Don’t @ me with, like, this other Nolan movie is better for this reason, or that other Nolan movie is better for that reason, I’d probably even agree, but it ain’t matter!
Tenet pressed all of my science fiction action thriller buttons big time, and I inhaled its insane pacing like a stream of pure oxygen, helped along by Görannson’s score, van Hoytema’s cinematography, the unique texture of analog film, and this incredible movie palace.
10/10.
Even weeks later, each time I put on my mask and leave the house, I imagine myself to be the Protagonist leaving the Freeport building and experiencing inverted time for the first time.
