Tenet (2020) - Christoper Nolan

Just came out, mostly made logical sense within the rules of the movie however some of the
back/forth action scenes
were really tricky to follow.

The bass was unforgiving though...utterly relentless soundtrack, need to obtain it :)

Feel like Pattinson stole the show a bit.

Oh...no Dune trailer :(

Great :-/

One of the worst things about Interstellar was the voice track for me, especially with Matthew 'Mumble' McConaughey, I struggled to catch a lot of his dialogue

It's not bad all the way through, there is just one distinct scene where it's a bit of a struggle to make out Brannagh's lines. However, having slept on it, I think it was kept deliberately vague due to the context of the scene.
 
I'm going to watch again at the weekend so i'll focus more on the dialogue, it may well have been worse than I thought and I was so caught up doing the science stuff in my head keeping up that I didn't notice :p

EDIT: Was just reading a review and had forgotten Aaron Taylor Johnson was in this, even more surprised at who it is, was scratching my head as I recognised the face but the english squaddy accent totally put me off.

To the surprise of absolutely no one its another Nolan film with scuffed sound mixing.

Waiting for the Nolan fan boys to some how defend this with comments like 'he wanted you to not hear important dialogue over the obnoxious music'

While I didn't have any issues with the dialogue apart from the one scene I mentioned, i'm not going to blindly fanboi defend this. It does have issues, as I mentioned in the 'what film did you watch last night' thread. However after watching Nolans movies for close to 20 years, I kind of know what to expect to be wrong by now before going in :)

Overall, the good outweighs the bad by a big margin, sound is just something he never quite gets right.
 
I'm not sold on Neil being Cat's son, there is nothing to say he isn't of course but i'd expect some more clear indications towards it being the case based on previous Nolan movies.

ETA: "Washington wakes up on a boat, where his boss explains that his new mission is to join something called Tenet, which we know is the name of the movie but he doesn’t. Then the CIA puts Washington inside a windmill. The reason he has to live in a windmill is to get his present self out of the way so his future self can operate freely during this part of the timeline, but they don’t explain this in the moment so it seems like they just want him to get really good at pull-ups." - lol.

Pullup is also a palindrome ;)
 
I've watched it a few times now and despite it's faults (some muffled sound, generic quarry battle) I really like it still, obviously in the lower tier of Nolans movies with the likes of TDKR/Dunkirk.

It's not remotely as complex as a lot of people make out, it's just told in a manner that makes it seem needlessly complicated.
