>if I do something here and now it will create a butterfly effect and change everything down the line
This is literally every one of Nolan's movies. He's a one trick pony.
>>if I do something here and now it will create a butterfly effect and change everything down the line
They never say nonsense like that, but on the contrary, whatever we're going to do, it's already happened.
I skipped it because I assumed the audio for the dialogue would be barley audible while the sound effects would be blaring. Like every film Nolan has made since The Dark Knight Rises.
They put one of the most important scenes, where we get a major info dump on the plot during a sailing scene, where the characters are screaming at each other a full conversation. The audio is barely audible and I was dumbfounded at how Nolan thought this was a good idea. It's on par with the scene in the Irishman where Dinero beats up the shopkeeper.
I’m profoundly racist and enjoyed it more than I thought I would, but likely because of what the other reply said; he’s the star but feels barely in it because he’s so meek and uninteresting. Pattinson and Branagh steal it.
All you have to do is be a pretty boy homosexual that would start crying and flop down onto the ground kicking and screaming if they took a round right on the plating
He played the role well. Even if the main conflict could have been resolved if the French prince and the English king weren't both so autistic. A 2 minute conversation at anytime would have ended the war. >You English swine have alot of balls coming here >Yeah I bet you regret sending me that ball for my birthday now don't you. >Ball? I didn't send you any ball. >What? >What?
It wasn't a movie with much substance to it, all it had was its gimmick. None of the characters were very interesting either, Pattinson can act his heart out but that won't save a dull script.
>spend months teaching actors to walk and talk backwards >cast a potato as the lead
How is he Denzel’s son and yet has the charisma of an autistic basement dweller? Even beyond that it seemed like his character would be using a totally different tone/intensity than anyone else in the scene or reacting to shit in a way that no human would ever act.
because it's not fricking good
Out of all of Nolan's movies, it's the most like Inception. But unlike Inception, which is ultimately a heist movie about a small time criminal trying to do one last big job before walking away from it all, Tenet is basically a self aggrandizing monument to Nolan's own gigantic fricking big brain. It's the cum leftover from stroking his own ego.
The real problem is that the plot mechanics expand scope at the same time as the plot takes a giant shit.
They end up in fighting time travelling oligarch lackeys because the time travel mans partner is the oligarchs prostitutes son and that's the plot thread they wanted to follow?
If Nolan wants to make high concept blockbusters with complex production elements they shouldn't hinge on the pivot of the back seat b plot family drama especially because the human element is always his weakest component.
>the time travel mans partner is the oligarchs prostitutes son and that's the plot thread they wanted to follow?
This is not emphasized in literally any way.
I watched it on a plane but didn’t want to pay for headphones so I just watched it without sound or subtitles
even then I could tell it was a huge piece of shit with a senseless plot
>Why is there little discussion about Tenet?
Because it sucks so bad no one even wants to talk about how bad it sucks. You're lowkey a dickhead for even bringing this piece of shit up.
Flat characters combined with a plot so intentionally convoluted that it's impossible to give a shit about anything that's happening. It basically exists as a vehicle for action scenes which aren't really anything special
the setpieces were insane, the truck hijack, opera house, yachting, fighting against the inverted version of himself etc. were all unbelievable. nolan is very talented at spectacle. also the music was fantastic.
but the dialogue was outright bad at points, the characters were really boring. what is the protagonist's personality? he's just kind of arrogant and that's about it.
the love interest is just a generic damsel in distress
pattinson was the only one who was at least a little charming
the final fight scene was also really bad and had no impact
the premise for the movie is cool but it was convoluted in kind of a bad way, compared to memento for example where it's convoluted, but in a way that I think is more entertaining to think about.
even as a huge nolan fanboy, I have to admit it was pretty forgettable.
i saw the last 20 minutes of it a few years ago
when it was spammed here i didnt know what the movie was aboot and none of the threads i looked at ever said anything either
turns out its some shitty time travel/manipulation movie
dont know what the plot was but what i saw was not interesting at all
prolly why it didnt get even a cult following
denzel's son sucks so bad at acting that every movie he's been in became immediately unwatchable
it's like he's a charisma vacuum or something
worst case of nepo babysm since that guy who played titular character in the han solo movie
It's possible to get it and still find it stupid. Take the backwards fight scenes. They try to hype it up as backwards bullets being so dangerous but really if it's already in the wall without a bunch of blood on it then you know it didn't hit jack shit. And the backwards chase scene, which also provides no tactical advantage whatsoever. It's just adding flair and pretending it's deep. It's literally that movie with Tom Cruise and the time aliens except there's a room that does it instead
>it doesn't make much sense
It's pretty simple, actually. It's a time travel story that uses closed-loop time travel without generating paradoxes. This is only possible because the characters have no free will. The characters are aware of this, and struggle to come to terms with it. Everything else is essentially set-dressing.

Imagine being one of those characters and seeing an outcome you don't want, knowing that your actions will lead to it, and then deciding not to do anything different.
First thing I would've done when I was put into one of those time-changing chambers is shoot someone I saw in the other room to make sure what happened there could never happen.

The fact that you saw them in the other room means you didn't do it, and you won't do it.

No, seeing them in the room makes me realize I wouldn't have done it, I don't like that outcome, so I decide to do it. That's the whole point of a brain. To do stuff like that.
It's not like you run a simulation of the future, see the outcome, decide you don't like it, and just go "well the simulation is accurate to what I would've done if I hadn't known about it, so I will do it even though I now know about it and so logically this new information should cause me to behave differently". That makes no sense.

The problem comes with when the audience has to come to terms with it. If none of the characters in the story have free will, why should we care about them. A philosophical question does not make a compelling story

Then why do they tell soldiers to not enter the doors if they don't see themselves on the other side?
Obviously changing the future is a big part of the setting.
Saw it at the cinemas, the sound was shit
All i heard was
BROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM
The movie lacked pathos. It would have been kino if Robert Pattison's character was the future version of Debicki's son. Also, the Black person was a shit actor.
The soundtrack was pretty good but what supremely bothered me was the shitty rap song they put in the credits. Felt completely out of place; modern rap/hip-hop just doesn't match the sci-fi aesthetic at all.
Tenet was masterpiece.
No, im just joking to spite nolanhomosexuals, tenet was fricking worst nolan picture which just confirmed his hack status. The lead was bad, script was a convoluted mess that only got worse because of how nolan tries to complicate his movies to appear more complex than they really are, the action was terrible and look like shit even now, worst aged movie since lawnmover man and lastly, the sounddesign. They should put this movie in every sound design course of how not to make a movie.
At this point im positive that nolan isnt autist, its just his mask to hid that beside his "techniques" hes just an idea man that runs between "neat" concepts and give them his nolan treatment, like the method of the moviemaking alone can elevate your picture.
Unfortunetly its not the case and if you want to be horny about autism in creation process, just watch Fitzcarraldo.
You'd expect action scenes like that in shit like universal solder 5. Did they really expect people to be impressed by some reverse explosions and not notice how all of this takes place in what is obviously some last ditch, low-budget shooting location? Literally a Quarry filled with movie props.
>that are ill defined and fairly hard to make out.
Wasn't that the point? Both sides are black ops trained on causing as much confusion to the enemy as they can.
>so we have this high concept sci-fi epic with a complex plot spanning multiple timeliness
Yeah? So how does anything work in this? >durr just turn your brain off bro
Nobody saw it because of Covid and the people who did see it, like me, didn’t understand it. I’m fully convinced even Nolan doesn’t get his own idea despite him saying otherwise. I think he stopped at the “the bullet returns to the gun” idea and ran off to write a script.
Because it's not even a flick it's moronic knockoff of the Bond movie but with le reverse bullshit. It's so absurd so the characters explain it every 5 minutes. It really reveals that Nolan is a hack, who just put some pseudoscience bullshot to trick le smart normies.
The actual plot is very good, but that plot is masked by a dogshit story. By plot, I mean the concept of the time travel, the pieces being buried from the future. The story is all the individual characters and especially the killing of Gilderoy Lockheart
Yeah, a bigger focus on the villain and how he found the shit from the future using the knowledge to build this organization to destroy the world would have worked wonders.
That shit was pretty interesting. Instead we see him torturing his wife and making threats.
the movie is bad, this scene is last nail in the coffin. I get it, it was just as a backdrop to the "emotional" sacrifice, but damn, if you start pointing out all the mistakes and holes in these scene alone...See how they probably realized it made so little sense, they couldn't possible show anything meaningful happening, just a couple of pointless cool looking moments like the double explosion and guy "trapped" in the wall, just a mess hoping noone would pay much attention...
Nothing to discuss. The movie stops every ~20 minutes to exhaustively explain what just happened, what's happening now, what's about to happen. Nolan movies are braindead simple but dunces always act like a conspiracy board is required to understand the plot. Pathetic.
The concept was cool but was moronicly executed. Also the villain was complete shit. Story hypes up future humans who want to come back in time to frick the previous generation who fricked them over, aka the ultimate zoomer/boomer revenge fantasy, yet all we got was russian mafioso #1578. This frustrated me the most with the uncharismatic MC. Pattinson was cool obv
there's a plothole so big in the first minute of the movie and in the all concept
when someone is reversed and shoots a gun does the bullet hole in the wall appears when it's build or just materialise at any random point waiting to be shot
Like imagine you go inverted and smash a window at your house. Does that means, even years in the past, that window was always smashed? Because from a non-inverted persons perspective, when did the window actually shatter?
The answer is "when the inverted person smashed it"
Like, call it what you want, a local reality distortion field or whatever where things only pop into existence as people notice them rather than history getting constantly Back to the Future'd by every little mark inverted people leave. But science lady explains that inverted things can't do anything without active influence being exerted on them, and also says that it's not truly understandable. You literally need to accept that things simply happen.
This is the biggest headache of the movie and the one I had to google as soon as I finished watching. Turns out, nobody has any fricking idea. The closest theory that makes sense is that at some point in the recent past (minutes? seconds?), the bullet materializes out of thin air inside the concrete, which also cracks out of nowhere.
The truth is, nobody, not even Nolan can explain it because it's just a mistake. It's an inconsistency and therefore completely breaks the movie.
>wake up one morning >random idea popped in mind >"hey how cool would it be to film something and revert it" >write a scenario in 5 minutes while drinking coffee >don't even bother giving the main character a name >studio accepts because all I do makes $$$ >basically make an independent movie with 300m$ budget
I'm thinking absolutely based
First half is pretty awful with some truly terrible exposition dumping from the street shitter lady. Picks up from the second half onwards and the finale is very good.
It's a stupid movie. It's worth watching, but it's stupid. Plus even though I knew what was happening the whole time, it kinda feels like the movie is taunting you like >HEH. SEE DAT SHIT? BLEW YA MIND. IT'S LIKE N-CEPTION
I can't get over how stupid that final battle is. It's like a child playing with miniatures but the kid doesn't have enough toys to represent the enemy forces.
I love Tenet. I watch it once a year or so. I don’t know if it’s a good movie or not from an art perspective but I find it very entertaining and that’s enough for me. I think the sound is great also, I listen to it loud
Didn't produce any memes.
the movie discusses itself so much there's nothing left to say.
>he didn't hear about the hot sauce an hour ago
>if I do something here and now it will create a butterfly effect and change everything down the line
This is literally every one of Nolan's movies. He's a one trick pony.
Tenet uses closed-loop time travel, though
>>if I do something here and now it will create a butterfly effect and change everything down the line
They never say nonsense like that, but on the contrary, whatever we're going to do, it's already happened.
nobody gets it
Because the movie is trash.
Nobody gets the rambling of a schizo either, that doesn't mean they are good.
Nolan is a fricking moron.
it's not good
I skipped it because I assumed the audio for the dialogue would be barley audible while the sound effects would be blaring. Like every film Nolan has made since The Dark Knight Rises.
now I know you've seen it. nice try.
it was worse than ever
They put one of the most important scenes, where we get a major info dump on the plot during a sailing scene, where the characters are screaming at each other a full conversation. The audio is barely audible and I was dumbfounded at how Nolan thought this was a good idea. It's on par with the scene in the Irishman where Dinero beats up the shopkeeper.
>I skipped it
liar
Black person lead
it's the reason I still haven't seen it, even though it seems like I might like the movie
same
he doesn't have much presence and is easily ignored, pattinson steals the spotlight
I’m profoundly racist and enjoyed it more than I thought I would, but likely because of what the other reply said; he’s the star but feels barely in it because he’s so meek and uninteresting. Pattinson and Branagh steal it.
He says he's the protagonist but was pretty much a pawn for the plans Pattinson and his future self cooked up.
Good point
TDKR probably had the worst big "battle" scene in any modern movie, then he topped it with Tenet, bravo
I wish I could make a plate carrier look that good
All you have to do is be a pretty boy homosexual that would start crying and flop down onto the ground kicking and screaming if they took a round right on the plating
Sounds like a lot of projection.
I think it's definitely possible to be handsome and take a bullet
Pattinson has the EVROPEAN THVLE spirit in him, just look at his jaw. He would have been a pretty boy warrior king with luscious locks 1000 years ago
shame he was such a dickhead in this movie
Still absolutely mogged chalamet, shame the director made him lose so pathetically. Couldnt let the EVROPEAN Pat outshine chalametberg.
>that horrible armour and costumes
what were they thinking?
He played the role well. Even if the main conflict could have been resolved if the French prince and the English king weren't both so autistic. A 2 minute conversation at anytime would have ended the war.
>You English swine have alot of balls coming here
>Yeah I bet you regret sending me that ball for my birthday now don't you.
>Ball? I didn't send you any ball.
>What?
>What?
youre only coping because you are ugly and he is not. hes also like 190cm tall hed frick you up in real life
He should have been cast as Leon Kennedy in a Resident Evil movie.
we talked about it tomorrow
>the ten, net?
Jej. I laughed
It wasn't a movie with much substance to it, all it had was its gimmick. None of the characters were very interesting either, Pattinson can act his heart out but that won't save a dull script.
Dull characters, badly miscast lead actor, bad audio.
How is he Denzel’s son and yet has the charisma of an autistic basement dweller? Even beyond that it seemed like his character would be using a totally different tone/intensity than anyone else in the scene or reacting to shit in a way that no human would ever act.
cause he has a soft ass baby voice
>spend months teaching actors to walk and talk backwards
>cast a potato as the lead
I very much considered watching this again for Pattinson no homo
It was MidiM.
main character so insanely boring that it ruined the entire film for me
because it's not fricking good
Out of all of Nolan's movies, it's the most like Inception. But unlike Inception, which is ultimately a heist movie about a small time criminal trying to do one last big job before walking away from it all, Tenet is basically a self aggrandizing monument to Nolan's own gigantic fricking big brain. It's the cum leftover from stroking his own ego.
>tenet only has a single entry on e621
tenetbros, our movie is irrelevant…
The real problem is that the plot mechanics expand scope at the same time as the plot takes a giant shit.
They end up in fighting time travelling oligarch lackeys because the time travel mans partner is the oligarchs prostitutes son and that's the plot thread they wanted to follow?
If Nolan wants to make high concept blockbusters with complex production elements they shouldn't hinge on the pivot of the back seat b plot family drama especially because the human element is always his weakest component.
>the time travel mans partner is the oligarchs prostitutes son and that's the plot thread they wanted to follow?
This is not emphasized in literally any way.
it has the most plain lead actor and he's also a Black person nepobaby
Yeah he cant act. totally wooden
that's a nice tnetennba
I watched it on a plane but didn’t want to pay for headphones so I just watched it without sound or subtitles
even then I could tell it was a huge piece of shit with a senseless plot
You wouldn't have been able to hear any of the dialogue anyway.
>Why is there little discussion about Tenet?
Because it sucks so bad no one even wants to talk about how bad it sucks. You're lowkey a dickhead for even bringing this piece of shit up.
BRAVO NOLAN the movie
Flat characters combined with a plot so intentionally convoluted that it's impossible to give a shit about anything that's happening. It basically exists as a vehicle for action scenes which aren't really anything special
the setpieces were insane, the truck hijack, opera house, yachting, fighting against the inverted version of himself etc. were all unbelievable. nolan is very talented at spectacle. also the music was fantastic.
but the dialogue was outright bad at points, the characters were really boring. what is the protagonist's personality? he's just kind of arrogant and that's about it.
the love interest is just a generic damsel in distress
pattinson was the only one who was at least a little charming
the final fight scene was also really bad and had no impact
the premise for the movie is cool but it was convoluted in kind of a bad way, compared to memento for example where it's convoluted, but in a way that I think is more entertaining to think about.
even as a huge nolan fanboy, I have to admit it was pretty forgettable.
didn't even bother pirating it
I had to turn it off pretty quickly because Denzel's son can't act. Should I give it another shot?
>mfw watching the movie in reverse
You mean teneT.
The script was a mess, Pattinson and big Lizzie were cool tho
i saw the last 20 minutes of it a few years ago

He is right, this movie is easy to understand, that's why it's plain to see that it doesn't make much sense.
The only people pretending it makes sense are the ones who didn't understand it and try to act smarter than they are.

Wasn't that what happened? I feel like I should rewatch this but it's a bunch of dumb bullshit.

You can't be this dumb
>implying you aren't the one who took the bait
never watched it for some reason even though ive watched all other nolan movies
if the guy in your pic was the protagonist there would be.
It's a fricking stupid film, that's why. Even normies started to realize what a hack Nolan is.
It was bad, but not in a fun to mock way.
Just plain bad and forgetable.
Thanks for reminding me that it even existed, you jerk.
>implying this isn't the most unintentionally funny shit ever
So fricking bad.
You'd expect action scenes like that in shit like universal solder 5. Did they really expect people to be impressed by some reverse explosions and not notice how all of this takes place in what is obviously some last ditch, low-budget shooting location? Literally a Quarry filled with movie props.
If they're at war with the backwards people why don't they ever shoot them when they're basically next to eachother?
No the backwards people are just another division. They are at war with people who don't even exist... its moronic.
It looks weird because it's two allied forces, operating in different directions
The enemy is basically faceless mooks also working in both directions, that are ill defined and fairly hard to make out.
Probably the weakest part of the movie since the battle only exists to give a bit of background noise to what the protagonists are doing.
>that are ill defined and fairly hard to make out.
Wasn't that the point? Both sides are black ops trained on causing as much confusion to the enemy as they can.
They are at war with those people you catch a glimpse of every minute or so.
It's just very badly directed.
Because it’s fricking moronic.
Hard to talk about the movie when I fell asleep halfway through it.
main character was pretty boring and everyone sounded like they were mumbling making it hard to understand them.
I still enjoyed the movie though.
>so we have this high concept sci-fi epic with a complex plot spanning multiple timeliness
Yeah? So how does anything work in this?
>durr just turn your brain off bro
It's YIIk the movie.
>Our job is to fail to defuse the bomb
>OK, so we just … um … sit here then?
Nobody saw it because of Covid and the people who did see it, like me, didn’t understand it. I’m fully convinced even Nolan doesn’t get his own idea despite him saying otherwise. I think he stopped at the “the bullet returns to the gun” idea and ran off to write a script.
Pattinson himself said he didnt understand any of it, not a good sign for viewers
The only reason to watch.
imagine a 5 foot version of Debicki, she would be absolutely pefect

FTFY

those are rookie numbers anon.
Her body is atrocious

gay. everyone knows a woman is only good for cumming on their face.
Its already been done before.
What's the connection?
Reverse scenes looks ridiculous homemade videos.
Because it's not even a flick it's moronic knockoff of the Bond movie but with le reverse bullshit. It's so absurd so the characters explain it every 5 minutes. It really reveals that Nolan is a hack, who just put some pseudoscience bullshot to trick le smart normies.
The actual plot is very good, but that plot is masked by a dogshit story. By plot, I mean the concept of the time travel, the pieces being buried from the future. The story is all the individual characters and especially the killing of Gilderoy Lockheart
>people from the future want to kill us from the past
LGBT+ won, is this his message to us?
Yeah, a bigger focus on the villain and how he found the shit from the future using the knowledge to build this organization to destroy the world would have worked wonders.
That shit was pretty interesting. Instead we see him torturing his wife and making threats.
the kiss of death was when nolan said some shitty rap song was the final piece of the puzzle
meant for
And yea, it was really fricking bad, especially when the assault is like 100 dudes all conga lining like fricking idiots like in the background there
conga conga congA
the movie is bad, this scene is last nail in the coffin. I get it, it was just as a backdrop to the "emotional" sacrifice, but damn, if you start pointing out all the mistakes and holes in these scene alone...See how they probably realized it made so little sense, they couldn't possible show anything meaningful happening, just a couple of pointless cool looking moments like the double explosion and guy "trapped" in the wall, just a mess hoping noone would pay much attention...
Was it that complicated really? It was pretty basic time travel stuff if I recall correctly
Because the general audience got utterly filtered by it, as you can see in this very thread.
Turned it off halfway through as had no idea what was going on
Because most people are stupid and can't keep track of what was happening.
watched it in the cinema with my friends. everyone sounded like they were speaking underwater the whole movie so i couldnt understand anything
Neil's final scene almost, almost gets me to the point of a manly tear
who?
I liked it.
Interstellar for time travel.
How far back did Edward Cullen have to go just to do a lil trolling on his mentor in the end there?
Nothing to discuss. The movie stops every ~20 minutes to exhaustively explain what just happened, what's happening now, what's about to happen. Nolan movies are braindead simple but dunces always act like a conspiracy board is required to understand the plot. Pathetic.
The concept was cool but was moronicly executed. Also the villain was complete shit. Story hypes up future humans who want to come back in time to frick the previous generation who fricked them over, aka the ultimate zoomer/boomer revenge fantasy, yet all we got was russian mafioso #1578. This frustrated me the most with the uncharismatic MC. Pattinson was cool obv
i didnt get it and denzel jr. has no charisma
I skipped it because of Black person protagonist
I am the leader of Cinemaphile, only things I like can become popular
Too high iq for the average Nolanpleb
there's a plothole so big in the first minute of the movie and in the all concept
when someone is reversed and shoots a gun does the bullet hole in the wall appears when it's build or just materialise at any random point waiting to be shot
There is a plothole as big as the entire movie: nothing in it makes any sense, it's a filler for 2 -reverse-action scenes.
what plot hole?
He's being over literal about inversion
Like imagine you go inverted and smash a window at your house. Does that means, even years in the past, that window was always smashed? Because from a non-inverted persons perspective, when did the window actually shatter?
The answer is "when the inverted person smashed it"
Like, call it what you want, a local reality distortion field or whatever where things only pop into existence as people notice them rather than history getting constantly Back to the Future'd by every little mark inverted people leave. But science lady explains that inverted things can't do anything without active influence being exerted on them, and also says that it's not truly understandable. You literally need to accept that things simply happen.
This is the biggest headache of the movie and the one I had to google as soon as I finished watching. Turns out, nobody has any fricking idea. The closest theory that makes sense is that at some point in the recent past (minutes? seconds?), the bullet materializes out of thin air inside the concrete, which also cracks out of nowhere.
The truth is, nobody, not even Nolan can explain it because it's just a mistake. It's an inconsistency and therefore completely breaks the movie.
it's one of the worst movies ever made
I see a black person I don't watch
even if I really like Robert Pattison and giraffe woman
Because it's the biggest pleb filter of the last years.
+ there's not much to discuss, it's more about the experience than about the story really
Its shit. But so is interestellar and morons seem to like that one for some reason
Because we’re waiting for OppenKino
>wake up one morning
>random idea popped in mind
>"hey how cool would it be to film something and revert it"
>write a scenario in 5 minutes while drinking coffee
>don't even bother giving the main character a name
>studio accepts because all I do makes $$$
>basically make an independent movie with 300m$ budget
I'm thinking absolutely based
It filtered too many normies and pseuds
Looks like it didn't filter only nolan's cultist, how it's even possible?
Will Nolan make a kino about mirrors ? Maybe Peano axioms?
1 minute on YouTube and he'd have had the answer to his mirror question
First half is pretty awful with some truly terrible exposition dumping from the street shitter lady. Picks up from the second half onwards and the finale is very good.
It's a plebfilter. Look at the amount of tards in this thread alone that didn't understand the different parts of movie's universe.
dunno man, it was sort of average / generic with pew pew here and there and some blah blah, absolutely nothing memorable
I think Nolel assumed people would rewatch it to better understand the plot but it was just too boring to rewatch so no one did
I've watched this garbage twice (once in theatres and once on a plane) and I didn't really get it
Someone greentext the plot so I can pretend to understand it next time this thread comes up
It's because it sucks. Mario is better
FGPs will never understand TENET
It had been discussed here ad nauseam when it came out, in particular the huge logic holes and the atrocious sound editing.
It's a stupid movie. It's worth watching, but it's stupid. Plus even though I knew what was happening the whole time, it kinda feels like the movie is taunting you like
>HEH. SEE DAT SHIT? BLEW YA MIND. IT'S LIKE N-CEPTION
it's needlessly convoluted and complicated for what is a pretty straight forward average time travel movie
kind of a running theme with nolan
I can't get over how stupid that final battle is. It's like a child playing with miniatures but the kid doesn't have enough toys to represent the enemy forces.
I love Tenet. I watch it once a year or so. I don’t know if it’s a good movie or not from an art perspective but I find it very entertaining and that’s enough for me. I think the sound is great also, I listen to it loud
because its the equivalent of a tech demo
you look at it and say "neat" and then move on with your life.
