Booooooo this man 

I haven't seen it yet, but Nolan is king to me and doesn't produce garbage 

 

Did you find Inception confusing? 

Well this is pretty much garbage to average at best. Maybe the subtitles will help some but I wouldn't rush out to see it.

I’ll admit, I originally thought James Harden a curious choice to play the lead, but he did a nice job.

1st watch, f'ing awesome, but I'll need to watch it again, at least once, to determine how good it was.  I tried not to overthink it while watching it, but, really, how can you not?  Even overthinking it I'm still struggling to actually get it.  It did rock my home theater like no other movie ever has before.  The whole house was f'ing shaking.

I can help explain stuff if needed! Haven’t thought on it much in a couple months but I caught like 85% in theater and solidified the rest in a lot of YouTube deep dives back in like august or whenever it released 

It was ok

Spoiler

I didn't know it was going to be another time travel movie. Maybe I'm null to these kinds now

the guy that gets shot where the fence is that's inverted also has the thing on his back pack so Twilight sacrifices himself to save the world. It ties into the whole everything happens the way it's supposed to happen

 John David Washington's "first" exposure to time inversion is in the orchestra hall at the center, where a guy with a red ribbon hanging from his pack saves him from getting shot by a bullet travelling backwards. So in addition to seemingly sacrificing himself in the underground bunker to open the chain link gate, allowing JDW to stop the huge henchman from detonating the bomb at the end (during the red team/blue team pincer move), shows us that Batman 6.0 was even helping out/looking after JDW prior to them "meeting" in India to plan the bunjee jump sky scraper climb.

If I loved Inception, would I also love this movie?  I haven't seen Inception in awhile, but I did find it confusing.  I think it was so visually incredible that I just didn't give an ish.  

Other than both being directed by Nolan I don't think this movie is much like Inception.

Visually

Inception>Tenet

IMO

Agreed. I still think Tenet was an interesting movie and for me it’s worth a buy. With a Nolan movie, you’re getting a fresh movie every time. 
 

just make sure you put captions on. 

It's definitely not worth a 19.99 buy or whatever the price is now.

something we agree on! If you factor in just the "wear and tear" mileage rate on a car, even a $10 matinee ticket somewhere still runs you about $20 to go see in the theaters. EVERYONE has seen dozens of trash films at the theater, and during may of those drop sums of cash on snack and drinks. $19.99 for this film to watch multiple times, lend to friends/family/etc. is 100% worth the cost.

Come on down to CVON.

It was worth my 19.99. I need to watch it a few more times too. I love movies that spin a big web

For what, a dvd? Who buys hard copies of things anymore?

There are moments when this movie feels like Nolan has matured past his "I'm the greatest" phase and settled into a late Almodovar vibe of just crafting great stories.  First and foremost he remembered how to use a soundtrack.  Certain fantastic frames are allowed to sit and breathe.  The time buddy cop dynamic smells of potential. 

But then it just falls flat as it goes.  Just like Inception, great sci-fi ideas for creative combat get thrown out the window for a climax full of regular old hand to hand fighting.  The mysterious gets mundane.  

I'm real damn close to simply never giving Nolan another chance.

It is already on sale for 14.99 from Microsoft, it will probably be 9.99 in the next month on one of the providers.  It is for 4k codes.  I saw them on Reddit earlier for 10 so it is definitely dropping.

Say what you want about Nolan but his ideas are at least original.
