Done1517 Review of Tenet

Tenet (2020)

A cinematic experience.

[7/10 · 2 September 2020]

First of all: I am a damn huge Chris Nolan Fan. Inception, Prestige, Dunkirk, Interstellar, everything great movies. So Nolan wanted to make his own Bond here, but in Nolan style with some element of time. Now lets talk about some pros and cons of this movie.

PROS:

• Ludwig Göransson. Just great, the trap elements a great and in the final confrontation he outdoes himself.
• Performances. No one really disappointed, espacially Robert Pattinson gives a good performance. But also John David Washington, Kenneth Branagh,...
• The experience. You have to watch this movie in cinema. It´s really something else with the good quality sound of IMAX. But also to just really feel it. It keeps you interested and it pushes you into your seat.
• Hoyte Van Hoytema. Nolan found his whats for Tarantino his Robert Richardson. Big or small images, everything is great and very tense filmed.
• The airplane scene.

CONS:

• The whole inversion thing. Like seriously wtf. The whole inversion thing was announced as the biggest thing of the movie and it was just meh. Hard to follow along and pretty boring (not the airplane scene).
• Characters are boring. The Protagonist gets no story arc, he is like us just there to learn what inversion and TENET is but it isnt very interesting.

--- TENET is a great movie with good scenes and good perfomances. It keeps you interested and its funny at the right points. But it lacks and some big plot points and the characters are sometimes just there to explain the plot. But still a good one, Mr.Nolan.
