I would suggest reading an explanation of it online because there will be some concepts in the movie where you'll go "it just happens". It honestly felt like one of those "intellectual" movies that think its really smart when it's really just convoluted for the sake of it. With that said, it does have some really cool fight scenes, the stand out is the hallway one, that never fails to impress me.

watch it and read on wikipedia after.

basically there's a machine that lets you go back in time, as well as manipulating objects to go back in time. Shooting someone with an inverted bullet is basically getting your bullet back to your gun

That is all of Christopher Nolan's movies after Batman. Inception, Interstellar, Tenet. All made as complex and confusing as possible so people will think he is a movie making genius. While in reality he is just kind of a pretentious asshole.

Ok movie with an interesting premise but it was too long and poorly executed IMO.

Inception didn't seem confusing to me at all. I haven't seen Interstellar but I agree that Tenet was pretentious

I'm about an hour in, and called it a night. It's ok, but it feels like they jump into stuff too fast. Like one is the main guy running point on this mission when he's still just a noob. Why do all these people trust each other so fast?

Will finish tomorrow

It's pretty straight forward.

Inception - Dream within a dream within a dream
Interstellar - Half time dilation gone crazy half Novikov's self-consistency principle.
Tenet - More focused look into the Novikov self-consistency principle.

You just don't get it, man!

I mean in all fairness people should just make better movies that arent confusing then.

edit:

for the movie itself TC, wait until the end. It starts connecting like an hour and a half in or so. The only part I got sorta lost on was the ending with the partner sacrificing his life for the protagonist. it took a second watch to figure out how he got there.

Average moviegoer has no clue who Novikov is or that his self-consistency principle exists. I get the concept of it but it hurts my fucking brain trying to dig into it beyond the surface.

I enjoyed it, but I had to be diligent on my rewatch to really follow all of it.

Also I love Nolan, but the one thing I won't forgive is his audio mixing.

I never said I didn't understand them. That still doesn't change that he can be a bit of an asshole.

I didnt know about it until this thread and spent way too much time this weekend trying to understand that and similar theories and solutions to paradox.

I'm interested in watching it now that it's on HBO Max but I dunno. Nolan is terrible at writing dialogue and the movie also kinda sounds dumb. Maybe making the dialogue unintelligible in Tenet was on purpose lol

I just finished it. It's ok, but one of Nolan's weaker films. Memento did the non-linear narrative thing better imo.
