Revanth It wouldn’t surprise me. All of his characters in “Inception” were analogues for roles in movie making. DiCaprio was the director, Joseph Gordon Levitt was the producer, Tom Hardy was the actor, Ellen Page was the set/production designer, Cillian Murphy was the audience, Ken Watanabe was the studio, etc. And Christopher Nolan was using the film for his own inception, to implant his ideas into the minds of the audience members.
Yesss that first scene I felt like someone played it half way thru. I didn't know why he was there and some dudes pointing guns at each other for some reason during the raid then someone gets reverse shot or some shit and then he ends up on train tracks
This movie was a bit too complicated to fit in 2.5 hours. Chris being the writer understood the stuff happening but me and a lot of my friends and family felt like this was the 9th and 10th episode of a spy sci-fi thriller. I was more invested in how protagonist will make the plan and meet Rob and teach him than the actual thing. He should release the full 4 hour something version of it where it can actually make sense.
I think that is the reason it started like that. You feel you are watching the beginning but that direct in your face starting 5 mins makes you doubt yourself. And later its revealed that yeah you were really in the middle.
It must be the film though. I watched Inception, Interstellar and TDK in cinemas a week or 2 before Tenet and I could hear all the dialogue perfectly fine. I genuinely think he messed up the sound mixing here.

@Kal Judah nah, it's more like Reality Stone, because they were changing reality and hoping that it fool's someone into changing their mind. If it was the Mind Stone, the subconscious wouldn't be a problem.
Honestly the most confused I've ever been in a cinema. I got the concept, I just got really lost with who was backwards and who was forwards and how a certain explosion would work. Basically it kinda hurt my head, still a good movie though.
100% agree. I was confused during certain plot lines, but Christopher Nolan gave us plenty to leave this movie with a general understanding of it, a main idea: Good guys saving the world by navigating through the past and future and its relationship with the present.

Nolan really needs a new sound mixing guy. That’s a bad habit of his throughout all of his films. Extremely loud bass, music, and sound affects, extremely quiet dialogue.
Jokes on him cuz why would I put myself through that. Can’t stand movies that demand me to buy another ticket to watch a second time to understand the story like no....that’s not how it should work
Inception was layered with concurrent events so that mindfuck of a movie was still easy to understand. Tenet’s layers are in the past and future and their interaction which makes it harder to follow than the concurrent layers of Inception. Still, great movie. I’m gonna have to watch this one to understand it more unlike Inception which didn’t leave me with many questions.
Well, I could hear it fine. You must all have really bad ears because I do not understand how you can not hear and understand the diologue in Tenet and English isn't even my first language
Jensie I loved the movie. I saw it in IMAX, but there were definitely parts where the dialogue was indiscernible. Maybe it was made to be that way - idk. But when a majority of people have this issue, it’s not an issue with the people - it’s an issue with the audio mix.
Jarod Castro great comparison. It was an incredible movie. I’d give it a 3.5-4/5 after one watch, but I think it will get better with more watches. People just like to complain, unfortunately.
I’m waiting for the day a studio has the balls to do this. Because you know damn well my ass would be in theater opening night from the anticipation of it.
Quite literally that's all I want from now on. Trailer: (Black screen, white text) "New Christopher Nolan movie, date: -- / -- / --" 0:05 Me: "I'm there"
I went into this movie completely blind, I avoided everything and ran away from the trailers on tv, etc. When things started going backwards my mind melted and it was an amazing experience
Wooooww i think everyone got that shit, people didn’t get how you can reverse ITEMS and have them react to your FEELING in the first part only for the second part of the movie to not ever mention that shit again....and dont get me started on the dialogue

I feel sorrier for the guy who watches them. They have absolutely no substance, no character plot, no depth. With each film the set up and concept becomes more and more convoluted; to the point where all those things that make a film great, plot, character, story, dialogue are just servants to the concept. How did filmmaking get this bad? Where it's just an agenda, or a special effect that the audience are being asked to pay to see.

Good to know. I saw it in IMAX tonight. Going back for Dolby Theater tomorrow and hopefully it’ll be better. I might ask if they have an app for the hard of hearing so I can watch it with subtitles on my phone or something.
I saw in a regular theater, too. Had no problems at all. Everything was nice and loud including dialogue. So many people are saying they have problems, I'm glad I'm not the only one who didn't.
@@MrJagermeister It's not any better in Dolby. I saw it like 4 hours ago and was like Jesus I'm missing plot points here cause I can't hear what the fuck they're saying
I’m glad I’m not the only one who thought this I mean every time someone talked they either mumbled their line or it was covered up by their thick ass accent.
I wish I had the option to watch movies with subtitles, I live in USA do I don't get that unless is a non english speaking film but I hate that I don't have the option. I watch absolutely everything with subtitles
Subverted so true, it’s so annoying watching at home having to constantly switch the volume back and forth. Dialogue scenes are quiet as hell and then Hans Zimmer blows out your speakers during action scenes lol. At least you can have subtitles at home I guess.
No it wasn’t just you, Jeremy. Yh sound mixing in this film is fvcked. It really helped lose me in the plot.. I can also see Tenet (and maybe The Batman) potentially being the film that gets Pattinson cast as the next Bond.
I was so confused in the opening, I didn’t know why they were rescuing that guy at the opera house, where they were taking him, why they brought a different guy and why the people he was working with got angry with him when he brought a different guy. All I heard was something about the terrorist attack being a front to kill him and then the guy he met with saying “you brought us a nobody” like what was going on
@@mrcritical6751 Right there with you friend. No clue what was going on - and you absolutely nailed all the confusing elements. I understood all the weird Time Inversion stuff way more than the "conventional" opening... and I'm still struggling with some of that Time Inversion stuff!
Went into the movie with a lot of excitement and left the movie feeling a little bit underwhelmed. The movie was okay, nothing in the movie felt new since the trailers spoiled everything. I didn’t care too much for the characters, expect for Neil. Neil was my favorite character and his arc is well written. The cinematography was so good. I’ve never watched such a crystal clear movie. EDIT: It’s almost a year later since the last time I watched Tenet. I watched it today and to be honest, I appreciate it way more than I did when it first came out. I love the concept of inversion and it’s structured really well throughout the film. I also like the spy aspect of the film. The Protagonist is an interesting character. I like how he helps Kat while also using her. Neil is still the best character in my opinion and I personally started to feel more for Kat. Sure there’s some exposition but honestly I really don’t give a damn because the exposition didn’t ruin the film for me. Kenneth Branagh as Sator was and is still incredible in Tenet. The film really grew on me and I recommend everyone to watch it again if they didn’t like/understand it.
The sound mixing was awful, especially at the beginning when you’re trying to understand what the characters are doing and you can’t understand a word they are saying
I had no problem hearing and understanding everything, maybe the centerchannel was louder in my theater. I saw inception with the center channel on half volume in the theater, that was terrible, got my money back thankfully.
I'm going out on a limb and saying, since The Dark Knight Rises and maaaayyyybe Inception, the vast, vast majority of people either don't understand dialogue in chunks of the movie or understand it while recognizing it's not actually very easy to understand. Even the trailers for this movie have weirdly indistinct dialogue to the point I had to switch on subtitles or captioning (something I otherwise never have to do).
I'm soooo happy I didn't see a trailer before I watched Tenet. I literally had no idea what the film was about apart from the poster and that's so rare. I would definitely recommend anyone to watch as few trailers as possible. Also, very happy to live in a country where films are subtitled, because when they're not, I always think I'm missing pieces of dialogue.
It's literally impossible to not watch trailers when you go to the cinema a lot. I end up getting so bored of the films before they even come out from seeing the trailer over and over.
except there is no loop, for what was depicted in this movie to have happened time could not have changed past to present and vice-versa. That means no loop just a straight line, btw that also means no free-will.
@@andrewmarinelly5838 at the end spoilers the "Protagonist" is hinted to go back in time to recruit Patterson and the old lady, so this string of events are going to happen again, and again that's a loop
Jeremy, I feel like everyone else who's reviewed this movie has been as cryptic as the trailers, and I really appreciate you laying it all out there in regards to what you loved, what you didn't, but still without spoiling anything. This review was really helpful, thank you so much!
Do a bit of research on entropy and tachyon particles before you see the movie. You'll have a better grasp on the physics of what's happening. If you're into science, it'll make the movie that much better for you.
You're not alone with the sound mixing Jeremy, me and my friends commented on it as soon as the movie finished. It was especially difficult in the blue/red scene.
I kinda like it, SPOILERS Him being the guy who founded tenet shows that he did start the whole operation in the first place and saving the present (or the past/future) thus making him truly the protagonist, even tho I cant remeber his name lol, Robbert Pattinson honestly stole the show for me, he feels more like the protagonist and the dude feels more like his boss giving him orders
Comrade Sam he doesn’t have a name, so no worries there. On IMDb, he’s actually listed as “The Protagonist” 😂😂😂 For me, Elizabeth Debicki was the saving grace as far as characters go. Like most reviews have said, they felt like plot devices in the best of circumstances, and if they were engaging to watch, it was by performance alone, not the writing. Aside from that and the terrible (but typical) Nolan-brand sound mixing, everything else was pretty great. I’d give it an 8.
Fr, I'm high asf trying to watch a movie and I'm just bombarded with strings and chords. That's my only complaint for movies, especially nolan's. Just bump up the voices a few decibels.
@@comradesam3382 wow, I'm pretty good at following complex stories, but I honestly didn't catch any of that information when I saw that movie because of the audio mixing. I think I maybe caight about 50-60% of the exposition.
a Milling SPOILERS I feel like the movie would have been better if in the beginning at the opera the man with the red string saved the Protagonist and then got shot and killed, and in the end when the Protagonist and Neil are saying goodbye, and the Protagonist sees Neil has a red string, he realizes that Neil will go back in time, save him and then get killed, but he can’t change it since it’s predetermined and it’s a throwback to the beginning, a palindrome like the word Tenet. Instead, we got Neil sacrificing himself in the tunnel, where he ended up, somehow, (didn’t the entrance collapse?) in a dark scene where people have to look up wtf happened since it’s so unclear and abrupt. It was a bit unsatisfying, at least for me.
@@Nightraven26 SPOILER ALERT Actually I didnt mind what happened as per the actual movie. It broke my heart when it was shown he had the string on his bagpack. Realising all he did all movie was trying to protect his mentor.
@@Nightraven26 "we got Neil sacrificing himself in the tunnel, where he ended up, somehow, (didn’t the entrance collapse?" - he said he was going back in time again. It would still be fine.
Actually for all the scenes involving inversion, all the actors involved needed to learn how to act backwards and forwards for all scenes like that. I saw some BTS, it's fuckin' insane watching them do it.
Agree. The sound mix was so annoying!!!! Could not hear 40% of the dialogue because of the overpowering soundtrack. Who the hell is signing off on the final mix FFS.
I thought subtitles were only for old people but it looks like i'll be making a habit of using them now, another reason the theater experience is dying off bummer
The sound mixing was trash. Unnecessarily loud in certain areas. Like when Robert Pattinson was doing a countdown the “five” was loud as shit while the the rest of the numbers were low.
Same here. I'm probably giving a 7.5 to an 8.5 or a 9/10 movie because I literally couldn't hear every other word. I get that we're not supposed to understand everything, but I should be able to know whether or not I have questions because the movie wants the answers to be saved for later or because I couldn't hear all of the plot-essential exposition explaining exactly what I wanted and needed to know
Your inversion self is your future self. So as long as you present self has seen the film then your inversion self has seen it too :) It's your past self that doesn't know what it's missing 😅🤣
Me: Seen the trailer and don't understand it Inverted me: seen the movie and still don't fully understand it but I'm going back in time to get christopher nolan to fix the sound mixing.
Thing is, saying "I want a sequel" given HOW the movie opens it almost felt like a sequel? Because the first five to ten minutes feel like the climax of a previous film. It was so jarring to open that way but in a good way? I really enjoyed it. Everything until he finishes the conversation with the CIA dude on the boat feels like the "old" movie and then I feel like we transition into the new movie in the windmill and then the new movie actually starts when he meets Clemence Posey and she explains Inversion to him.
I thought the same thing, without spoilers, i felt as if the beginning would appear in the end of the movie again given certain visuals and a certain tag on someones backpack lol
@@barsonrebarb7893 I just loved the beginning, I felt a lot of empathy with John David's character because we were put in the same scenario as him, just dumped into the middle of it all and told "keep up" and he really sold it. He's such a star.
Well, I think the reason we start like that is because of why The Protagonist was "chosen". He took the pill. He showed his loyalty. And he was told that's why he was picked for the mission. Instead of just saying he took a pill, they showed the mission and how it went bad. Also, it served to show how big the influence of the backpack guy was on The Protagonist life. I do want a prequel. Of Neil's point of view before this movie timeline. Neil's my favourite.
@@sofiafernandes9 yeah I know that, I'm trying not to go into too much detail because this is a Red Jeremy video, these tend to be mostly spoiler free and some people are going to have a hard time getting to the cinema right now. I don't want to spoil people.
Stop blaming the projectionist, the sound-mix is that terrible by intention. It pissed me off in Interstellar, but it is way worse here, since it makes the movie actively incomprehensible!
@@Lost-In-Paradise I watched in IMAX earlier today and let me tell you me and my friend barely followed the story because we couldn't hear a damn word they were saying
lolbrunopt Such a lie by Chelsea P, I watched the movie in a Dolby cinema and let me tell you I generally didn’t understand what anyone was saying for a good part of the movie
This is actually the most positive review I've seen yet. All the other reviews say it looks good but it's soulless and the characters are thin and unengaging. But EVERY review says the sound mixing is crap.
Well...... The characters don't matter.... its just like Dunkirk.... Only the plot matters....... I mean the main character's name in Tenet was literelly 'The Protagonist'.......
Chris Stuckmanns review is way better. Jeremy keeps talking about trailer being misleading and it sure wtf he was talking about. The point of the trailer was it was intriguing but gave us nothing
Brad Wright you have to remember Nolan movies always score strangely. They aren’t for the average audience. I have not been disappointed by a single one of his films yet. This is the most concept heavy along with Dunkirk I would say where the story outweighs the characters but I still really enjoyed both. Shockingly inception which seemed complicated at the time is much easier to digest than this one cause Cobb just has a more compelling story than the progratinist. Nolan is one of the few filmmakers though where he can get away with that cause his concepts are so well done
I had the same experience with the first-half, second-half thing, but I think it's one of those cases where the first half is more interesting the second time you watch it and know what is "actually" going on.
I only watch teaser trailers ever since I saw The Force Awakens where it was more of an experience of watching the story getting pasted together by the trailer clips I had seen (and OG Star Wars too). “Oh that clip’s from the trailer”... 50 seconds later: “oh, and so is that one!.....and that one!... and that one!” and so on
Yeah, while talking to peeps who complained that characters were not developed enough (which I kinda disagree with) I say, Nolan already did this movie as a character piece, it's called Memento
The sound mix is completely fucked . Made me hate the whole experience. I don’t mind to coming to the end of a movie and admit I didn’t understand it, but to not understand because you couldn’t hear a word of important plot points is unforgivable.
@@davidhowman4212 with how confusing Tenet was, this one you really needed to hear what they were saying. How the algorithm works still doesn't really make sense?
@@ceno10101 I haven't seen Tenet yet so I can't speak to that, just the feelings I've gotten from Interstellar, Dunkirk, etc. But it's a Nolan movie so I'm gonna see it multiple times no matter what.
@@davidhowman4212 yeah, when it is released I can put on subtitles, between the accents and the muffled dialogue sound it is hard to pick up in this one. Especially since they explain stuff quickly, it is hard to pick up what is going on.
I doubt he will make one. In making a part two or something like that, the idea wouldn't be fresh anymore. The only franchise Nolan ever did was The Dark Knight Trilogy. And it became very clear that he was really only interested in making The Dark Knight and made the other two out of obligation.
I for one, would like to see antagonist from future, who inverted to our time. Also, there is potential (if inversion discover is not that far) that we can see real antagonist, the people who are trying to invert time. My personal favourite theory is how protag would react if his older self faces armageddon from global warming. Since he believes every generation for itself, would he then support global-time-inversion.And perhaps become the cause of war from future
@@wjzav1971 he wanted to make Begins. He was made a great offer to make TDK considering Begins flopped at the box office. He had nowhere else to go. He only became the Nolan of today after TDK.
Yeah I really struggled to follow what people were saying at times. I felt like I was doing whatever the equivalent of squinting and straining your eyes, but with my ears.
A Shaw 101 That’s a perfect way to put it. I’m starting to think that it’s a Nolan artistic preference because in nearly all of his movies, there’s bad sound mixing.
The second half of the movie is actually the set up for the Frist half of the movie that's why I think its throwing people of. Its definitely one to be rewatched
Credit for some originality, going outta his way to make it, action scenes, visuals were good, movie as the whole just didn't do it. Plot was so confusing, tricks you into thinking it's actually making sense. Tbh, sometimes he makes his movies too much complicated. Hoping it's atleast on the Inception level, understood that just fine. Also due to weak sound mixing, could bearly hear the dialogues and important plot points, prevented people from actually understanding it, just too loud. He nailed the time concept on Inception but with Tenet, missed the mark. Wanted to say this, also knows saying that about his movie in the Internet is a good way to get lynched. Maybe it's high expectations, it's Nolan we are talking about.
@@everythingisawesome2903 I think with the level of popularity on nolans past films this ended up getting over-hyped and became a victim of its own design tho with the sound stuff I notice alot of people are ragging on that but I found out that his long time film editor lee smith was replaced with Jennifer Lame for this movie and the usual composer hans zimmer was replaced with black panther composer ludwig Göransson so maybe that's why the sound design was weak here
The movie is incredible. The plot exists as an excuse to play with temporally oppositional timelines and the things Nolan does with the altered physics are mesmerizing. Little details too, like when the wakes from the boats and the wind showed the world's entropy in reverse from that of The Protagonist who was doing pull up. Running the film in reverse would show the world running forwards and his motion reversed. We've seen it twice. Noticed a few things 2nd time around, particularly Neil. There's still a lot of mystery with him. Tenet needs a sequel.
Man the sound is so messed up in this movie. The sound effects muddle the dialogue so you can barley hear or understand what people are saying.I was lost half way through the movie because I could not hear pieces of dialogue so it ruined the movie for me.
It was especially sad for this movie, which was so dependent on "telling, not showing." It relied too much on dialogue to explain what's going on, but then you can't hear anything they're saying.
Not just your experience, the dialogue was frequently inaudible.
That's the problem that I always have with Nolan's movies. I either have to switch on subtitles or turn the volume all of the way up but if I do that, my ears get assblasted by the loud ass effects
I didn't experience this seeing the movie in IMAX
Renan Haanstra I did
Good it wasn't just me then
Why are people complaining about the audio. I heard everything said in this movie.
Throughout this whole movie I was thinking "What's this guy's name, again?" Oh wait his name is literally "The Protagonist."
I kept wondering was "The Protagonist" his name or his Title/Rank.

Inception was layered with concurrent events so that mindfuck of a movie was still easy to understand. Tenet’s layers are in the past and future and their interaction which makes it harder to follow than the concurrent layers of Inception. Still, great movie. I’m gonna have to watch this one to understand it more unlike Inception which didn’t leave me with many questions.
Love Jeremy's look, he is ready to lead Persian armies in a war against Greek states.
He definitely looks more like a greek than a Persian
He looks like he's in the middle of raising toddlers, the stress is real😂
im persian and he actually looks like one of my cousins... even before the new look
His arrows will block out the sun.
A Seleucid general perhaps?
We need Tenet so we can tell Christopher Nolan to add subtitles to this movie because no one can hear the dialogue.
Well, I could hear it fine. You must all have really bad ears because I do not understand how you can not hear and understand the diologue in Tenet and English isn't even my first language
Jensie I loved the movie. I saw it in IMAX, but there were definitely parts where the dialogue was indiscernible. Maybe it was made to be that way - idk. But when a majority of people have this issue, it’s not an issue with the people - it’s an issue with the audio mix.
Jarod Castro great comparison. It was an incredible movie. I’d give it a 3.5-4/5 after one watch, but I think it will get better with more watches. People just like to complain, unfortunately.

I feel sorrier for the guy who watches them. They have absolutely no substance, no character plot, no depth. With each film the set up and concept becomes more and more convoluted; to the point where all those things that make a film great, plot, character, story, dialogue are just servants to the concept. How did filmmaking get this bad? Where it's just an agenda, or a special effect that the audience are being asked to pay to see.

I watched it in IMAX and the dialogue was so hard to hear, I watched it in a regular cinema and could hear everything
I watched it in a regular cinema and it was hard to hear people, the volume was all over the place, at times i had to put my fingers in my ears. No joke.
Good to know. I saw it in IMAX tonight. Going back for Dolby Theater tomorrow and hopefully it’ll be better. I might ask if they have an app for the hard of hearing so I can watch it with subtitles on my phone or something.
I saw in a regular theater, too. Had no problems at all. Everything was nice and loud including dialogue. So many people are saying they have problems, I'm glad I'm not the only one who didn't.
I watched it in IMAX as well and feel like I only heard about 50% of the movie's dialogue clearly, which really took away from the film.
@@MrJagermeister It's not any better in Dolby. I saw it like 4 hours ago and was like Jesus I'm missing plot points here cause I can't hear what the fuck they're saying

Nolan films have had that problem, going at least as far back as Interstellar
@@etchedinstone7562 So...two other movies?
@@jankydoodle8858 You could argue The Dark Knight Rises as well, since Bane was often incomprehensible.
Part of that has to do with bad acting that causes very little inflection in their tone and voices as a whole.
@@douglassmith6288 I have to disagree.. Acting wasn't the problem at all.. Like Jeremy said, the background noise was a tad too high
I could barely understand anything anyone was saying in this movie. Good thing there were subtitles since I live in a non English-speaking country.
I’m glad I’m not the only one who thought this
I mean every time someone talked they either mumbled their line or it was covered up by their thick ass accent.
I wish I had the option to watch movies with subtitles, I live in USA do I don't get that unless is a non english speaking film but I hate that I don't have the option. I watch absolutely everything with subtitles
that’s actually something with Chris Nolan movies are known to have, low vocal mixes lol idk why they mix it that way
Subverted the nolan batman trilogy was super dark couldn’t see shit haha
Subverted so true, it’s so annoying watching at home having to constantly switch the volume back and forth. Dialogue scenes are quiet as hell and then Hans Zimmer blows out your speakers during action scenes lol. At least you can have subtitles at home I guess.
It wasn’t just you, the dialogue was hard to hear clearly throughout the film.

Even Interstellars sound mixing was better.

@Davej Resay absolutely
No it wasn’t just you, Jeremy. Yh sound mixing in this film is fvcked. It really helped lose me in the plot.. I can also see Tenet (and maybe The Batman) potentially being the film that gets Pattinson cast as the next Bond.
@Gomer Mcphee good actor but i don't see him as a bond guy/ maybe seeing it would prove me wrong. But Pattinson, I could see him for sure
If by the time of the next Bond movie the woke zeitgeist has not dispersed and Bond has to be a non-caucasian now, I want Lewis Tan for the role.
Yea I thought I was just being dumb. Honestly was like “subtitles might be nice” for once
I was so confused in the opening, I didn’t know why they were rescuing that guy at the opera house, where they were taking him, why they brought a different guy and why the people he was working with got angry with him when he brought a different guy. All I heard was something about the terrorist attack being a front to kill him and then the guy he met with saying “you brought us a nobody” like what was going on
@@mrcritical6751 Right there with you friend. No clue what was going on - and you absolutely nailed all the confusing elements. I understood all the weird Time Inversion stuff way more than the "conventional" opening... and I'm still struggling with some of that Time Inversion stuff!
Went into the movie with a lot of excitement and left the movie feeling a little bit underwhelmed. The movie was okay, nothing in the movie felt new since the trailers spoiled everything. I didn’t care too much for the characters, expect for Neil. Neil was my favorite character and his arc is well written. The cinematography was so good. I’ve never watched such a crystal clear movie.
EDIT: It’s almost a year later since the last time I watched Tenet. I watched it today and to be honest, I appreciate it way more than I did when it first came out. I love the concept of inversion and it’s structured really well throughout the film. I also like the spy aspect of the film. The Protagonist is an interesting character. I like how he helps Kat while also using her. Neil is still the best character in my opinion and I personally started to feel more for Kat. Sure there’s some exposition but honestly I really don’t give a damn because the exposition didn’t ruin the film for me. Kenneth Branagh as Sator was and is still incredible in Tenet. The film really grew on me and I recommend everyone to watch it again if they didn’t like/understand it.
Agreed, neil was awes9me but the other characters was kind of cliche
Coronavirus: Because of me Tenet will never make enough money in order to break even!
Nolan: It's not about money. It's about sending a message.
*It's not about the money. It's about sending a message.

It could've been crazy if the "inversion" wasn't in the trailers at all, can you imagine?
I never watch any of his trailers, I just know i will love whatever he puts out

@@icespicefan4771 It's a Nolan movie, of course it will do well
The sound mixing was awful, especially at the beginning when you’re trying to understand what the characters are doing and you can’t understand a word they are saying
I had no problem hearing and understanding everything, maybe the centerchannel was louder in my theater. I saw inception with the center channel on half volume in the theater, that was terrible, got my money back thankfully.
Glad that wasn’t just me 😂
I had trouble hearing as well . Had the same issue with Interstellar. Loved Tenet but definitely didn’t absorb all the dialogue because of it.
Whenever I think of Nolan, I think "BWAAAAAAAAAA!!!"
I'm going out on a limb and saying, since The Dark Knight Rises and maaaayyyybe Inception, the vast, vast majority of people either don't understand dialogue in chunks of the movie or understand it while recognizing it's not actually very easy to understand. Even the trailers for this movie have weirdly indistinct dialogue to the point I had to switch on subtitles or captioning (something I otherwise never have to do).
Just finished the movie, so great. Can't wait to watch it.
Nice. Lol
I'm soooo happy I didn't see a trailer before I watched Tenet. I literally had no idea what the film was about apart from the poster and that's so rare. I would definitely recommend anyone to watch as few trailers as possible. Also, very happy to live in a country where films are subtitled, because when they're not, I always think I'm missing pieces of dialogue.
I live in the UK and I wish it was subtitled lol. About half the dialogue was unintelligible.
It's literally impossible to not watch trailers when you go to the cinema a lot. I end up getting so bored of the films before they even come out from seeing the trailer over and over.
for future films i will stop doing that, same reason, but released films already i don't read plot, or anything,
The trailers don’t reveal anything
@@Cinemiah In a weird way the trailers manage to show stuff from every major setpiece in the film while simultaneously showing nothing.
This entire movie is a single time loop within a larger time loop. Within these time loops are more time loops
so now is it timeception?
Yes very annoying
except there is no loop, for what was depicted in this movie to have happened time could not have changed past to present and vice-versa. That means no loop just a straight line, btw that also means no free-will.

Do a bit of research on entropy and tachyon particles before you see the movie. You'll have a better grasp on the physics of what's happening. If you're into science, it'll make the movie that much better for you.

Him being the guy who founded tenet shows that he did start the whole operation in the first place and saving the present (or the past/future) thus making him truly the protagonist, even tho I cant remeber his name lol, Robbert Pattinson honestly stole the show for me, he feels more like the protagonist and the dude feels more like his boss giving him orders
Comrade Sam he doesn’t have a name, so no worries there. On IMDb, he’s actually listed as “The Protagonist” 😂😂😂
For me, Elizabeth Debicki was the saving grace as far as characters go. Like most reviews have said, they felt like plot devices in the best of circumstances, and if they were engaging to watch, it was by performance alone, not the writing. Aside from that and the terrible (but typical) Nolan-brand sound mixing, everything else was pretty great. I’d give it an 8.
Fr, I'm high asf trying to watch a movie and I'm just bombarded with strings and chords. That's my only complaint for movies, especially nolan's. Just bump up the voices a few decibels.

I feel like the movie would have been better if in the beginning at the opera the man with the red string saved the Protagonist and then got shot and killed, and in the end when the Protagonist and Neil are saying goodbye, and the Protagonist sees Neil has a red string, he realizes that Neil will go back in time, save him and then get killed, but he can’t change it since it’s predetermined and it’s a throwback to the beginning, a palindrome like the word Tenet. Instead, we got Neil sacrificing himself in the tunnel, where he ended up, somehow, (didn’t the entrance collapse?) in a dark scene where people have to look up wtf happened since it’s so unclear and abrupt. It was a bit unsatisfying, at least for me.
EXACTLY I've never liked a character in this type of movies as much as Neil!

Thing is, saying "I want a sequel" given HOW the movie opens it almost felt like a sequel? Because the first five to ten minutes feel like the climax of a previous film. It was so jarring to open that way but in a good way? I really enjoyed it. Everything until he finishes the conversation with the CIA dude on the boat feels like the "old" movie and then I feel like we transition into the new movie in the windmill and then the new movie actually starts when he meets Clemence Posey and she explains Inversion to him.
I thought the same thing, without spoilers, i felt as if the beginning would appear in the end of the movie again given certain visuals and a certain tag on someones backpack lol
@@barsonrebarb7893 I just loved the beginning, I felt a lot of empathy with John David's character because we were put in the same scenario as him, just dumped into the middle of it all and told "keep up" and he really sold it. He's such a star.
Well, I think the reason we start like that is because of why The Protagonist was "chosen". He took the pill. He showed his loyalty. And he was told that's why he was picked for the mission. Instead of just saying he took a pill, they showed the mission and how it went bad. Also, it served to show how big the influence of the backpack guy was on The Protagonist life.

Chris Stuckmanns review is way better.
Jeremy keeps talking about trailer being misleading and it sure wtf he was talking about. The point of the trailer was it was intriguing but gave us nothing
Really? Stuckmann was really positive on it and it has a 79% on RT, which is higher than Interstellar and The Prestige (both of which I loved)
Brad Wright you have to remember Nolan movies always score strangely. They aren’t for the average audience. I have not been disappointed by a single one of his films yet. This is the most concept heavy along with Dunkirk I would say where the story outweighs the characters but I still really enjoyed both.
Shockingly inception which seemed complicated at the time is much easier to digest than this one cause Cobb just has a more compelling story than the progratinist. Nolan is one of the few filmmakers though where he can get away with that cause his concepts are so well done
The keypoint here should be "entropy" ,it has less to do with time actually.
Have to be completely honest, I completely thought that I already watched this video at the beginning. Clever intro Jeremy you win this round.
Completely understandable, my completely complete mate.
I had the same experience with the first-half, second-half thing, but I think it's one of those cases where the first half is more interesting the second time you watch it and know what is "actually" going on.
You know a director has influenced people when the reviews of his movies match his style of filmmaking. That's Nolan to you.
Went into this not watching the trailer and was VERY surprised once the idea of inversion came on screen. Would suggest avoiding trailers to everyone!
I only watch teaser trailers ever since I saw The Force Awakens where it was more of an experience of watching the story getting pasted together by the trailer clips I had seen (and OG Star Wars too). “Oh that clip’s from the trailer”... 50 seconds later: “oh, and so is that one!.....and that one!... and that one!” and so on
It's like _Memento_ but literally going backwards.
@Ryan Hartwell That doesn't really make sense haha
Yeah, while talking to peeps who complained that characters were not developed enough (which I kinda disagree with) I say, Nolan already did this movie as a character piece, it's called Memento

Well, I just got new earphones (...and YES, they're called EARPHONES) and I thought a train was coming.
I heard the sound perfectly, but apparently the mixing was fixed at some point between screenings so people saw two different cuts of the film
I thot headphones r the ones w the band over ur head. And earphones r the ones in ur ears? Is it not?
@@waterywingz I second that..
He's such a great host and I think he should venture into some more fields because I just love him talking
Same here :)
I had issues with the audio also...
Santa_in_a_ Saloon same, wish he review some hentai
He should guest on EFAP
I like Jahns but that would be the least entertaining podcast on Earth if he doesn’t have the gall to ask challenging questions or be playful.
I love Nolan movies, but his sound mixing is always horrible. Put the dialogue track on top!
I actually enjoy it. Makes me feel more like I'm there. Pristine sound mixing doesn't exist in real life. I think I'm in the minority there though
@@davidhowman4212 with how confusing Tenet was, this one you really needed to hear what they were saying. How the algorithm works still doesn't really make sense?
@@ceno10101 I haven't seen Tenet yet so I can't speak to that, just the feelings I've gotten from Interstellar, Dunkirk, etc. But it's a Nolan movie so I'm gonna see it multiple times no matter what.
@@davidhowman4212 yeah, when it is released I can put on subtitles, between the accents and the muffled dialogue sound it is hard to pick up in this one. Especially since they explain stuff quickly, it is hard to pick up what is going on.
@@ceno10101 you don't have subtitles in cinema?
I think tenet has potential to be Nolan’s own franchise
I doubt he will make one. In making a part two or something like that, the idea wouldn't be fresh anymore.
The only franchise Nolan ever did was The Dark Knight Trilogy. And it became very clear that he was really only interested in making The Dark Knight and made the other two out of obligation.
@@wjzav1971 I do like to see the stuff Neil talked about at the end of the movie.
It was garbage
I for one, would like to see antagonist from future, who inverted to our time. Also, there is potential (if inversion discover is not that far) that we can see real antagonist, the people who are trying to invert time.
My personal favourite theory is how protag would react if his older self faces armageddon from global warming. Since he believes every generation for itself, would he then support global-time-inversion.And perhaps become the cause of war from future
@@wjzav1971 he wanted to make Begins. He was made a great offer to make TDK considering Begins flopped at the box office. He had nowhere else to go. He only became the Nolan of today after TDK.
I loved the fact that at certain scenes (no spoilers) even the music/soundtrack was inverted ^^ talking about details
Pros: its a Christopher Nolan movie. Cons: It's a Christopher Nolan movie
This was a funny comment then I looked at who made it....
@@VanGTO49 a bbw?
The Insatiable Mr. Dong I don’t have an issue with big girls
The Insatiable Mr. Dong I’ll pass
The Insatiable Mr. Dong I’m sure plenty of lonely dudes will
It’s not you, Jeremy, it’s bad sound mixing.
Yep, sound was terrible
Yeah I really struggled to follow what people were saying at times. I felt like I was doing whatever the equivalent of squinting and straining your eyes, but with my ears.
A Shaw 101 That’s a perfect way to put it. I’m starting to think that it’s a Nolan artistic preference because in nearly all of his movies, there’s bad sound mixing.
It depends on the theatre.
I could make out almost everything, others have said they had no issues.
Nolan movies I've seen ranked in MY OPINION:
1. The Dark Knight
2. Interstellar
3. Inception
4. The Dark Knight Rises
5. Batman Begins
6. Tenet
The second half of the movie is actually the set up for the Frist half of the movie that's why I think its throwing people of. Its definitely one to be rewatched
This movie is going to age like a fine wine, it's only going to bet better with time!
it just hasn't happened yet
Credit for some originality, going outta his way to make it, action scenes, visuals were good, movie as the whole just didn't do it. Plot was so confusing, tricks you into thinking it's actually making sense. Tbh, sometimes he makes his movies too much complicated. Hoping it's atleast on the Inception level, understood that just fine. Also due to weak sound mixing, could bearly hear the dialogues and important plot points, prevented people from actually understanding it, just too loud. He nailed the time concept on Inception but with Tenet, missed the mark. Wanted to say this, also knows saying that about his movie in the Internet is a good way to get lynched. Maybe it's high expectations, it's Nolan we are talking about.
@@everythingisawesome2903 I think with the level of popularity on nolans past films this ended up getting over-hyped and became a victim of its own design
tho with the sound stuff I notice alot of people are ragging on that but I found out that his long time film editor lee smith was replaced with Jennifer Lame for this movie and the usual composer hans zimmer was replaced with black panther composer ludwig Göransson so maybe that's why the sound design was weak here
End music in reverse sounds pretty dope, keep it haha
I thought it was ludwig’s score
The movie is incredible. The plot exists as an excuse to play with temporally oppositional timelines and the things Nolan does with the altered physics are mesmerizing. Little details too, like when the wakes from the boats and the wind showed the world's entropy in reverse from that of The Protagonist who was doing pull up. Running the film in reverse would show the world running forwards and his motion reversed. We've seen it twice. Noticed a few things 2nd time around, particularly Neil. There's still a lot of mystery with him. Tenet needs a sequel.
I like how the 'No alcohol required' rating scene went in reverse. 😂
From a few reviews, I can confidently say that the sound mixing seems to suck.
May be try listening it in reverse
If Hans zimmer did it then it would’ve been a masterpiece
@@Cinemiah wouldnt have mattered chris nolan fucked the mixing in Inception and Interstellar too but its whatever, still great movies
Ish Bhuiyan no the mixing in inception was incredible - in tenet the mixing was awful like the music wasn’t even nice to hear
DabonJannies yeah that’s probably why in that scene there was no music at all
Samuel L. Jackson
"I"m tired of this mutha****** dialogue in mutha****** movies!!"
Nolan took his criticism to heart.
That criticism is so petty, lol, because his dialogue is usually organic and fits in the context of the story while allowing for characters to shine.
Man the sound is so messed up in this movie. The sound effects muddle the dialogue so you can barley hear or understand what people are saying.I was lost half way through the movie because I could not hear pieces of dialogue so it ruined the movie for me.
all his music have movies in them
It was especially sad for this movie, which was so dependent on "telling, not showing." It relied too much on dialogue to explain what's going on, but then you can't hear anything they're saying.
