[Film] Tenet- The Movie

[SeagullinExile]

Inception terrible? Why so?

Ok. Maybe not terrible, overrated would be fairer. But that's just my opinion. That's the beauty of film I guess!

For example, I think Midgets Vs Mascots is comedy gold, most 'normal' people would hate it!

Bit wary now of hyped films even if they did win an Oscar. Finally got round to watching The Revenant last and thought it was 2.5 hours I won't ever get back. Nice cinematography but that was it. Too drawn out, predictable , DiCaprio has done so much better and Tom Hardy was unintelligible at times.

Think I’m completely alone on here in thinking many of Nolan’s films, held up as being these amazing masterpieces, are really utter drivel and ‘Insomnia’ inducing, from Memento through The Prestige,Interstellar, Inception, Dunkirk. Really don’t get the hype at all, his overall body of work undeserving of the ‘God-like’ revere in which so many hold him imho, although at least several film critics seem to agree with me.

Dunkirk was God awful, Kenneth Brannagh abandoned on a jetty, a fuelless Spitfire and the same ship being blown up half a dozen times.

Hopefully bodes well for my Cneworld share.. dirt cheap at the mo!

I can't stand Kenneth Brannagh, so for me it's ruined already. A hideous ham, who's responsible for the dullest Marvel film ever made. An endless sea of power dressing clichés striding endlessly down corridors to talk loudly or battle. As for Artemis Foul, he took it to another level. Whilst not a fan of your dungeons and dragons type tut, he was positively racist to elves - a Celtic diddle de Dee every time someone in green looked off into the distance and gruff voices to denote someone was very old. But his worst crime was murdering Wallander. Only Brannagh could watch the sublime Krister Henriksson and think - what this needs is shooting again identically, but with me as Wallander! First class dickwad. Saying that I'll probably watch Tenet.

Agree totally. Apart from your 'watching Tenet', in a cinema, I presume, bit. I'll die on the hill that Nolan's work is the Emperor's New Clothes writ large - one or two time-mixing film-failures are enough - and nothing I've read/heard/seen makes me think I'm wrong. Though, I too will watch Tenet, probably about ten months from now, and have no doubt my mind will remain unchanged.

 

[Comrade Sam]

I'll stream it next week!

Torn.

Really want to see this, but I have no want to sit in a cinema for 2 hours plus with a mask on.

It doesn’t sound enjoyable.

If you can make a medium size popcorn last 2 hours you won’t need the mask

 

[DavidinSouthampton]

Probably going to be a very ordinary Hollywood movie pretending to be "intellectual"

Guardian review gave it 2* out of 5 and said it’s not worth the bother.

Different people like different things. People need to make up their own minds!

On a completely different line, everybody I know loved Mamma Mia, including lots of people whose opinion I respect. I thought it was the biggest load of pointless drivel I’ve ever sat through..... or rather gave up before the end.

 

[GloryDays]

Won't be going to the cinema anytime soon -- will wait for the DVD

More DVD, less CVD.

Me and the Mrs went to see Tenet tonight.
It's alright, it's really nothing special though. We both felt it was trying too hard to be clever, like every little thing was over complicated to flesh out a film that was actually quite straightforward.
As with most Nolan films, the soundtrack was so overly loud that a lot of dialogue was muffled and we possibly missed some info relevant to the story.
I'd give it a 6/10, probably wouldn't watch it again.

 

[FatSuperman]

My wife and I exactly the same. She loves Inception and I can't stand it. I love Interstellar, she can't stand it

I’m with you Stumps, Inception is stupid. It’s fine until the multi-layered dream bit when they start rushing about. The time dilation wasn’t done properly. It really annoyed me,

I watched ‘Limitless’ at around the same time and thought it was miles better, but most people think the reverse

 

[Easy 10]

Inception disappeared up its own @rsehole, and Tenet looks like being of a similar genre. Not sure that would tempt me back.

THIS however...

I was gutted Covid put this on the backburner. I'm all over this like white on rice when it finally gets released. The first WW was great fun, and I am a SUCKER for 80s shit. Frankly, they had me at Blue Monday.

I liked tenet. I saw it a couple of weeks ago and plan on going again this weekend. I have a cineworld pass and often see films more than once, my second trip isn't an indication of thinking it to be the greatest. I think I managed to stick with it, and seeing explanations, I did generally. There were a few small things I didn't pick up on, but it certainly feels like a film that benefits from multiple viewings.

Anyway, a friend went to see it yesterday and after fumbling my way through my understanding two weeks after watching it, I found this article that explains it, in case anyone is interested:

Limitless is a great watch, the TV subsequent series was also a good watch. Inception was utter tripe, Tenet looks similar, but then I say that as someone who isn’t a Nolan fan.

I watched it yesterday and enjoyed it for about an hour or so but when it got the finale I had no clue what was going on and having watched a few 'explainer' videos after, I still don't understand.

 

[Weststander]

I'm a big Nolan fan.

Which one?

 

[indy3050]

Just watched it, totally lost, will try again.
