Say something nice
It's not Nolan's worst movie.
>>220381478Elizabeth Debicki.
>>220381509It wont even be his second worst after Odyssey
Is it worth a watch?
>>220381521She is too tall. Was crazy to see her towering over all the other characters
>>220381478You can't hear the bad dialogue over the musical score.
the gay dude from twilight was okay
>>220381478I always enjoy seeing Kenneth Branagh chew scenery.
>I'm the backwards man! The backwards man!
>>220381547You already did

>>220381478Horrible film and revealed Nolan to be the hack that he always was. Honestly people should have realized this with Dark Knight trilogy, but everyone has a massive hard on for Batman so it gets a pass
>>220381600All I can remember about 'Dunkirk' was how bored I was watching it.
Denzel's kid was decent in Ballers. Never going to watch this though.
>>220381600Batman Begins is pretty solid, I'm a big Year One fan, so I really like when Batman is fighting crime and corruption of gotham instead of just punching out super villains. The movie starts to fall apart (for me) the minute ras shows back up and it it has the boiler-plate capeshit ending of the bad guy wanting to spray gas on the city. The dark knight is a solid movie with some really effective editing, and Ledger's portrayal of the jokester beat all odds and expectations and he carries a lot of the movie. After Ledger died Nolan and Bale lost any passion they had for making the movies, but he was still obligated to warner brothers to make a third batman movie. They tried, but you can tell no ones heart was in it, and Nolan only seemed interested in the spectacle of it all. I think he's a sloppy film maker, which is something you can get away with then you're making smaller creative pictures, but once you're getting blank checks from the studio then there's no excuse to be that sloppy.
>>220381478Extremely underrated movie that will be properly appreciated in the future.
>>220381753His actual directing is easily his worst aspect. Shit like Marion Cotillard's death in TDKR or the absolutely awful way he abuses cuts for no reasons is just too amateurish for a director of his size. I think he has some genuinely interesting ideas deep within even if he sounds like a complete retard when he opens his mouth, some kind of savant I guess. But he seems too in love with the broader idea to actually give a shit about the execution of details.
>>220381478i liked it. it filters out IQlets with the inversion thing. if you can't visualize the final scene, you are goy cattle
>>220381521>>220381550It was very strange to see her as a potential love interest for the protagonist. JDW has a massive talent void. I still think this movie killed Debicki's career
>>220381478It's kino and I'm tired of pretending it's not
>>220381478Using time flow is an interesting concept. I wish he'd gone total mindfuck.
>>220381478so we all agree Neil is her son right?
>>220381478Once the inversion clicks it’s legitimately one of the coolest time-based sci fi flicks of all time
>>220381478I've seen this movie twice and only remember the beginning and end. Overall it'll be forgotten in time.
>>220381925All the NPCs are already too mindfucked as it is. >>220381938Nice theory. But do people get younger as they go through reverse entropy? Niel and the son are like 25 years apart
I think it would have worked better as a miniseries, they tried to cram so much into one film and lots of ideas left half-exploredI do like it though, even though it could've been better
>>220381977Neil is from the future. He is her son grown up and sent back in time.
>>220382039>Neil is from the future. He is her son grown up and sent back in time.K.
>>220381851I blame a lot of it on his fanboys as well. Like when you hear him talk about inception it is actually interesting because he seems like one of the few people who actually understood what paprika was about (its a movie about film making, and film-as-dream). But instead you get all these people arguing about if the top keeps spinning at the end, and trying to desperately over-complicate the non-linear timeline. I still felt like inception was a bit of a wasted opportunity to not use more of that dream logic and surreal visuals. You get the folding city early on, the zero gravity hallway fight, and then the sand-castle city at the end. I don't think everything needed to be some stoner's MC Escher blacklight poster, but it needed to have a bit more visual creativity, especially in scene transitions.
>>220381478I'm never going to watch it because they jammed that nog in it, plus the premise is so incredibly stupid I'd want to kick the screen in.
>>220381960inception was easy to understand for normies and theorize about the ending.inversion is a difficult concept to grasp and the story is played straight.
>>220382075Anon its the whole "temporal pincer" thing. The kid grows up in the future to become Neil who is recruited by Protagonist in the future to go back in time to help recruit him in the past so he could stop his dad from the destroying the future which puts neil on the path to get recruited and go back into the past to recruit protagonist. They basically make a closed causal loop that ensures they will always succeed and set up the cards to make sure they will always succeed. If he isn't the kid then he's completely divorced from the plot and doesn't have much reason to exist beyond dumping exposition for the gimmick in scenes you can't hear because they don't really matter.

>>220382131But my question is wouldn't he be aging backwards? And where would he find a machine to reverse entropy again to meet the protagonist?
My dad though for the longest time that he was so smart because the "understood" the plot of this movie and thought it was good because he "got it". I didn't have the heart to tell him the movie is shit.
>>220382131>If he isn't the kid then he's completely divorced from the plot and doesn't have much reason to exist beyond dumping exposition for the gimmick in scenes you can't hear because they don't really matter.so a typical nolan flick then got it him and his dipshit brother can't write periodboth the filmmaking and the scripts are sloppy and always feel first take/first draft
>>220382190the organization of tenet has a bunch of machines for the task.
>>220381478it was better than the prequel, Nineet
>>220381478One of Nolans better movies.
>>220382190>But my question is wouldn't he be aging backwards?No. And as far as where he gets the machine, did you miss how they belong to a massive international temporal secret society that has shadow wars with reverse-time niggers constantly?
>>220382199>I didn't have the heart to tell him the movie is shit.filtered. it's one of nolan's best movies.
>>220382311You should have no problem objectively describing in unemotional big boy words what was good about it then.
>>220382331its got some nice set piecesthe concept is interesting pattinson is incredibly charismatic and kino af most of the performances are badthe reverse time sequences are SUPER hokey and don't really land or give you an 'oh shit' this is cool feeling, they're kinda just limp and awkwardthe action is shot very poorlythe script is convoluted and childishthe story is convoluted and doesn't need to beit could have been kept much more straight forward without all the bs
I really dislike this movie and its director, but I can say something nice. That airport scene is probably one of the best big budget action set pieces from Hollywood in decades. It is legitimately impressive. Doesn't save the movie though
>>220382435The coolest part is that the scene happens twice and each version of it amplifies the kino of the other version.
>>220382435>>220382467nolan took a real plane and crashed it. dedication to the game
>>220381509What could possibly be worse?(Aside from The Odyssey)
>>220382541>nolan took a real plane and crashed it
>>220381478Its a "never will watch" movie.
>>220381478people who annoy you
>>220381478A very ambitious failure.Nolan at least tried something original. It was a soft remake of a prequel to a sequel to a reboot.
>>220381478I liked some parts of it but when you understand the type of timetravel of this show it all becomes kind of boring. And the MC was just not that good. Dude is not a bad actor, but not good enough to carry the entire movie.
>>220381478I enjoyed a lot of the set pieces early in the movie:>opera raid>building bungee>airport heist>truck heistFrankly I had no problem with John David Washington, and I liked Pattinson, and Michael Caine was a fun surprise.Finally, thanks to the upcoming Odyssey trainwreck, Tenet is far from the stupidest thing Nolan has done.
So was neil the kid from the ugly blond chick? And if so, how did he manage to reverse so far back in time?
>>220381521She was way hotter in Codename Uncle.
it passed the time
>>220382973>how did he manage to reverse so far back in time?by using the inversion for time travel. the organization has their own tech
I actually really like Tenet. I think it's one of Nolan's better films. I would rather watch this again than Inception. JDW is kind of meh, but I love every time Debicki, Pattinson, or Branaugh is on screen. The set pieces and action are great. I think it has the best score behind Interstellar. What little emotional story there is doesn't really land, but the whole thing is an audiovisual treat.
>>220383243Still means he would have need to spend over a decade or two in reverse. It doesnt add up.
>>220381478>Say something niceI liked the soundtrack and Pattinson's performance.More importantly, when I saw Tenet for maybe fourth time, just on TV, it clicked and I finally realised how it works and that it actually makes sense.Russian arms dealer family plot was absolute dogshit though.
>>220381547There is a good chance that you won't enjoy it because you won't understand the basic mechanic of the movie.
>>220381478I can't, sorry. This is where Nolan lost his touch
>>220381753>Gotta have my Batman!
>>220383452it's really not that hard to getthere's a macguffin that looks like the crankshaft from a chevy tahoeretarded kojima-tier time shenanigans are used to get itmore likely you won't enjoy it because it's impossible to hear the dialogue
>>220381478I think the concept of this movie is incredibly cool. Two time travelers over the timeline of the movie, one in reverse while the other is "normal" It's just unfortunate the plot was kinda ass and absolutely generic
>>220381893Even tho the bitch is 6'3" you can make her look 5'10 with tricky camera angles and shit
>>220381521SPBP
>>220381521She was fucking terrible in this movie
The concept is sort of cool, and it's clear conceptually that Nolan wanted to make a palindrone film, but all the effort went into the high concept stuff and not enough time went into actually developing characters and making the audience care about anything that happened. Interstellar had a lot of the same problems, but had much better actors to make it (mostly) work.
>have a cool concept for a hiqh-IQ film>let's make the leading man a nigger
>>220381478It was alright. The premise only makes somewhat sense but it's still a fun scifi thriller. He basically tried to do Inception again but it didn't turn out as good.
It was bad, but everything is now.
>>220381521>AAA I MARRIED A PSYCHO BILLIONAIRE>WHY IS HE SO MEAN AA>PLEASE SAVE ME BLACKIE
>>220381509Not anymore kek
>>220383332neil says the protag is meeting him in the near future so the time adds up
>>220384376No, if he is the blond kid in the movie it doesnt.
>>220381478pattinson was great in it.branagh was great in it. the reverse time thing was something I have never seen before in a film, the only thing as inventive as this in terms of reversing time is the backwards black lodge scenes in twin peaks. it has some very cool practical effects.it has class few films have these days.
>>220381478the first 10 minutes were interesting.
>>220381600Prestige and Inception were worse than the first two Batman movies. He hasn't made anything good since Memento which was probably an accident.
>>220385218what’s not to like about the prestige?
>>220385284Dishonest filmmaking.
>>220385218Sorry faggot. The hat reveal is one of the best examples of show dont tell writing I've seen in a long as fucking time
>>220385404because it “tricked” you? you have to watch closely, anon.
>>220385434"it was all magic lol" isn't tricking, it's dishonest filmmaking.
>>220385452how do you manage to take away the polar opposite of the films intent anon are you dumb
>>220385540Maybe it has something to do with Nolan being a moron who makes bad movies.
>>220385624touché
The opening scene of the opera may be one of the most elaborate things ever filmed for a movie. I literally still don't understand what the point of all that was.
>>220381478the movie looked cool, it had cool scenes
>>220381478cool prenmise and Robert Pattinson is as great as always ...but 2/10 sound mixing, cant hear shitthe black guy has to be the worst actor ever, 0 range, cant smile, cant get angry, always looks like a 50iq retard confused about everythingplot feels unfinished
>>220381478Someone post the kicked dude on train video.
>>220382039And she's the TENET organization leader in the future boilerplate kabbalah colour coding of characters' clothing, all revolves around/leads to her Cockney beardo operayor is Michael Caine as well.
I like the music in the opening scene in the opera.
>>220381478I think the plot is confusing to many regular people, even besides the time travel thing.
>>220381478NIGGIN
>>220387644Nolan basically explains it in Protagonist's conversation with the female scientist:>Don’t try to understand it. Feelit.The movie is more enjoyable as a series of loosely connected set pieces. (If only he gave us the same warning for Inception.)
