Theatre was dead; there was 7 people inside and in total, there were only 20 + seats.
For those who loves to jump around theaters and see free movies (my dad is guilty of this)... those days are over, due to they count # of people inside the theatre and if social distancing is in place.
Back to the movie.
We all know Nolan loves playing with time. Momento, Interstellar, Inception, and now Tenet. It's a 10 yr in the making script; protagonist is played by John David Washington (Yes, you guessed it, Danzel's Washington's son), with the help of Robert Pattinson (He was ok.. wasn't as stuck up as I remembered him from Twilight).
What was visually 'different' is also the part which became super confusing for the audience. (During Inception, the protection team would chase after Leo, where entire world doesn't know or care who you are; it was still exciting with the tension of him him being chased). In Tenet, it became such a huge distraction because things were moving backwards and forwards. A bit distorted, complex, and not so visually appealing. It's not a porno movie; I'm trying to watch the main character do stuff, not be distracted by a gangbang.
I keep comparing to his previous movies because he uses now the SAME formula (in music) to create suspense, climax and ways to an end. You know where the twist will be, what's going to happen and why things happen they way they are.
Still complex, just not OMGWTF did I just see anymore.
Most likely I'm not going to watch this one again, based on 2 things a) no major lead being cast so not so much star power and b) wasn't visually appealing to me (inception & interstellar kept on bending streets and ceilings)
Al in all, John W really reminds me of his dad, has his walk & talks of his dad Denzel movements, he wasn't that good.... Story, screenplay, score.. well done. just not 9/10 worthy like his previous movies.
7/10
