TENET - Review Thread (RT/MC, review embargo lifts today)

[RightChandMan]

Going to see a movie in Louisiana right now is pretty bold.

We acknowledge the risks. Orleans Parish numbers cases numbers have been fairly low.

I think it's because I work in TV/Film I am eager to have this industry get back on track. I haven't worked since March and the show I was on is supposed to start production sometime in September.

 

[Wallace Wells]

Yikes at some of those reviews. I'm sure it will still be good (for me)

 

[Lone]

gonna risk Covid for a 67 RT

RT is not a good determining factor whether or not a film is good, but yeah, considering the world right now, I agree.

2/5 The Guadian
C- Indiewire

Yeah, I can wait a few weeks and not die.

 

[Timbuktu]

There are drive in theatres. I can imagine what it is like being like Inception but even more Nolan.

[MadScientist]

Huge Nolan fan and I want to watch this film. However, not going anywhere near a theater anytime soon. Hopefully digital release will be sooner than later.

 

[MegaSackman]

Better.

Now where can I watch this? Fortnite? I'm willing to download it lol

 

[CloseTalker]

Not a chance. It'll be streamable by December. I can wait. Use whatever mental gymnastics you must to justify it, it's a stupid move to go to a theater at all.

 

[That1GoodHunter]

Yikes THIS is the movie that people are going to, quite literally, die for?

 

[JoJo'sDentCo]

Sounds like a skip from me dawg.

I wasn't around here for Rise of Skywalker so it's just hitting me how annoying the discourse will be here.

A drive-in doesn't require gymnastics, just a car.

 

[UberTag]

Ok, ok getting better. The "Most Christopher Nolan-y movie of all-time" headline made me laugh.

Click to shrink...

I suspect that if this film is as indulgent as it sounds like it's going to be I'm going to like it as much as The Dark Knight Rises, Interstellar and Inception (i.e. not much at all).

Nolan's output still in a downward spiral, looks like

Dunkirk

Dunkirk opens as hundreds of thousands of British and Allied troops are surrounded by enemy forces. Trapped on the beach with their backs to the sea they face an impossible situation as the enemy closes in. [Warner Bros.]

Dunkirk | Rotten Tomatoes

In May 1940, Germany advanced into France, trapping Allied troops on the beaches of Dunkirk. Under air and ground cover from British and French forces, troops were slowly and methodically evacuated from the beach using every serviceable naval and civilian vessel that could be found. At the end...

Gonna wait for digital but this movie is right up my alley kinda weird

That's no more or less productive than the discussion generated by any other review thread.

now 85% on Rotten Tomatoes

[Deleted member 51789]

It's not a film I'm going to go out of my way to go to the cinema for in these times but it seems like it's being received pretty well overall. Look forward to seeing what it'd all about when I get the chance (even if the dialogue volume will undoubtedly be a complete mess outside of the cinema as per all Nolan's films)

I still don't understand why that movie scored so well critically. I hated it. Even for movies I don't like that score well, I can at least understand why... but Dunkirk was just so throughly boring and messy for me.

Have to say I'm surprised by these scores. I thought the 5-6 months of not being able to see major films on the big screen would make critics extra lenient with respect to Tenet, putting it over 90% easily.

There we go.

Edit: But we need to see it at like 100 reviews.

 

[Jarmel]

After how high the reviews for Dunkirk and Interstellar were, these reviews make me more hyped.

 

[neatsaux]

final RT score of 72 I feel like

Ain't got no Zimmer to save u Nolan.

This is not an american-only forum though, the assumption everyone on this forum lives in america is something I see often here and it gets annoying at times.

But you're basing this film being a continuation of a downward spiral on other people's reviews. Can't have it both ways...

Dunkirk wasn't that good, sorry.

I wouldn't even say that, most of his output is consistently between 70 - 80 on the MC scale. Judging by the reviews Tenet might end up more like The Prestige tho.

It's not like people forgot how to enjoy movies during this time. Movies still came out. And these reviews aren't exactly negative.

I guess you could say I'm more inclined towards believing the negative/mixed reviews of the newest Nolan release based on how I feel about his last ten years of output.

Still haven't topped Memento.

8/10 from ign is honestly also not great if you think about how ign likes to throw 10s at everything

It wasn't for me. By contrast, The Prestige is considered amazing by most people and is probably Nolan's best film.

It's 76% on RT.

I mean they might be true but this selective bias is kinda ridiculous and you know it lol.

 

[DecoReturns]

I found Dunkirk to be Nolan's best Film and Memento 2nd.
