I thought it was absolute garbage. I had the misfortune of seeing it at the movies on its day of release. Give me back my 16 dollars :gucci:

He always does this pseudo-intellectual bullshyt as well. "If you can't understand it then you just aren't sharp enough and need to watch it again." :childplease: that's just an excuse for terrible film making

I'll answer the OPs question by explaining what inversion is, because I understood it perfectly. You see, you understand what inversion is by thinking about how you would use it in your own life, if you could. If I could invert entropy, then the only thing I'd want to invert is my decision to hand over my hard earned $16 and my decision to spend 2.5 hours of my life that I will never get back, in exchange for sitting through this pile of utter rubbish :pacspit:

Seriously though let's set aside all the time travel bullshyt. That's not what makes the movie so terrible. I can deal with a complicated movie that is about far out concepts that take a lot of time to understand. That's not a problem.

The reason it's the worst thing I've ever seen is because literally none of it matters to the viewer at all. "The world is going to end because of the Russian guy" - WHO CARES, I want the world to end so that I don't have to suffer through another second of these completely robotic characters with zero trace of humanity to them at all. No backstory, no emotions, no passions, no virtues, no skills, no weaknesses, no relationships, NO god damn names... nothing. fukk me dead, even porn movies have better character development than Tenet did. When I watch a porn film, I care about the woman because I want to bust my nut in her, because she is a human and an attractive looking human at that who fools my reptile brain into thinking she might actually be a good mother for my children because she's got wide hips and huge breasts. When I watch Tenet, I don't give a shyt about any of the characters or what happens to them, because there is zero character development. They're not humans. There's nothing remotely human about them. They're not even robots, because I've seen movies with robots in them (like I, Robot with Will Smith, or Blade Runner), and even the robots have deeper characters than the so-called human characters of Tenet.

So yes, I stand by what I said, the average porn video is better movie and a better piece of artwork than Tenet, because it is able to arouse feelings of investment into the plot and feelings of care towards the characters, which Tenet is completely unable to do at any point in the story.

It would make more sense if it was done better. Nolan is turning into a typical cac that is allowed to fail upwards. The Inversion in Tenet had several plot holes and fukk ups so the more you pay attention, the more shyt you noticed they fukked up on with inversion.

So maybe it doesnt make sense to you because you dont understand it. But it also doesnt make sense when you understand it perfectly because certain things shouldnt have happened the way they did by their own logic. He broke his own laws of perverted physics.

can you explain any of the plotholes and fckups

please list some examples

Movie was decent. Don't mean to hate but lead make and female actors were not good. Premise was dumb. They were reaching with the world destruction plot.

what was the premise of the movie to you?

i can only state the obvious which was every character in the movie was a secret agent.

that encompasses many of your complaints.

I honestly suggest not trying to make sense of it though. Thats what really took the enjoyment out of the movie for me.:russ:

I'm referring to the main bad guys plot to destroy the world. It was so contrived.

1. the main bad guy did not have a plot to destroy the world, his backers did. he was merely a pawn.

2. cant agree that a time traveling quantum physics based black ops movie is contrived on any level. though repeating that to myself sounded like you were correct LMFAO

I love chris nolan. I love films that make you think outside the box and most importantly are very well made.
Do i understand this? No. But i can appreciate an somewhat original screenplay.
