If anything, it’s decent at hiding things from you at first and then providing explanations later. And if you watch again, some things suddenly make more sense now that you know about the inverted people.
At the end of the day, remember that temporal pincer movement that they explained in the part in Tallinn? Where you send people in both forwards and backwards into some point so one group has information from the other (or it’s the same people going into the same time multiple times)? The whole movie is temporal pincer movements encompassed within each other so there’s shorter periods of people going inverted, but also longer ones - towards the end they go several days if not weeks inverted so they can go back to when Sator’s on the boat with his wife around the same time as the attack in the “Kyiv Opera House” (actually filmed in Tallinn City Hall) at the beginning of the movie.
I’m sure there’s details I’ve missed, and for sure I don’t remember the exact order of each inversion and what happened exactly when. But broad strokes, it’s easy to understand and doesn’t take a superior 5d brain at all. My average ADHD brain can handle it.
Idk, Tenet didn’t seem that complex to me?

It’s not complex; it’s convoluted. That’s how Nolan works. It’s a good thing that he’s a great director, because he’s a terrible writer.
