Not watchable

I honestly tried to watch this but kept skipping ahead hoping for something better. Absolute garbage.

It's hard to really enjoy a movie when you don't bother to watch the movie.

that is not the Way Of The Internet. :)

I found TENET to be one of the most interesting and captivating movies I've ever seen.

It hurt my brain... in such a grand way!!!

I love Tenet myself. But like, I'd be totally fine if someone hates it.

It's just silly for someone to be like "it's garbage so I just kept skipping through the movie while watching it". Like, why didn't you just stop watching. Why did you come here to post that meaningless sentence (but to be fair, this site is full of superficial posting. lol hell, if I had a penny for every thread that just went "I liked it!"...)

But yeah, found it fascinating. Captivating is a good weird. It's such a puzzle visually and narratively; I wished more people could appreciate it. The progression to that final war scene with both normal and inverted soldiers was one hell of a climax.

I agree. "Not watchable" is the best way to describe it

I DID sit through the whole movie and was just baffled by what I saw. It's what happens when "creative freedom" goes too far

The studios, the press, and his die hard fanbase were all so in love with Nolan that it made him lose his self awareness and sense of perspective

It's been a gradual process from Inception, to The Dark Knight Rises, to Interstellar, to Dunkirk, to this. You see the same problems popping up over and over and even getting worse

The Dark Knight was his last truly great movie. I think since then he has convinced himself that he is a genius and has insisted on writing these massive-scale original stories that are SUPPOSED to be both smart and thrilling. But in reality he is a pretty lousy writer. He should just be directing his movies or find a writing partner other than his brother
