some scenes and prepared the choreography for them. The Oslo fight was mind-blowing. I found the plot to be convoluted in places and simplistic in others, if that is possible.

I wasn't really convinced by Washington. He seemed very wooden and didn't seem to be comfortable in the role. Pattinson was good as was Debicki and Brannagh who seems to be getting younger.

I watched this last night and along with trying to follow the intricate story having to concentrate on what people are even saying in the first place makes it a slog of a film - the first 10/15 minutes I had no idea what people were saying it was so muffled and that trend continued through a lot of the film

Haven't watched it yet, but read this so much that I'm wary of it.

Why would such a huge blockbuster be recorded with such poor sound?

The start of the film they are all wearing respirators - near impossible to understand what is being said, there's another scene on boats where pretty much all you can hear is the boats thrashing through the waves and then, in general, the whole film just has sound drowned out by the score or sound effects

It's annoying as hell

So just watched it this evening and it was the strangest movie I have ever watched. Truth is I have no idea what half of it was about as the dialogue was hard to hear in parts. It is definitely a film I will watch again maybe when it is out on the TV so I can put subtitles on it and pause it when I need a break. There was some cool parts in it.

The action was so strange but cool. The plane scene was brilliant.

I thought the story was a bit of a mess and all over the place but a second watch might make it make sense.
