Didn’t give a f*** about any of the characters

Will give it a re watch though

it was clear somebody was behind it all we were just lead to believe it was rpats and not the protagonist, classic nolan maneuver

I got the reveal about the protag being in charge the whole time

I got the time mechanics

I got the cool twist that it was elizabeth dibeki who jumped off the boat and she saw her self. I actually found that really poignant when you think about how she talks about that moment and how upset it made her feel earlier in the movie

But I didn’t really get any of the set pieces besides the last one

Most times it wasn’t clear to me WHAT they were doing and what the objective was. And at the end of the set pieces, there was no clear thing they now know or now they have obtained.

Like most scenes felt like I was a foreign person watching people speak English but I didn’t understand English

Need a rewatch where I’m not a dumb person watching it and not understanding it

i didnt feel like it was rpats or protag but someone else above them for whom robert pattinson was working tbh, the reveal was dope

ppl will s*** on this movie for being confusing but praise other movies which are way more confusing and snoozefests

Lynch stans on your ass

i didnt say that name bc i was too scared. Now its over for me

i felt that rpats knew about everything the moment he walked in screen

same, but it felt like he was just super prepared, like a level above Protagonist in the Tenet squad yk

The reveal of them being friends for years

yeah

this so much more layered than his previous films

score snippets

neil looking like bruce wayne during that first art room sequence

I know where your point is coming from but I personally feel like it's comparing apples to oranges. Fx take Intersellar, not only is it 18 minutes longer than Tenet but the pace itself is very slow and focused on the characters and the environment around them. Ad Astra is a better direct comparision even by ignoring the scifi/space connection to Intersellar.

This a espionage film and it fits that mole very good with it's own Nolan flair. From the first minute the movie starts, it's straight action and there's tons of it throughout the movie, which is spare in Memento/Intesellar, it's more respectively mystery and suspense. You have the classic multiple locations, car chases, watch etc. that is typical the spy movie genre.
I've felt that the audience wasn't suppose to identify with the protagonist, therefore the lack of a specific name.

However, I do know where you are coming from and a bit more dynamic between JDW and Kat would be great, the chemistry between RP and JDW were great imo. Just feel like this criticism in particular is kinda brought up a lot in reviews while completely ignoring how someone like James Bond isn't really known for his personality as much as his characteristics and antics. Same goes for that whole movie franchise, it just isn't that kind of movie and it shouldn't really count as a flaw unless it was purposely gunning for that.

I couldnt agree more

Ive seen ppl joke about reviewers saying this movie is humorless

But then say the movie lacks an emotional aspect

A movie doesnt NEED either of those (imo)

Yoooo

Classic

Feeling kinda weird walking through the streets atm

I actually agree a lot with this, you changed my mind.
I thought it came across like a modern 1950/60s spy thriller when I saw it. It was just really a preference for me that I wanted it to have a deeper emotional aspect. But looking at it outside of that deep emotional element; it was so good. Honestly appreciate the movie a lot more now that you said that.

Im really glad the movie didnt told us that Neil is Max at the end or some s*** like that. I do think he is Max but i like that there is some ambiguity.

"In addition to performing stunts backwards, the main cast actually learned how to speak in reverse for their roles. Kenneth Branagh not only had to learn to speak backwards, but also had to do it with a Russian accent (he is Northern Irish in real life)."

Lmaooo

lmao, it was kinda endearing seeing Kenneth ham it up

You gotta stop saying the dialogue was clear when you had mfing subtitles lmao

That s*** is a cheat code Like I really enjoyed the movie but I promise you the audio was that bad if you didn't have subtitles lol

no what im saying is, there were enough moments where i wasnt using the subtitles, just listening, and i understood what they were saying

still had the subtitles

i got tickets for today with subtitles

it had subtitles but i understood most of it without reading them then ..
