I think it's also not worth ignoring that Nolan's been making movies for 20+ years, has made 11 feature length movies, and all of them, even though some have clear issues, have been pretty universally positively received by audiences and critics alike. And each one has managed to maintain either cultural long-lasting significance (TDK Trilogy, Inception, Interstellar, Dunkirk) or cult classic status (Memento, Insomnia, The Prestige). His practical effect use has ensured that in a lot of cases.
Even with the divisiveness of TENET, it seems like even the people who didn't care for the movie aren't hating on it. There's enough respect and craft there for it to still be well received, even by those being critical of it.
Hard thing to do this far in a filmmaker's career and something only a handful have managed to pull off. I'm not a Nolan shill, but I feel like the guy gets a bad rep and people love to overhate on him to seem indie or cool. There's no denying the filmmaker is one of the most successful (if not the most powerful) in the business right now and anyone trying to act like it's not warranted, is VERY misguided.
Haters will always be a vocal minority, one of the few directors that the casual audience completely trusts in making a quality product whether they like it or not. That's a special feat.
It’s nothing to do with sound systems or speakers or theatres
Nolan’s sound mixers have said since TDKR he favours dialogue to be lower in his mixes than foley and score.
He wants it to confuse and engage the listener idk some artsy s***
The theatres aren’t part of it, it’s how the audio is processed
Mike Dean influence
That good huh?
I've been trying to figure this out. I obviously enjoyed it a lot, but I wonder how much was just being super excited to be back in a cinema.
4 hours and 30 mins
Is waiting for it to come to a major city the earliest I’ll see this? In the US at least.

Just watched it again
Bombastically good
Didn't you dislike it the first go around?
Didn't you dislike it the first go around?
I didn’t dislike it I just found it very hard to follow everything clearly
Second watch really helped me appreciate the specifics
