Christopher Nolan's "Tenet"

I didn't see a thread for it, surprisingly, so...

Saw "Tenet," the first movie I've seen in theaters for about 7 months. Almost drove to Lacey to see it a while back but now it's at all AMCs... so here we are. Not exactly a full theater and it wasn't an IMAX screen (which is unfortunate, but it was a good size screen). Loved it! Starts with a bang but after that the first act is a little hard to get through... but mostly that was because I thought I was being delivered a lot of information I was probably going to forget. Not so. And paying attention is paid off by the end, though it's not as dense as I feared -- and my daughter was able to completely follow along, too. I'm glad I didn't read TOO much about the story until now.

Music score was great. I know it's not Zimmer, but it's like Zimmer on steroids. Which isn't bad or good, it's just what it seems like to me.

Anyway, 2 and a half hours well spent! I can't wait to see the next big budget movies in theaters, No Time to Die and Wonder Woman 1984... which will probably continue to be pushed back until 2023.

I'd read some bad things about it that Nolan's characters are a little flat and not enough background is given, also that the sound mix made some of the dialogue difficult to hear. I don't agree about the characters... it's not like we needed flashbacks of James Bond's childhood or training in "Dr. No." The latter... I agree difficult, but I understood.

Spoiler:

Spoiler: For anyone who has seen it, remember when they were talking about, if you come into contact with your other self then it's "annihilation"? Who else was expecting that to foreshadow an "end of Timecop" moment? __________________ [ ODYSSEY \| ORIGIN \| THE IMAGE/VOL. 3 CONCLUSION \| THE SHELLSHOCKED PODCAST \| ON FACEBOOK ] Last edited by Andrew NDB; 10-30-2020 at 01:34 AM.
