That's why everybody in the movie constantly says "Don't think about it too hard". It's more of an action movie, not some deep cerebral sci-fi. The way it works is an excuse to make some *exquisite* scenes and is totally worth it.

Tenet is fucking gnarly. Confusing, but cool and very fun. The only other action movie I can think of with time travel is Timecop. And Timecop kinda sucks.

Yes, in a nutshell. Tenet looks lovely, but the time consistency is appalling. The physics is also broken, and the whole thing just becomes a mess if you start thinking about it. There are very few consistent time travel films. Back to the Future is good, and the TV series Dark handles it brilliantly.

If you ever do, have your volume control handy. It's all ear blasting SFX and tiny little muted whispers of dialog. Every time somebody talks you need to turn up the volume by 200% and every time something happens you need to turn it down to 5%... it was infuriating.

It's trash. Don't waste your time.

You shoukd watch it. It’s really good but you do have to suspend disbelief for a bit.

I'd say it is the sort of premise that the writers thought sounded clever but is actually boring as hell (imho, after a single sloggy viewing)

Christopher Nolan makes *awesome* science fiction. Mostly, the science doesn't *work*, so he's being very liberal with the term "science fiction." You could call it "science stupid" or you could just roll with it and enjoy the movie. Not knocking your position. The first time I watched Tenet, I got a headache. There were some awesome action scenes and a couple nice "a-ha!" moments, but after three viewings, the battle at the end still gets me fucked up. Either I'm not smart enough or Nolan isn't, but either way, the movie does not connect with me. However, Interstellar is one of my favourite films. Prestige was good, too. I don't care for his war or Batman movies. His brother Jonathan Nolan makes some fucky movies (and shows), too — I think he was part of the Westworld TV series on HBO. The first season was solid, though it quickly went downhill after that. Stay exactly as long as Anthony Hopkins does, and then bounce. They're both brilliant and worth following, but sometimes Christopher Nolan gets a little too high on his own supply. I'll still watch his science fantasy movies though.

Is not a “plot hole” if you simply accept that we cannot comprehend reverse entropy. For example you could “plug” that “hole” with the assumption that free will doesn’t exist and all of existence is predetermined. There were bullet holes in the wall from the perspective of those going forward, because there had to be in order for entropy to work for those going backward. The movie is fun because it makes you think — assuming you find thinking fun. Actually it’s also fun if you just turn your brain off and watch things blow up.
