Sarah (7800 KP) rated Tenet (2020) in Movies
Aug 28, 2020 (Updated Aug 28, 2020)
Confusingly brilliant
When it comes to Christopher Nolan, I may be a little biased. Iâve loved every film heâs ever made, and most of his films feature in my list of favourite films of all time. So unsurprisingly, I loved Tenet even if it did completely mess up my head.
This film is a complete mind f**k. Excuse the language, but thereâs no better way to describe it. Right from the opening scene, you can appreciate the sheer brilliance of this whilst being totally confused at the same time. And Iâll admit I spent the majority of this film wondering what on earth was going on, but that doesnât make it any less of an enjoyable thrill ride. As with all of Nolanâs films, the cinematography is top notch and you really canât fault it. The action scenes are epic and hugely impressive, especially when you consider that theyâve been done without CGI. I wish other filmmakers would take not when it comes to their over reliance on CGI! The score and soundtrack are fantastic too, so dramatic and really help with the increasing the suspense and tension.
Cast-wise, I had been concerned about John David Washington mainly because I havenât seen him in much, but my concerns were unwarranted. He makes for a likeable lead and action hero and can definitely hold the weight of this film. Robert Pattinson, who Iâve never really liked thanks to Twilight, is also rather good and I actually wish his character had been in this more. And I spent the last part of the film debating if Aaron Taylor-Johnson was Ives (he was) who also shouldâve been in this a lot more.
Despite my gushing, this film isnât perfect, I found Elizabeth Debickiâs character Kat rather irritating at times and felt like her character could have been made into someone better. I also felt when there were dips in the action and the film ran into some quieter moments, my mind tended to wander to try and dissect and understand everything Iâd already seen so far which probably made me miss more! The science behind the inversion is pretty deep and confusing, especially if you try and overthink it like I did.
That said, how this film unfolds and itâs ending are brilliantly done. There are a lot of lightbulb moments in this towards the end that made me go âohhhâ when I realised it explained or referred to an earlier moment in the film. And the ending itself was both unpredicted, genius, and also tugged on the old heartstrings a little. I loved this film a lot, but I definitely need to watch it again to really appreciate it fully.

Must watch, for so many reasons
This is an extraordinary piece of TV history. Everything is pitch perfect from beginning to end. Often it is difficult to watch, especially during the first two episodes, but you always feel that it's important to keep watching. A cautionary tale if ever there was one but also a homage to all of the people affected by the accident. Brilliantly made, deftly written and with masterclass acting on show. It deserves all the praise received so far.

Good moral message (1 more)
Cool images and scene
Kinda Cool Kinda Weird
The storyline was kind of thrown together but it makes for a happy kids movie with upbeat music and a happy message at the end. Good for entertaining the kids but not if you want to watch it ugh yourself. All in all the music was a little overdone but the actual film was cool to watch, just not something I wanted to sit there and pay attention to for another two hours.

Thought I would watch before I watch death on the nile. as I've both seen the two previous versions one made for tv and the 1974 film version so I already knew what was gonna happen and knew who dunnitt. It has a all star cast of suspects and then there's Kenneth branagh as poirot not someone I would of thought to play poirot but he is the star and the director overall good who dunnitt bring on death on the nile
