Tenet

My wife and I watched this on demand the other night. After about an hour my wife got smart and suggested we turn on the close-captioning function so we could actually follow the story and dialogue. Mr. Nolan, your movies are first-rate when it comes to overall production values and visuals, but my gawd, please tone it down a bit with the background music so we can hear the actual story! This was worse than watching a Michael Bay movie with respect to the volume of the music. As for the story, there was a really good idea and a really good movie in here somewhere, but it just didn't click for me.

Poor actor play

Another well done thriller movie from someone who never let me disappointed with his works.

Its an action thriller film

I FF through most of the movie, then stopped watching in the last 1/3. What a convoluted waste of political correctness time.

I think most people (who dislike this movie) are just having trouble gathering and processing all of the information contained within the film (I’ll admit, it’s dense!). I think it took me 3 viewings of the film to process all the information. Some may see “3 viewings” and think “it’s ridiculous to have to see a movie 3 times to grasp it!” To that I say, sure. But, that is the case with Mr. Nolan. His films are not for the casual movie-goer. I like to think of Mr. Nolan’s films as puzzles; they take a bit of time and brain power to unlock, but it is so gratifying once you finally do. My take: this movie is a modern masterpiece and, if you’re willing to invest yourself in unlocking this puzzle, I think you’ll feel that way too.

Mind you I am a bend time/space enthusiast...reason it was alluring I was ready to walk out in first 30 minutes, however, hung in and was absolutely MAD at myself for not walking out two hours later... confusing, jumps all over the place, just poor delivery! In the end a huge (extremely LOUD btw) waste of time and of course money!

Saw at AMC with the DOLBY SOUND EXPERIIENCE (AMC Danbury, Ct) Great rush from start to finish.....

To music loud and did not understand the movie to complicated but the action was great.

I agree that the volume could be an issue so bring ear buds because the journey is well worth it.

My dad and I went to see this and only watched it for 15 minutes then left to get his money back cause it was way too loud.

Noisy confusing something......

This is one of the best movies I have ever seen in a movie theater. It can be hard to follow at times, but if you pay attention it is brilliantly done! It has some of the coolest fight scenes I have EVER seen. It is also one of the few movies I have ever watched, and while still watching it, decided I wanted to see it again in theaters. Well done movie! Not your average action film!

Confusing, extremely, extremely loud music, bad acting, tiresome, I left before it was over. I reached a point where the popcorn was gone and I was asking myself, why am I wasting my time here. Went to find the manager but Landmark cut all their staff. No refund was available.

I like time travel type movies. While the plot could be difficult to understand it makes perfect sense.

plot too complicated to follow. bad acting. Waste of time and money

Junk

Junk

poor in every way-cast, acting, plot, script, except very good cinematography. Watched all we could handle, couldn't understand the plot and leading actor (for me) had no charisma. We left a little more than half way through after staying longer to "give it a chance".

Stopped by & still WAY TOO LOUD for me to see it again ! this is EAR DRUM DAMAGE loud.. amc IS STILL NOT PAYING ATTENTION.

Worst movie of the year. Only brain dead people would rate it 5 stars.

This movie challenges and you have to think with the movie, if u can it’s one of the best experiences

HAVE THEY LOWERED THE VOLUME YET ?

Worst movie I’ve seen in last ten years. No flow, very confusing, poorly edited. Just horrible

This isn't a film for people who don't enjoy cerebral films - it keeps you on your toes, trying to figure out how it all connects, to figure out what's going on and what might happen, or, what has already happened. If you just want an action movie that goes from point a to point b to point c with some explosions and car chases thrown in, Tenet is not for you. But if you want to go to the movies to see a masterful piece of storytelling that makes you think, leaves your mind blown, and makes you want to watch the film again and again to see what clues and hints you missed the first time, you will LOVE Tenet!!!

Awful. Just awful.

Junk......only a MORON would watch it twice.

Took a bit to understand, but with good reason. So intense and exciting! Gonna go back and watch again

I couldn’t keep up and was lost the whole movie. I kept wondering when it was going to end. Good Camera work though.

if inversion was real i would of got my money back and my 2 hours would of been save from sucking the will out of my life watching this over kill going back words movie, it was a good thing i was at the drive in to watch other film because if i wasn't i would of got my money back for real

A nonsensical plot that turned over stones for no apparent (or explained) reason. It didn't provide adequate character development that would help the audience tolerate the insufferable numbers of holes in the premise. It's a shame. The film was well acted but they could only work with what they were given.

long and dull at times

Remember Inception. Same director. Layer after layer, but well told and easy to follow. Good characters, story telling, and music. This is the complete opposite. Lightening does not strike twice. The actors are B grade, the story is beyond appalling, and the music by some heavy metal stoner is deafening. Save your money.

Loud, confusing, and tedious. But if you're desperate enough, you'll go see it, but few stick around to the end, because by that time the popcorn is gone and you no longer care to watch.

Loved everything about it. Lots of content that keep you wondering and thirsting for more.

The movie a ground breaking concept in same fashion as matrix was but needs work putting it together, plus difficult to understand characters unfortunately portion of dialog they are in mask. The Visual effects and location are incredible, but some piecing of th film needs work.

BAD MOVIE!!!! I dont understand the high ratings!!!!!!! 6 people went to see it and all 6 says its horrible!!

I’m sorry this movie was, is and will be forever horrible. Basically it’s a heist movie to prevent a war but they introduced a plot twist who’s premise just doesn’t work. And it’s poorly executed at the same time. At this point the advertising media are trying to bump up the ratings because it’s losing a lot of money at the box office. I feel cheated by Hollywood movies these days.

Twisted story line...ear shattering...but good action that held my interest!!!

It's pretty confusing and the sound is really loud for some reason but still really cool visuals and action.
