Christopher Nolan is sometimes called a 'cold director' like Stanley Kubrick. But Kubrick never made a film with a main character as devoid of personality (and name) as TENET. It is the perfect post-lockdown movie as everyone mumbles behind masks and time seems to be disrupted.Permalink On Internet Archive

The film simply has no character. All it has is its concept and its rule system. INCEPTION used its rules to tell a story about regret and living in a dream of the life you want. INTERSTELLAR used its concept to tell a story about fatherhood. TENET is just about its concept.On Internet Archive

Most frustratingly, it's a concept that Nolan has filmed before and done well in MEMENTO by inverting the memory of time rather than time-as-entropy. He's already made a better version of this concept.Permalink On Internet Archive

And spoilers, I guess, but ice is not the inverse of fire.Permalink On Internet Archive

Also, spoilers, but I'd heard the movie itself was a palindrome and I was excited because one of my favourite Kubrick movies, EYES WIDE SHUT, is a palindromic movie. TENET is not a palindromic movie.Permalink On Internet Archive

Still, it was a great experience to be back in a cinema even if the film itself was underwhelming.Permalink On Internet Archive
