Tenet was great! I’ll definitely purchase when out for release. I left the theater with many questions, but I love movies that make me think. I can’t wait to watch it again with subtitles. Nolan has done it again!

You have to pay attention to every word to put it together at the end, and even then will be left scratching your head with a need to see it again.

This film was intense only due to music, over-reaching camera angles, and special effects. The screenplay was awful. The story development was absent. We don’t really get to know “the protagonist,” enough to care if he lives or dies. The directing was awful too. It was the biggest let-down... so bummed. I expected so much more. Such a waste of thousands of hours and millions of dollars. If you want special effect eye candy and a popcorn bucket full of broken dreams, you’ll love it.

I've been waiting for this movie for a very long time. Visually, it was everything I hoped for, and more. I think it fell to the Christopher Nolan characteristic of muddled speech. The dialog was very important but it was sometimes very hard to understand. That said, I highly recommend it!

There are things in this movie that will blow your mind. Extremely original and I’d expect nothing less from Christopher Nolan.

good movie but initial parts are slow & feels all disconnected. get a closed caption device as the dialogues are not audible in some places. need to follow every word to understand all the dots connecting at the end

one of the most original movies I have ever seen. I believe it need multiple viewings to fully understand but still amazing on the first watch. the only reason it gets 4 stars from me is due to the sound mixing for the vocals. They tend to be soft with loud background noise that makes it inaudible at times.

This is tough. In my opinion this movie is crazy ambitious and cool. its original, its clever, its trippy, its concept is cool and its a fun movie overall. think a videogame plot or like a James Bond movie. in typical Nolan fashion the movie ties things back around. the majors cons to this movie are this....it is hard to follow due to editing at least more so the first half. the sound mixing is terrible, it is so hard to hear a majority of what is said. subtitles seem essential. characters talk alot and say important details ever word, its important to hear them to understand whats going on. This is a movie you will prolly appreciate on multiple viewings or once you have a general grasp of the movie. but man that sound mixing is weak here.

I couldn't follow most of the movie's time travel, paradox and storyline. I wish I hadn't paid this see it.

Super fast paced and comes at times as hard to catch up but leaves you thinking hard about the beginning, middle and end

Once again seizing control of the medium, Nolan attempts to alter the fabric of reality, or at least blow the roof off the multiplexes. Big, bold, baffling and bonkers.

No other artform could quite present such a collision of time, place, idea and emotion, and it’s clear that Nolan’s pure intent is to give us the utmost of what this medium can uniquely provide. At its best this is a ride that manages to be viscerally thrilling while still being emotionally and intellectually engaging, all in ways that are truly, uniquely cinematic. In other words, say what you will about the tenets of Tenet, at least it has an ethos.

What kind of picture is it? Big, certainly: IMAX-scaled, and a hefty 150 minutes even after a visibly ruthless edit. It’s clever, too — yes, the palindromic title has some narrative correlation — albeit in an exhausting, rather joyless way. As second comings go, Tenet is like witnessing a Sermon on the Mount preached by a savior who speaks exclusively in dour, drawn-out riddles. Any awe is flattened by follow-up questions.
