Christopher Nolan is a crazy and insane person. There is no dispute about this. What Nolan is trying to convey to the viewers is an adventure that is difficult to imagine on your own. It is also difficult to imagine its events and facts. It is also difficult to photograph many moments. Fear that my mind will be distracted by this wonderful drama.
The story of the film is about the attempt of some people to stop the end of the world. This person is known in this film as the Protagonist, as he does not know anything about the mission or how to end the world except for one word, which is Tenet, and the meaning of this word will appear through the events of the film, but frankly, the aesthetic of talking about this film lies In penetrating the events and talking comfortably about the events of the movie.
The photography was aesthetic with things that neither the mind nor the eye could have expected while you were sitting in front of the screen. The photographic ability in this film exceeded many stages and reached a stage of dazzling. It exceeded the choice of angles or even the duration of the shot. We have different dimensions and a new method in how to photograph.
The aesthetic of the story is not in asking ourselves what the story is. The aesthetic of the story is in how the story is told and explained. The narrative of the story and the photographic capabilities greatly exceeded the events of the story and anything else in the film, where scientific and physical facts and theories were used that greatly assist in storytelling. They greatly help in explaining the events and how they pass. Events and these scientific theories and physical facts that boggle your mind and drive you crazy have made my eyes stop closing while my time to sleep came.
Silicon Valley dick jerk algorithm applied to Nolan camera shutter time. Just watch the movie from the middle moment towards the extremities. It will make your enjoyment a TEN/EighT
Didnt understand not 1 minute of this movie. Even after reading explanations it still didnt make any sense. Maybe Im just too dumb, dont know. For me - really overrated piece of crap.
An ambitious thriller that is as complicated as some claimed Inception was trying to be. Once (if) you find your footing, there's a very fun thriller in here, with a unique premise. As far as blockbusters go, this one is solid and good for repeat viewings to really untangle everything at play.
I've seen quite a few movies that I could sit back and enjoy without knowing a thing that's happening, but alas, this isn't one of them. It starts out super promising, I was totally hooked by the opening but man... it all spiraled downward from there. Visuals are neat, and it's well acted, certainly the fight choreography is some of the zaniest stuff you've probably ever laid eyes on, but without knowing the rules of how this world works it feels utterly lackluster. In an odd way, it makes you feel kind of dumb for not understanding what's going on and that just adds to your frustration. Feeling as though a movie is insulting you is never a fun feeling. Sometimes Nolan's creativity sprints away from him and unfortunately this is his poster child for that problem.
As soon as the scientist lady begins to explain things moving backward through time I immediately thought "ok, yeah.... didn't understand any of that, but that's ok because I doubt you have to have a physics degree in order to enjoy the majority of what I'm about to see." I couldn't have been more wrong. I think Nolan believes that time travel movies are pretty cool and thought that traveling backward though time while others around are going forward through time would naturally be the next progression in pushing the genre into new territory. And I mean, it does, but it's tedious as heck and surprisingly dull to watch.
«At the Gare du Nord they had a farewell talk on the platform. Einstein told de Broglie that all scientific theories, leaving aside their mathematical expressions, ought to lend themselves to so simple a description “that even a child could understand them.” And what could be less simple, Einstein continued, than the purely statistical interpretation of wave mechanics! “Carry on,” he told de Broglie as they parted at the station. “You are on the right track!”» —Einstein, His Life and Universe, by Walter Isaacson
Tenet is not only incomprehensible, Nolan is not even wrong. The special effects are nice though, except for
the building blowing up in the end that looked as if it was made from plastic.
Sure, Tenet is kind of a worse Inception: even more technical, more distant, louder and less creative with a lesser cast. Sometimes it's exhausting to follow, too complicated for its own good and very serious about that to round things off. While I still can enjoy all of that and adore the non-CGI work, I had to laugh at ICM's top comment: "Primer with more explosions" - yep, that's spot-on. A film to be sighed at or even detested by those folks who weren't keen on Nolan before.
And still I have to say I am impressed by the existence of Tenet. A 200 million tentpole blockbuster - 2020's summer's only major release - with a completely original concept, as in not remade, rebooted et cetera, that can without exaggeration be compared to a clusterfuck sci-fi experiment such as Primer. A giant, truly demanding movie brought to cinema's biggest screens for an impatient audience which is used to Youtube, Tiktok and Netflix. I find that unbelievable and will forgive some of the artistic weaknesses.
Who knows how often we will have to look up the plot summary of a multi-million dollar blockbuster after the film industry recovers from the Covid lockdowns. With many more Marvel and Disney films and endless franchises incoming, we might one day look back at Tenet, even if partly failed, and scratch our heads: "Wow, they really did something like this."

Below Nolan's capabilities as a storyteller. However an inspiring version of theme time travel.cicciocc

I gotta get an aspirin. But I regret nothing.
