Reviews seem pretty devisive so far with the usual complaints about excess of exposition dumps, bad sound design, etc. Do you think when it's all said and done this is the movie that puts him in that Kubrick category? Or will hype be lower for his next film?

Great filmmakers always have duds or "minor" works. This would be like asking if Scorsese making "The Color of Money" in the 80s lowered appreciation for his legacy. Or asking if "Inherent Vice" lowered appreciation for PTA's legacy. Nolan is already a legend and even though Tenet is mostly being praised as really good (I think you confuse divisive for not being as widely praised as his major works), Tenet's success or failure is not going to take anything away from Nolan and he will continue being able to make anything he wants because he is still far and away, the most in demand filmmaker in Hollywood.

Bad sound design and having a travis scott score go hand and hand

Give me about a week and I'll get back at you. Aside from bad sound mixing, I take all the other criticisms with a grain of salt. Things like exposition dumps and lack of emotion aren't inherently bad. I need to view them within the context of the film.

interstellar had worse reviews and it was fantastic lol

nolan is fine. hes the biggest filmmaker in the world he can make whatever he wants

Hes better than kubrick

The sound wasn’t even bad imo strange considering I saw it in IMAX
I also don’t agree with some other criticisms but that’s just me.

He’ll be fine

Too early to say, can’t go off early reviews/feedback right now. Will have to wait and see how it holds up in 5-10 years.

I don’t get the bad sound mixing complaints his movies have gotten since TDKR tho. Haven’t seen Tenet yet but these are clearly conscious decisions by Nolan and his team. Thought it worked great in Dunkirk and Interstellar. They want those scenes to feel visceral and not clean cut. Main cause for complaints is more likely that the theaters speakers are old or aren’t properly calibrated

He will never be in the same categorie as Kubrick. Which is totally fine btw

the sound mix in my cinema was fine

hearing this is confusing like inception, gonna see it this weekend, nolans legacy is fine even though he does make the same film over and over

His films often rely on different aspects of time and its relation to physics, but that doesn’t mean they are the same movie. How are Dunkirk, Interstellar, TDKR and Inception, just from the Last 10 years, the same movie?

tbh I feel like Nolan's work will always be highly regarded just because of his track record. Plus the mix reception actually makes me even more intrigued cause I can see ppl going back to this film and feeling differently about it. Ppl also have to think about the time we're in. This Pandemic definitely has had an effect on viewers

nolan is a legend man

with just the last big action sequence alone, and the s*** that went into filming it

heighten most certainly

this s*** is so ambitious and stunning

def think it’s a movie that will need more than one viewing. can’t hold up a movie from the guy who made inception, instellar, dunkirk, prestige, memento, etc to just one watch

Nolan is up there with my fav directors of all time, but Kubrick changed cinema forever with a single film

But yeah he's top 2 of our generation together with Tarantino imo

I heard only praises around me, critics saying it’s bad are just trying to be contrarian. Not his best work but still an amazing movie that only he could have made

what movie and why? never seen his films

I'm assuming he/she is talking about "2001: a Space Odyssey". Technical innovations

2001: a space odyssey, just look it up yourself my words wont do it justice

2001 space odyssey the best nyquil alternative oat
